I Love Lucy, and Lucy Loves Beets



This immediately made me think of Lucille Ball and the way she would paint her lipstick waaaaaaaaaaaay outside the borders of her mouth. Audrey achieved this look by taking a mouthful of pureed beets-- of which she greatly approved-- and pressing her lips together, a kind of "Compliments to the chef!" gesture that she has. Don't be alarmed by the color; it's really just beets, sweet potato and pears all pureed together. That is nature's own hue, I swear. And now that hue is on everything. And I do mean everything.
