Don't like beets, do you?  The beet pie that I make is
very tasty, but I just didn't want to have to make a
special pie crust for it.  I have never made "beer
pie" but I have made "beer soup", which is very
delisious.

Ah, Arte dear, I think we are going to have to rethink
this recipe, since it is way off period.  That will
teach me not to look things up just because my
apprentice tells me that it is "a little post period".
Sigh.  My fault.  I promise not to beat you too hard
tonight. :-)
