10 Not-So-Brilliant Ways to Use Canned Beets

So I'm at the grocery store the other day and I decide to browse the magazine rack while standing in line. As these racks are intended to do, I was tempted to make an impulse purchase. I've enjoyed reading the "First for women" magazine now and then since it first came out. So I picked one up quickly flipped through it and threw it into my cart. Later that evening I'm enjoying reading the articles when there it was, a 2 page spread starting on page 20. The heading read "10 Brilliant Ways to Use Canned Beets". I gasped, and then gagged, out loud. When my husband who was rather startled by my display asked, "What's wrong", I read the heading to him while making a horrible face. I then roared with laughter at his frst response; "Throw it in the trash". His response was fiollowed by another, and another, as we laughed and gagged our way to a brilliant list of our own.
