Nudge #9, The Creative Revolutionaries

Taste something new.

The nudge this week isn't journal-related. It's all about our tastebuds. When you head to the grocery or produce store this week, look for something you never ate or rarely eat. In my case, it is beets: fresh beets with their tops attached. See here for beet dyed fabric and here for Beet Soup.

At Ina Garten's personal suggestion (ahem), I peeled the beets, cut them into chunks, tossed them with olive oil and roasted them in the oven. Yeah, diggin' the beets. This could be a good time to browse your  recipes or make something crazy, play with your food. S'mores, anyone?

Yes, this nudge is more than 5 minutes but cooking is good, right?

If you can't bear the idea of cooking, go to a new restaurant. Desserts absolutely qualify. It's all about taste.

I'll be simmering my beet trimmings in some water to make beet ink. Yeah, diggin' the beets.

Journal as desired.
