APAD(ish) #3: Carrots

[nonelvis]

Purple and orange ones from the CSA, which is replenishing our supply faster than we can eat them. These four ended up in the carrot cake currently in my oven, and more will turn into a mustard-dill carrot side dish to be served with meatloaf ... which will probably also have a carrot in it. And even with that, I bet I still have a pound of the suckers left before we get the next batch on Wednesday.

Those are gorgeous. I suggest carrot cake. With the purple ones, that could be really interesting.

ETA: You ... said ... carrot ... cake ... already. Don't mind me.

The carrot cake is delicious, but the purple carrot shreds are actually a little weird in it, only because they're dark enough to look like bits of nuts, which I didn't add to the cake! I keep looking at the dark shreds and expecting them to be crunchy!

Hmm. Maybe a bit of food coloring next time? Or beet juice, if you don't want to go artificial.

Or I could just add walnuts ;)
