add cabbage, stir around, heat until soft. may want to turn heat up to medium-high at this point.

add potatoes. stir around, heat about three minutes.

add beets. add water to cover vegetables. bring to a boil.

*this is when it gets real pretty!!!! i <3 pink

cook it for a while. add salt and peppa 2 taste. add juice of one lemon. just cook it until the beets are as soft as you like 'em (for me this was about an hour).

put it in a bowl. sprinkle fresh dill on top, serve with a lemon wedge and Rustic bread that you made yourself.

while you're eating, you may want to think about the tsar and his family and how really unfair it is that you work your ass off all day long, you're 28 and look and FEEL like you're 52, you have arthritis and pockmarks and rotten teeth, and you get to eat bread and soup almost every day of your life. that's the heart and soul of borscht. 'sup, serf.
