And now my fingers are stained with beet juice

 Yesterday's recipe was beet pancakes, which involved shredding raw beets.  Anyone who's cooked with beets know that if you look at a beet sideways for even a moment, your skin and clothes will have purple stains on them that are hard to remove.

 

If you find yourself with beet juice fingers (as opposed to salad fingers), all you need to do is 

Google How do I remove beet juice from my fingers?

Or just keep reading and I will tell you:  rub lemon juice on your fingers, including the place where you sliced yourself grating the the beets.  And then, rub salt on them!  Be sure to get plenty of salt in that little wound.  Freakin' ow. 

There you have it: Salt. Lemon. Tequila optional.
