Beets, Bloody Beets

Oh my, where does the time go? I know it's been a while, but I've been racked by curiosity about the tasty things I know you ladies are eating. I'm especially looking at you, T-cakes, and the things you must have eaten in Poland! Although I'm sure Vis-biscuits has exotic menus to report as well. So, the most exciting dish I've made recently is the beet risotto from the that book with the author holding a wooden spoon authoritatively. This is not actually my photo, but it looked exactly like that and was very tasty. I think I will be making it for Halloween dinner & movie night (which will be mellow in honor of the ban on partying in the Castro - did you know that 10 people got wounded with gun shots last year?), with some suitable accompaniments. Last year, I had black pasta(it's made with squid ink) with something less memorable, and black caviar, and of course, sangria. Any movie suggestions? That are not too scary, as the hostess is very delicate.
