"We can get to heaven, walking on the moon..."

There are three theories as to how the rock formations at Nambung National Park, called The Pinnacles, came to be: karstification, precipitated indurated calcrete and calcium accumulation. Whilst I was there I heard a mother tell her son "these are all ancient aboriginal carvings, you know", to which he replied flatly, "no, mum, the aliens did it. Everyone knows that." #mysterysolved .

From Book to Cook #2: The Food and Cooking of Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania - Lithuanian Borscht
------------------------------------------------------------
The Remake and The Original, side by side and together at last. -------------------------------------------------------------
20g butter; 1 tbsp caraway seeds; 800g peeled and grated beetroot; 1 small red cabbage, shredded; 1 large cooking apple; 30ml vinegar [any, I used apple cider]; 2 carrots, grated; 1 bay leaf; 2 garlic cloves; 2lt chicken stock; S&P to taste; 3 eggs, hard-boiled; Sour cream [for serving].
------------------------------------------------------------
The book offers 3 stages for the actual cooking. These are:
1) Heat butter in a heavy pan. Add seeds and beetroot. Stir to coat with butter and add S&P as desired
2) Add cabbage and apple. Combine. Add vinegar, carrots, bay leaf garlic and then chicken stock. Cover and simmer for 2 hours. Add liquid if yours reduces too much in this time. (I needed to top up after about an hour...).
3) Serve it up and dress with sliced egg and sour cream (the latter should be offered as an accompaniment, rather than a requirement). **NB: Boil the eggs at any stage - last minute if you want them hot or right at the start if you want them chilled. I cooked mine early but left the salmon until the very end.
