Carrots, Carrots, and more Carrots

Just this last weekend the weirdest thing happened in Phoenix, AZ...it rained all day on Saturday, the temperatures dropped to high 60's and we all were wearing a sweater; I think our heater even kicked on. It was nice and cool to make something in the oven so I roasted some carrots of all colors and some yellow beets that I bought at the farmers market to go alongside a yellow chicken curry Tom prepared for dinner. It was delicious! The sweetness of the carrots and the beets complemented the curry very well. It was our first time having yellow beets and unlike the red one's these seem milder in sweetness and another plus was that they did not die the entire dish purple; one of my least favorite things about beets. Today I was on facebook and there was a link from the downtown Phoenix farmer's market sharing a story http://blogs.phoenixnewtimes.com/bella/2011/04/in_season_carrots.php about recipes made with carrots. I thought it was a great little feature story and thought I would pass it along here.

Cheers and Enjoy!
