You know what I miss? those precut carrot sticks they used to sell at the grocery store. Those were the only ones fit for eat’n with hot wings and dip’n in ranch dressing. Baby carrots just don’t even compare.
I’ve never had a carrot. I was thinking about trying them, but orange food makes me nervous. Who knows, though? I just vegemite get around to it one of these days.
Peel and slice some raw carrots and put them in a wide pan, like a frying pan. Pour in just enough ginger ale to cover them. Add some butter, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer, covered, for five minutes. Remove lid and boil until liquid is almost boiled away, stirring occasionally. Optionally, toss with chili powder or parsley. Serve and enjoy!
Just ahd a flashback to a friend who put sliced carrots into a frying pan with mounds of really sweet fresh Vidalia onions. She cooked them until they were just beginning to brighten, and then poured orange juice over the whole thing. Reduced it a bit, and then dropped it on our plates while the veggies were still crisp in the center.
