So I decided to make glazed carrots. They tasted good but they looked ugly. In fact, these were the ugliest carrots ever.
Sad, Ugly Carrots
What made them so darned UGLY? I didn’t think I put too much cornstarch in the glaze, but maybe I did. That, plus the fact that I was making do with canned carrots, and they kind of mushed up.
BUT THEY TASTED REALLY REALLY GOOD!!! That’s the important thing, right? RIGHT??
I squeezed an orange into the pan, added some vegan margarine, brown sugar and cinnamon, then the carrots. When all was hot, I mixed some cornstarch into cold water and stirred it in.
Maybe it was too much cornstarch, or maybe I cooked it too long. Whatever, those poor sad carrots were not attractive. Still, as my grandfather used to say, “It don’t hurt the eatin’ of it.”
A WRITING PROMPT FOR YOU: Write something with the color orange in it.
