I am a big advocate for eating your colors and these sweeties were super-charged with color. I kept buying them until they were gone. I roasted them in the oven with other root vegetables. I grated them raw on salads. I fried slices in hot peanut oil and then salted them to make crisp on the outside, tender on the inside, treats.

Remember the stock tank full of potato plants last year? Well, here it is now:
As you can see, I have reverted back to a variation on my original blog format. I was approached by a woman at an art opening here in town recently. "Are you, by any chance, the 'hungry farm girl'?" she asked. Why yes, I said. I didn't know you were a follower. She explained that, while she doesn't cook (not sure how she obtains nourishment?;-) she loves to read my posts and look at the pictures. At the end of our conversation she gently added that she missed the old format. "It was so beautiful!" I also received a comment from an old friend who follows my blog from Colorado. He too preferred the old format. My uncle liked the white background of the new format I tried, so I've incorporated that into this new version. Hope y'all like it!
Happy Valentine's Day tomorrow. If you are looking for a decadent chocolate cake that happens to be gluten-free, this one rocks: flourless chocolate cake
Enjoy!

Thanks for the snow pictures!! They make me want to be there!
ReplyDeleteGood luck at the long board races. Will be thinking about you on Saturday. Give our greetings to Alan.
Allen had to cancel because of a work obligation, so he won't be joining us for the longboard races. But we will be there with some other friends and Craig will race!
DeleteThanks for this format. I loved those carrots too.

Oh, I do cook a bit: steam on my wood stove.
Use my solar oven when I can.
Since my electric stove is in the garage where it is cold, I make do simply.
Thanks for the comment! Simple is good. I've seen your sun oven out in the summer time. Using our sun oven is one (among many) of my favorite parts of summer here.
