Anticipating dinner

I've been a little veggie deprived of late thanks to the whole frozen north east thing but my recent trip to Russo's stalked me up with some favs. Simmering in the crock at home are some leeks, beets, carrots, and short rib in a korean bbq sauce. I've always figured short ribs to be better the next day so it'll hit the fridge when I get home for easy de-fatting the next day. Then I generally puree the veggies into the sauce (cooked down if there's too much) and top with the short ribs. Of course this whole process ends up with ultimate deliciousness but ruins the beauty of the veggies so I thought I'd give them their moment in the sun.
