Cooking instruction summary:

Preheat your oven to 425 degrees. Rinse, dry, and trim the beets (don’t worry about peeling), then drizzle with olive oil and wrap loosely in a sheet of aluminum foil, creating a sealed pouch. Place onto a metal baking sheet and bake for 45 minutes to an hour until a fork inserts easily. Once cooked, remove the beets from the oven, open the foil pouch to allow steam to escape, and let cool for about 10 minutes. Then, using the dull edge of a knife, gently peel away the skin of the beets and discard. Cut the peeled beets into quarters or sixths, depending on size, then set them aside to cool completely.While the beets are cooling, prepare the vinaigrette. Whisk together the olive oil, clementine zest and juice, honey, a pinch or two of salt, and several cranks of fresh black pepper. Taste the mixture and adjust the amount of honey, salt, and pepper to suit your preference.Cut the thick pink stems from the base of the beet leaves, then slice the greens roughly into ¼ inch strips (about 4 cups of sliced greens is ideal). Cut the red onion into thin, half-moon slices.In a bowl or lidded container, combine the prepared beets, greens, and red onions. Pour the vinaigrette over the vegetables, tossing to coat, then cover and transfer to the refrigerator. Allow the mixture to marinate for at least 8 hours or overnight.Prior to serving, toss the refrigerated mixture, taste, and add any additional salt and pepper that may be needed. Transfer to a platter or individual serving dishes, sprinkling the crumbled goat cheese and chopped pistachios on top just prior to serving.

Food Joke

Another version of The Good Wife Guide This article (believe it or not) is an actual extract from a Home Economics textbook printed in the early 1960’s. It is absolutely true and it was written in a serious manner – it was not written as a joke. So you women out there, please don’t blame me. In fact I for one am glad things have changed in the 21st century as much as they have! Challenge. If anyone wants to prepare, “The Good Husband Guide” as you think it might have been written in the 1960’s, then send it to me. Have dinner ready. Plan ahead even the night before, to have a delicious meal ready on time for his return from work. This is a way of letting him know that you have been thinking about him and are concerned about his needs. Prepare yourself. Take 15minutes to rest so you will be refreshed when he arrives. Touch up your make-up, put a ribbon in your hair and be fresh looking. He has just been with a lot of work weary people. Be a little gay and a little more interesting for him. His boring day may need a lift and one of your duties is to provide it. Clear away the clutter. Make one last trip through the main part of the house just before your husband arrives. Gather up schoolbooks, toys, papers etc and then run a dust cloth over the tables. During the colder months of the year you should prepare and light a fire for him to unwind by. After all, catering for his comfort will provide you immense personal satisfaction. Make the evening his. Never complain if he goes out to dinner or other places of entertainment without you. Instead, try to understand his world of strain and pressure and his very real need to be at home and relax. Try to make sure your home is a place of peace, order and tranquillity. Don’t complain if he’s late home for dinner or even stays out all night. Count this as minor compared to what he might have gone through that day. Make him comfortable. Have him lean back in a comfortable chair. Have a cool or warm drink ready for him. Arrange the pillow and offer to take off his shoes. Speak in a low, soothing and pleasant voice. Remember, he is the master of the house and as such will always exercise his will with fairness and truthfulness. Once he has had a chance to have his evening meal, clear the dishes and wash up promptly. If your husband should offer to help decline his offers – he may feel obliged to repeat this offer and after a long working day he does not need the extra work. Encourage your husband to pursue his hobbies and interests and be supportive without seeming to encroach. If you have any little hobbies try not to bore him speaking of these, as women’s interests are often rather trivial compared to men’s. at the end of the evening tidy the home ready for the morning and again think ahead to his breakfast needs. Once you have both retired to the bedroom prepare yourself for bed as promptly as possible. Your tired husband does not want to queue for the bathroom, as he would have to do for his train. However, try to remember to look your best when going to bed. Try to achieve a look that is welcoming without being obvious. If you need to apply face cream or hair rollers wait until he is asleep as this can be shocking to a man last thing at night.
