One of the remaining items from my last grocery spree weeks ago is a bag of colorful carrots. I had planned on roasting them with halibut fish. While I did roast the fish, somehow there’s still the bagful of carrots. I decided to make use of them by baking carrot cake.
One large carrot less and too much carrot cake later, I realize I was just putting off real work, like writing cover letters.
While wondering what to do with the carrots, I thought of The Runaway Bunny by Margaret Wise Brown. It’s a children’s book about a bunny who wants to run away. He tells his mother all the ways he will run away, and she tells him how she will run after him. In the end (spoiler alert) he says he might as well stay. She says “Have a carrot.”
You might remember Goodnight Moon, also by Margaret Wise Brown, which has a painting of a cow jumping over the moon on its cover. It’s a classic of children’s literature and fitting mention for tonight’s full moon: Goodnight moon, good night here, and good day elsewhere.
What a sweet post to find, my friend. You join bakers all across the world taking refuge in the kitchen. It’s a safe space where you can create and later enjoy the booty .. waking the senses.
A couple of my favorite books. I believe we have them on a bookshelf somewhere.
Loved seeing you two on Wednesday♥️
