Carrot bacon – All vitamins, minerals, and carrot taste removed
6) To remove any vitamins, minerals, and/or lingering taste of carrot, deep-fry in 375-degree canola oil for a minute and a half.
That’s my favorite line of the steps it takes to make these. I rarely fry anything because I hate messing with hot oil and too much grease doesn’t leave me feeling so well.
We all know that if it’s fried, it’ll get eaten, though. It’s the American way….totally unpatriotic to avoid fried foods, too. I’m sure of this.
So why not fry carrots, too? Once dark brown, I doubt they resemble anything even close to carrots taste-wise, but I think calling them bacon is a stretch, hehe.
Cutting boards shaped like states – Patriotic or useless?
AHeirloom was featured on the Kitchn quite a while back and since then, I’ve seen them in a few other places. They sell lots of different state-shaped cutting boards for 38 bucks. They’re cool, but I can’t help but wonder how useful they really are.
I like that they’ve been portrayed as serving platters instead, but then, is it really worth it just to serve on? Where would one store something like this anyway? Won’t exactly stack nicely, huh?
On a side note, I do love the detailing on some of the boards. Can you see the heart in the lower right of the state above? You can place it where your own city is!
When you get hungry, everything looks like food.
The title of this post makes me think of the old Looney Toons cartoons. When they get really hungry, everything starts looking like food, or when they’re out in the desert and they start seeing mirages. Mmmm.
For some of us, though, we don’t even have to be hungry to start seeing foods in other objects. The above is a great example of some cats that look like delicious croissants.
And people wonder why my kitty cries if you get anywhere near her….
