happy carrot day

Since April 4th is International Carrot Day I dedicate this post to the humble, delicious and jampacked with awesomeness vegetable.

I eat carrots practically every day and I mostly enjoy them raw and grated, but grilled, roasted, soup, stew, pasta, wok, carrots in any shape is bliss as far as I'm concerned. And I don't think you have to suffer from the carrot defect to be like I...

What's your favourite carrot recipe?

Happy Carrot Day!

happy carrot day 2015

In celebration of this awesome root veggie - ie the best veggie on the planet! According to someone with the carrot defect - with its very own day today, International Carrot Day April 4, we had carrot pasta gratin for dinner. Lovely as usual. When I originally made it - recipe here - it was vegetarian, since then Oatly iMat fraiche has entered the world and you do not have to rely on dairy anymore. Thank goodness.

And I'm sure even if you can't find Oatly products in your food store there are other excellent non-dairy options.

Go forth and feast, 
carrot treat yourself!

littlest ågot turns two

Yesterday the littlest cat of the furry bunch turned two years old. Since her birthday coincided with Carrot Day I decided to let the latter have its own day in peace.

Ågot got a special fancy dinner with the furry rest and I don't think she much care about the blogging bit and the date. Like all cats she masters the practise of mindfullness, not to mention food over blogging. And sleeping over birthdays. And so forth.

Here you can read about her first week - when she was still a boy...

Three weeks old

Five weeks old

Eight weeks old

Eleven weeks old

One year old

Happy two years old,
littlest blue one,
and many more to come!

happy carrot day!

Despite carrots being my favourite vegetable and me *suffering* from the carrot defect I didn't know April 4th is Carrot Day! I will from now on treasure April 4th even more.

Sadly I haven't had the opportunity to feast on carrots galore, but I've had a couple of glasses with freshly made juice - carrots, pears and oranges.

And I have an awesome carrot soap.

Hope your Carrot Day has been lovely
and filled with carrot delight!
