It's Saturday afternoon and it's dark and rainy. blah! It's Fall here, the days are getting shorter and the temperatures have really fallen this past week, which makes me so sad. Why can't it just stay summer until we leave?
In light of the rainy day, we went to see a movie this afternoon. We saw the completely-inappropriate-for-a-nine-year-old movie Sucker Punch. Really should have done my research on that one before going to see it. Yeesh, we had to answer questions about lobotomies on our drive home from the movie. On the plus side, we went to my favourite movie theater, the Ritz, where they make an excellent skinny latte for afternoon showings, and serve alcohol for evening showings. I can tell you based on experience that a Harry Potter movie + wine makes it just that much better.
Now, I'm off to make some carrot soup. We get a ton of carrots in our organic veggie box every week, and we can't keep up. We're just not big carrot eaters. So, every few weeks or so we end up with a massive lot of carrots in our fridge and we have to find ways to consume them all. It'll be carrot soup tonight, carrot muffins tomorrow and we may have to beg our fave cafe down the street to juice any remaining carrots for us. Any good carrot recipes? Send them on!

Thanks anonymous, but do you have any tried and true carrot recipes?
Here is one we like: IDIYAPPAM
225g rice stick noodles
80ml (1/3 cup) vegetable oil
50g cashew nuts
1/2 onion chopped
150g fresh or frozen peas
10 curry leaves
2 carrots grated
2 leeks finely shredded
1 red capsicum
2 tablespoons tomato ketchup
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 teaspoon sea salt
3 hard boiled eggs peeled and cut into wedges
Heat 1 tablespoon of oil and gently brown cashews remove and set aside. Add the onion to the pan and stir fry until golden, remove and set aside. Meanwhile cook peas in boiling water until tender. Drain and keep warm. Heat remaining oil and briefly fry the curry leaves, then add carrots, leek and capsicum and stir for 1 minute. Add the ketchup soy sauce salt and when vegies are cooked add noodles which have been soaking in hot water. Pile onto platter and garnish with peas, cashews, fried onion and egg
Thanks anonymous, whoever you are. Your idiyappam recipe looks very tasty. I'm going to give it a try this weekend.
