I hate carrots.

I will sometimes eat carrots to make my mother happy. I know that they are good for me especially since bad eyes run in my family and yet the fact remains that I hate carrots. So in an effort to eat something other than green vegetables, I decided that I would have to find a way to eat some kind of orange vegetable.

Carrot Fries are a good way to eat carrots. When these came out of the oven, I commented to Paul on how good they looked. Paul looked at the fries and said, "That's 'cause they look like seasoned fries." I started to get excited by this observation, "Maybe they'll taste like seasoned fries!" Well they don't taste like seasoned fries but they don't really taste like carrots either. So I still don't like carrots but I can eat Carrot Fries to get some orange vegetable in me.

Carrot Fries

3 Carrots, cut into fry shape
1 Tbl Oil
Salt
Pepper

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Coat the Carrot sticks in the Oil, Salt, and Pepper. Put the Carrots in a pan and try to keep them from touching each other. Bake for 30 minutes.

We ate ours with some ketchup to further disguise the carrot flavor.

carrot fries. sounds icky. Now maybe if you put cinnamon and sugar on them instead of salt and pepper. That would be yummy.

Can you tell i'm bored at work?
