At a loss for ideas, this week; so were reprising Root Veggies!

Hmmmmm, we have a “yarn” issue at my house.
But, back to cooking. I don’t really eat carrots that much, and I don’t sing along with the music over the sound system at the store, unless it is something good like some nice Bob Marley “No Woman, No Cry” I heard the other day at WalMart. Dang, there I go again ...
Pinto beans. With lots of bacon. Or some nice brisket, or ribs, or even some japaleno hamburgers. If I’m cooking that is what you will eat :)
As an inveterate fan of the tv show Chopped, I would say: when all else fails, Carrot Bread Pudding! No recipe, of course, but it’s the go-to dessert for the 3rd round of Chopped. One of the judges once threw up her hands in despair when served Scotch Bonnet Bread Pudding.
We are having breakfast for supper tonight. I bottled 35 quarts of Nanking cherry juice on Friday and made some syrup with the bottles that didn’t seal (2). I need some pancakes to try it on.
Dirty beans and rice? With hamburger??
We buy carrots by the sack load. One refrigerator just for carrots.
We should call the ranch “The Happy Horse Ranch”, or something like that.
If you want to make a horse REALLY happy: Peaches!
I once had a horse stuck to me for an hour, after his first taste of a peach ;-)

When I was a kid and asked my mom for food to take on a backyard campout or Nazi raid, she wouldn’t give me a box of Hershery bars or Twinkles, I’d get carrots. So maybe others like me are suffering from Childhood Carotic Substitution Syndrome.
Carrot Pate
1 tbls. olive oil
1 small onion finely chopped
3 medium sized carrots sliced (1/2 lb)
1/4 cup water
1/4 cup orange juice
1 tbls. grated orange rind
1/2 tsp.black pepper
1/8 tsp salt
1/8 tsp. curry powder
2 tbls. mayo
1 tsp. coarse grained prepared mustard
In skillet, heat oil, add onion til tender, add carrots, water, oj, rind, pepper, salt, and curry powder. Cover for 6 - 8 minutes. Uncover, cook on higher heat until liquid has evaporated. Turn off heat. Let cool. Put in food processor until smooth. Add mayo and mustard and process some more. Put in small bowl and refrigerate.
Now for my own touch. I loved the flavor but didn't care for it with crackers so I came up with the idea of serving it with snow pea pods. I would turn the bowl over in the center of a large plate and put the pea pods around it like petals on a flower. Looks gorgeous for a party and tastes unbelievable. Enjoy!
She should have given you some jerky to go along with those carrots ;-)
That’s interesting!
(Thanks for your tribute to Johnny.)
Did make it with Ghost/Scorpion peppers once, she could not eat it. Go figure.
That’s been my tagline since he passed. I guess I’ll change it someday..
He’s remembered fondly by many of us. He was one of the first personal contacts I had on FR, and I’ll always remember him.

Really happy to see this week’s subject. I just spent last week dealing with 30 lbs of carrots, I’ve frozen and dehydrated, still have 4-5 pounds in the fridge.
All recipes are coveted. :)
Radishes grow quickly, someone grew them on SSN 666.
Man, after months of no fresh veg, they were the bomb with me!
