So a co-worker, Thank You Jim, has his garden going. He took an area and sprinkled some carrots seeds. So yesterday he comes to me and asks if I would like some carrots because they are coming up like weeds. Well when he said it would translate to WWWEEEEEDSS!!! The largest one was about 2 inches long and about as wide as my pinky finger.
I said of course and so this morning he went out and picked weeds.
I was thrilled. So lopped the tops off and blanched them. They were then shocked in ice water and removed to drain on a paper towel. Into a pan with butter some salt and pepper.
After a couple of minutes we had a side dish I could not stop eating. There is NOTHING better than fresh home grown veggies.
