My free watch came in the mail from my Chatelaine magazine subscription. It's quite attractive. Magazines are really fighting to stay alive in this internet world, I think.
I was leafing through a magazine at K's orthodontist the other day, and came across this recipe in Chatelaine magazine. This looks like a nice, simple recipe. You just boil the beets and make a nice dressing for them. It even includes the beet greens. Last summer I was given a lot of beets and didn't know what to do with them all. I think I still have some frozen. Are you a fan of beets?
K had to get new retainers at the orthodontist. They took a digital scan of his mouth and showed him a 3D image of his teeth, rotating it at will. He said it was so neat to see. The old way was to put gunky plaster in your mouth. You can hardly see these transparent retainers when he is wearing them and they have a precision fit. He needs them at night to keep his teeth in place. They must be very comfortable as he has been wearing them without being reminded. He had braces for 3 or 4 years and has a perfect set of teeth so it's worth looking after them. I admire the orthodontist, he is so 'state of the art' and on top of things. We never have to wait and everything seems to be automated and efficient. Well, he is a simply brilliant doctor.

What a nice watch :)
I had braces until high school and they were the metal type. No fun. Times have sure changed for the better. The beet recipe sounds wonderful.
Glad times have changed at the orthodontists! But I have to confess that I hate beets in all forms! Valerie
Wow I am so happy technology has found it's way to the dentist!
Great to hear you have a "state of the art" orthodontist Christine.
Take care

Your watch is lovely, and thanks for sharing the beet recipe. I have a bag of them but not quite sure what to do..
I'm not a fan of beet, but my sister told me to eat them to have more energy..
I like beets, especially cold and pickled[?]. Yesterday I had another crown done at the dentist. The bad news was $975 and that was after a 5% senior citizen discount. The good news is the technology where the whole thing was done in in one visit in 2 hours. That wonderful very expensive machine that they have in the office makes the crown on the spot. Amazing!!
I haven't have beets before but I heard that they are good. I love your watch, pretty!
Mare this is so interesting to know! Well except for the price!
Melgie you can buy a can of pickled beets to try, just toss them into a salad, pretty yum!
lol Valerie! Well they are nutritious!
Eva, I might give them to my daughter actually, it looks like her style.
Kay they do have the new invisalign braces now which seem to work quite well. K also had metal ones.
Peggy, I'm always so impressed by this orthodontist, some people seem to have it all.
so you will have to try this beet salad then Icy.
Beautiful watch, Christine! I wouldn't mind owning it. As for the beets, well, I am not a fan of them. Lol. I, too, wore braces from 6th grade to 9th grade and had to wear retainers, which I no longer wear. The braces really hurt my teeth and gums. Would not want to go through that ordeal again.
Can you believe I've never had beets in my life? Crazy.
I love beets. Especially fresh ones from the garden. I didn't grow any in my community garden plot but people shared with me last summer, this year I want to grow a lovely striped variety. Sliced thin in a pan and roasted on the bbq with a drizzle of olive oil and pepper... Yumm. Can't wait.
I must admit I don't like beets!
Magazine need to keep up subscribers to keep their advertising dollars. Quite a time for media. They have to rethink it all!
Cheers from Cottage Country!
I miss wearing watches. They always break on me at work.
