The bottom of my foot. I am having an eczema outbreak right now and it makes the skin peel off of my feet and hands. ---

Garlic, yesterday morning. (Assuming smashing it with a measuring cup and sorting out the good bits from the wrappy bits counts.) ---

For dinner on Saturday night, the things I peeled included beets, shallots, onions, garlic, a carrot, a satsuma orange, and the silverskin from a rabbit. I’m not sure which one I peeled last so I’m listing them all for safety. 😉 ---

a chicken. I roasted one last Saturday, and I peeled the skin off to cut it up and disjoint it. I keep the nice crispy skin to eat, and ditch the rubbery parts. ---

Carrots have a peel? I’ve always eaten them without processing. I do scrub them with my veggie brush, but have never peeled one. I shall have to try it and see what the difference is. My answer would be banana. It’s one of the few fruits or veggies (that I eat with any regularity) that has an inedible peel. ---

Garlic. **Patty** , you don’t _have_ to peel carrots as long as you scrub them very well, and I think they are much tastier unpeeled. However, I peel them if I’m eating them raw, and even when I’m cooking them in places like Egypt and Indonesia - just an added measure of food safety. Fortunately I have a compost pile so the waste doesn’t bother me. ---

3 cloves of garlic about an hour ago, to make a delicious bowl of pesto. To smother some pesto tortellini with. I had a pesto craving. ---
