Re: Beetroot ?

The secret pill always makes me laugh. Being good at freediving is in you. Not some magic pill or beeting your root that makes you good at it. LOL.

Re: Beetroot ?

Sara,
You are supposed to cook the beetroot whole, without cutting the roots or top, that way all the color doesn't spread. Once cooked it peels very easy.

Shane isn't a guarro, he's just a poor boy without any experience.

Re: Beetroot ?

Beetroot in a fridge makes everything taste like beetroot.
Same in a sandwich.

Re: Beetroot ?

Beet does make you capable of anything, it even removes inhibitions to commit suicide!

Re: Beetroot ?

This beetroot sounds like a wonder drug! And I thought it was only another root vegetable...

I think I'll skip the beetroot experience, whatever that is...
