The farmers market never works for me because I think "What can I make with beets? Ooh, I'm sure I can find something," and then I take them home and its too overwhelming (d-u-m) so then they rot.

It works better to pour through my thousands of cookbooks and find a recipe that speaks to me and go shopping for it. THen I only get overwhelmed half the time.

It isn't that bad once I start, but sometimes I freeze at the getting started phase for no particular reason!
