Whenever I have to deal with carrots (peeling, grating, chopping…anything that ensures my hands will be fairly covered in their juices) and am left to marvel at my Oompa Loompa palms, I’m reminded of the story of how Susan Dey ate so many carrots that her skin turned orange, creating problems during filming of The Partridge Family.
Another coworker is moving on to bigger and better things, and somehow I determined that his lovely parting box o’ cupcakes should be of the carrot variety. How is it that I’ve had Vegan Cupcakes Take Over the World for years, but always bypassed that particular recipe? Time to change that!
Just look at that dense, raisin-y, carrot-y goodness…mmm…..
These turned out really well for a first attempt, and gave us an answer to that ubiquitous question: “What’s your idea of a hot Saturday night?”
“Standing in the kitchen with the oven on during a heat wave.”
Go ahead – tell me I’m wrong! 🙂
