Super Carrots

Fat carrots have more flavor. At least, the ones they sell at our market!

Last night we made dinner at our place for the first time since last Wednesday. With constant visits from friends in and out of the house, home has turned more into a home base of sorts in between expeditions around town. Great for touring! Not so great for the vegetables. Those poor, poor ever-lonely vegetables. So we decided to cook 'em up.

Now I'm not the one to really complain about the flavor of carrots. I kinda like 'em! Reiko on the other hand, not so much. And I'm tellin' ya, these carrots were strong. The soup, a light cabbage and daikon soup suddenly became a carrot soup. The veggie stir fry became carrot's delight.

The believed culprit, though, was the size of carrot: a damn big ultraflavorenriched beta carotene bomb.
