Oh my gosh...


I posted on Facebook the other day a picture of marinated carrots that I had just made from an old recipe from a cookbook that I did for a give away during one of the conventions we held at our home.  I had made this for years, but forgot about it due to the enormous supply of recipes on the Internet.  I have to say this is wonderful.  Today I took a jar of it out of the fridge and a head of butter lettuce that needed using and put marinated carrots over those soft buttery leaves and went nuts.  It was so good.  (Just standing at the fridge forking a few in a dish is good too.) Once you start eating them (better if left in fridge for 3 or more days) you just can't help yourself.  It is also a beautiful dish.  I asked Andy to get cauliflower and other vegetables at the store today and I am going to make different mixtures for the delicious dressing that they swim in for as long as they last and then the dressing is added to something else--never throw it away! I add the warm carrots to the dressing and they sop up the flavor even better. So: the recipe

2 pounds of carrots sliced or diced or however, you would like
1 can tomato soup undiluted
1 cup of oil--any oil but I wanted to use up my avocado oil and it worked well.  Olive oil would be good, lemon oil...
3/4 cup vinegar (I used rice wine)
1 tablespoon dried mustard (Didn't have any so I used jalapeno mustard--two squirts)
1 tablespoon salt
1 teaspoon pepper
dash Worcestershire sauce
Sliced, diced green pepper, sliced onions as many as you like

Cook carrots until crisp-tender, drain
Blend the soup, oil, vinegar, sugar, mustard, salt, pepper, worcestershire in blender (I just stirred these together and did not use a blender.) Put in the drained hot carrots and stir.  This keeps in the refrigerator for weeks...if they last.

To the doctor

We are off to the doctor to have Andy checked out since he has had two falls.  We thought to wait until his appointment on the 20th, but aft...
