Sick Beats

This recipe is in honor of DJ Rude Obega and DJ Turn Up

I used to have this friend who loved to cook. He thought he was a chef.

He was also a very popular DJ.

He has some really sick beets. Unfortunately, when anybody would eat them, they would vomit.

He thought his Beat Salad was amazing. That’s why I said I used to have a friend who was a DJ.
