Thank you for the detailed instructions! Love beets and the photo of your stained hands :-)

Slice up the onions and break them up with your hands - you want maximum surface area exposed for optimal fermentation. Cry as you need. Purge out your grief and your unrequited loves. Make a note to go and rewatch Babette's Feast. Cry a bit more, just to be sure.

I literally burst out laughing after reading step one! You are hilarious @artemislives
