Beet recipes please?

Does anyone have a favorite recipe for refrigerator pickled beets?  Or any beet recipe.  I just tasted one of my beets from the garden and realized I need some tips to make them tasty.

    I absolutely love roasting beets to bring out their sweetness and flavor.  Bonus:  you don't even have to peel them.  Just scrub, cut into approx 1" pieces, toss with some olive oil and salt and throw into a 375 degree oven with some sprigs of fresh thyme and rosemary for 45 minutes to 1 hour.

    Now I'm off to check out Birgit's blog!

      I like your idea of roasting the beets.  I did not even realize it was Birgit blog, but now I really want to try her battered cod recipe.

      Ditto Leanne's roasted beets - but I add a splash of balsamic at the end.

      Grace, I love the Russian Cabbage Borscht recipe from my Moosewood Cookbook.  You can find it here:
