Another Carrot Story

We planted a row of carrots for winter use. I am having tons of fun with them! Next year, we're planting 2 rows!




I dug up a carrot that was this big!



I used it in 3 recipes, and we had part of it in our lunches all week. Slices, not sticks. It was sweet and crunchy, not at all bitter and woody like I was warned.

It's not so fun, digging through snow for our food. My hands get so cold they burn. But it is way worth it.

    That is one honkin' big carrot.
    Sounds like you're feeding your soul as well as your body - that sense of satisfaction.

    Good grief, that's a huge carrot! I wondered how it would taste, being so big...

    i made steamed carrots tonight.
    no, nothing as grand as your carrot, but you gave me the idea. i like to eat them plain, no butter, no spices. so i get the full flavor.
