Today my wife had the idea to make a pot of soup, so dutifully I trodded down to the local supermarket to pick up carrots and celery. The soup was fine, really hit the spot as we’re recovering from flu.
An hour after supper, wandering through the kitchen I saw 1/2 carrot laying on the counter, leftover from the soup prep and decided to give it a nibble.
Well, I just about spit it out – cardboard texture, no flavor, lifeless! Since June I’ve been eating nothing but garden fresh Danvers carrots from my raised bed gardens and I really got quite used to them. They were so sugary they were like candy. If you ate two it was as filling as an entire meal. Alas, they’re all eaten up now and we’re back to using the market. :(
It’s only November 12 and I’m already longing for spring so I can eat fresh vegetables again….
I'll do my best to answer it.
