Carrots

GREAT TRUTHS THAT LITTLE CHILDREN HAVE LEARNED:

The best place to be when you're sad is Grandma's lap.

My mother NEVER grew nor cooked Carrots

I never thought of it, so I never asked her.  Now I am wondering how many folks raised in the south ate carrots?  I think one reason was, you did not cook the greens. Of course they raised potatoes and you didn’t eat the greens.

I don’t know why, but carrots are one of my favorite snacks. I am eating a couple now.  I have started dipping the end in Ranch dressing for the first time in my life. I sorta like it. It does add calories however.

Can you eat too many carrots?  I just used two BIG ones in the Stew beef I fixed for supper.  Sherry said son Jack turned ‘orange’ from too much carrot juice.  Now you gotta squeeze a carrot very hard to get juice my friend. Imma thinking a glass of carrot juice would require squeezing ten pounds of carrots.

Now Turnips?  I love them raw or cooked.  Mama grew them because of the greens I am sure.  She could fix some turnips and greens.

We never had cauliflower or broccoli. I would bet my mama had never heard of it.  They do grow both in Georgia now, but not near Toccoa. (LOL)

Our greens were turnip, Collards and cabbage. My mama could fix some REAL collards.  LOL

I just had a slice of cheese and crackers. Since there were a couple (?) crackers left and a little Ranch Dressing left, what the hey, crackers and ranch! (Not as good as cheese and crackers but….. you do have to nibble the cracker to fit the curvature of the little bowl!)

So this was a snack blog. You do what you have to do in this world. We all snack, RIGHT?
