Today post will be the very very short, because, I must confess, too much is going on and I feel distracted.
Small tragédie, sad anniversaries, private sorrows seem to dissolve in the onslaught reports from Syria. Between the winter sorrows, we try to organize our lifes, prepare Christmas, continue previously abandoned projects, start some things new. It is all a little surreal, a little unreal and highly emotional.
It is difficult to focus on writing about a carrot when so much is going on.
So, please, forgive brevity of today’s post. Because it will be about the carrot.
Today some side dishes, some comfort foods. Carrot with ginger, brussel sprouts with peanut butter. You can, of course, use these ideas separately, or you can (like me) bring them together, you can make the third side dish.
I admit that I loved mixing these tastes, although Almighty prefered them alone. And why there is no dumplings, because dumplings would be amazing.
But… Imade some dumplings with carrot too. Will you want me to post them?
