If the baby carrot loses flavor, I wonder if it loses some nutritional quality as well? Generally, each time you tamper with food from the natural state, you lose nutrition.
Hey, if you get 'em on sale, and you really like them, by all means - enjoy. I just like the taste of "real" carrots better. I know baby carrots are real carrots, but they are a sweeter variety without much taste. They do, however, have a wonderfully satisfying crunch.
i always wondered why i generally loved carrots, cooked or shredded raw in my salads, but i couldn't stand the taste of baby carrots, which tasted like cardboard to me.
Yeah, I'm guilty of buying baby carrots all the time. But it is nice sometimes, for a change, to buy a real carrot, peel it and then eat it whole while pretending to be Bugs Bunny. :)
Yeah. I know they are just whittled down versions of real carrots. I know they are more expensive. But I still bought some last week. In my defense, they were on sale. I have some in my lunchbox today. I will guiltily eat them.
Thanks. That took so many revisions before I finally got it to a readable length! The dorm dynamics were much elaborated upon until I realized just how boring they were. :)
Will - My boyfriend, although allowed to watch TV, was forced to play the piano (I played as a kid for something like a month before quitting). I think he sort of resented it, but the result is that now, I can hear any clip of classical music and he can identify it. As someone who is only coming to appreciate classical works, this is a blessing, because I can immediately find what I like and buy it on iTunes.
I would love to hear more about the "dorm dynamics" in the future. =)
Since we're sharing our private memories of our mothers, here's one that comes to mind:
My mom hated television. When I was a kid, she would leave me in front of the Onkyo record player and make me listen to music instead. God I hated her for that. While kids at school were talking about the latest cartoons and puppet shows, I'm sitting there humming Gershwin and Mozart. That got me beat up a lot, by the way.
Thinking back, I think I owe a lot of my people skills to my mom. As a kid who didn't watch any TV, I was forced to relate to my classmates in a whole different way. We didn't have prefab conversations about what was on TV last night. Instead, I was forced to come up with new ideas to engage people, to find out what they are interested in, and to become a good listener capable of digging out nuggets of interest in the most boring of conversations.
These might be in the full list, but I'd like to add:
If you are cooking collard greens, first chop them up and soak them in a water, vinegar, and salt bath. I use a 1:1 ratio for the water and vinegar, and put a lot of salt in. This pulls some of the bitterness out of the leaves before cooking.
Similarly, you can use the same recipe (but more diluted... say 1:4 vinegar:water?) to soak spinach leaves in before cooking. If you don't buy bagged spinach (I don't) this lossens up and helps removes dirt and sand, better than simply washing in normal water.
A couple of weeks ago, the show Dateline on NBC produced a show showing how anyone can produce an infomercal and sell anything. I couldn't find the show myself but if anyone happens to watch Dateline, keep your eyes peeled.
In the episode, Dateline created a moisturizer pill which was only filled with Nesquick and successfully marketed it. It really goes to show that you shouldn't trust infomercials.

Where is the hard drive at as well as the CD/DVD those abviously are not in the tank.

I buy baby carrots all of the time. I should probably be less lazy, and buy the normal carrots instead. :)
I can't see where they put the CD/DVD drives, but they must be there somewhere.
I never buy baby carrots. Figured I could cut them up myself. Incidentally, I also posted an entry about carrots on my blog today.

That's the tattoo I'm going to get to cover up the one I have right now. Instead of giving everyone fingerguns, I can just expose my belly.
Wow, I just really disturbed myself with that imagery.
do you need, oh troubled one?

I'm doing a project on vinegar, can you give me more information on vinegar? HELP!!

Their time would have been better spent if he had just sanded that guy's face off. What a bunch of dummies.
I tried clicking on JFK on the reservations page, and for me the fares come up ONE WAY, not roundtrip.
These things are hidious. Being Tevas though they are probably very comfortable. I'm just not brave enough....
There is Haagen-Dazs on Guam
Yes they are UGGGGG-LY
First time I've heard of LTU. I'll definitely be checking them out! Thanks!
HAha...now that's amusing. Keep walkin'! :)
