I know how to perk up dinner. I’ll rejigger the carrots. I knew there had to be a reason why I bought those heritage variants. Their little fat purple presence will liven up the plate nestled among their more refined slender cousins. Peasants and aristocrats, you might say. Actually Penelope will be here for dinner so there might be a few “interesting” comments about little fat purple ones! Stay tuned, folks!

Genetic modifications all the way back then. Freaky. I have seen white carrots, but not sure I have ever seen purple ones.

Jeanie said...

I eat the tiny carrots every day…I should be one big orange carrot or orange since I eat 3 oranges per day. It’s my fix:). I have seen purple carrots but they don’t entice me…lol. I do like to rejigger drawers and closets which reminds me I must rejigger my closet space for the winter.

Heh. Now our dog's a different story. Tomatoes, apples, anything that passes as food.

I was already on Earth when carrots were purple. Purple carrots were superior to orange carrots. The purple carrots were very nutritious, yet they tasted like chocolate. I guess my word is reorganize.

Love,
Janie
