When I buy those different colored carrots at the grocery store,
they're always bland and woody. There probably is less demand for
them and they sit longer.

I've given up and just buy orange carrots.

I used to get mine at Trader Joe's - they could be a bit nasty, and
often the bag was at least half full of the cheaper orange ones.
Lately, I've been buying them at Lidl - few, if any orange ones, and
always fresh. Lidl has rapid turnover, probably helped by their low prices.

Ah! Ok! One of the ideas was a lightly breaded then oven roasted? It
seemed something you would like. You could pair it with roasted thin
eggplant (no bitter taste and more delicate so peeling and seeding not
needed) brushed with a little olive oil then salt and pepper. Then
fennel bulb or delicata squash if can find it at this season. Add a
simple white fish that you like with perhaps lemon pepper seasoning?

This will set you up with a few lunches during the work week.

I'm jealous! Our Lidl and Aldi's have nothing like that. Just tons of
premade stuff.

Our Aldi has better fresh produce than the regular, more expensive
supermarkets. Less choice but better.

One of the ideas I posited is something I've made a couple of times
before. Parboil the full head then pat it with seasoned buttered
breadcrumbs and bake until fork tender.

Roasted florets were suggested; I'd not bread it at all and would likely
cut the head into about 1" slices and brush with some olive oil and
roast it.

When it comes to eggplant I like it peeled, sliced, dredged in seasoned
flour, then an egg wash and again in flour, pan fried in a little bit of
oil until golden brown.

I don't take anything involving fish to the office. I've always found
it is best in a setting with a shared breakroom not to bring fish or
seafood.

I just got more seeds. This time among the pickings are blue lake
green beans and wax beans, so I'll have green and yellow (grin).

I have parsley, basil and oregano going now along with Cubanelle
peppers (very mild), red bell peppers. Waiting for me to get to them
are long thin eggplant, chocolate bell peppers, san marzano tomatoes, 3
seedling roma tomatoes, lettuce, chives, lavendar, marigolds (rats hate
them), and assorted other stuff like seed potatoes.

Today is glorious. Sunny, 73F so far.

It is spring like here, but I am not moving anything outside for a while
yet. It is not even mid March and we can expect snow at this time of year.

There are also some very pretty - and tasty! - purple beans available.
Don't overcook them, though, as they lose their colour and change to a
dullish dark green.

Like Jill, I'm well south of course. Another year with no snow but
that's normal for here.

We had very little snow here this year. I only had to clean the driveway
once. It has been exceptionally mild here. Our big concern now is that
the tree buds are going to be tricked into coming out early or that the
fruit trees will blossom prematurely and then die off when the normal
weather returns.

No chance of snow here. Hasn't happened in 6 years.

Snow was a fact of life for my first 73 years. Gone the last five.
Looks pretty, but I don't miss the work of moving it and driving in it.

It's a nice day today. We're expecting lows in the 20s early next week.
I might get some pruning done soon.

True! I aim for finished product colors though. My usual dinner has 3
or 4 colors going on. Quirky but harmless (grin).

Most pretty things are not worth the effort and work required to maintain them.

You only realize this when you are too old to exert all the effort. Live
your last years without the stress required to maintain some beauty image.

We vary a fair amount. We are what is called 'the snow line'. I'd say
we get at least a dusting every 4 years. For us, 6 inches is a big
snow. I saw 1 at 2ft and that was a true mess. Usual is 3 inches.

The snow we got 6 years ago was the first for this area in 20 years. It
snowed and iced in Memphis and I sure don't miss having to drive in it.
They were ill equipped to deal with it; no such thing as a snow plow and
spreading "sand" on icy streets is pretty darn useless.
