Wow. I swear, I thought I had seen all the purple vegetables the good earth had to offer. In fact, I’d swear I’ve seen them all in my kitchen: eggplant, beets, cabbage, grapes, plums… what else is purple?
Anyway, we got two new ones in our hippie grocery delivery today: Purple potatoes and purple carrots, which are actually a mottled kind of mix of purple and regular carrot color. The purple potatoes are actually very dark. Don’t yet know if they taste like anything other than potatoes–not that that’s such a horrible thing. The carrots, on the other hand, taste just exactly like… carrots. Anti-climactic, to be sure. Especially with all that splashy color. Seriously inspiring if I were going to be dyeing yarn, but sort of a waste for a root vegetable in my opinion.
My love for my Mac has continued to deepen. Today it is because I have successfully hooked up my second monitor and productivity is roaring.
My personal unit test results today were 61%. That’s 15/23 passed, two skipped, and the rest failed. Most of the ones I failed, though, were because I didn’t set the bar until last night when it would have been too late to drink all 32 oz of water or go back to work to complete my 8 hour day. Of course, lots of room for improvement.
How disappointing, purple carrots just seem like they should taste special. Hopefully the potatos will be better.
Isn’t there a purple onion, too?
I have had purple carrots! Got them at the farmers market. I’ve seen purple potatoes, too, but never eaten any.
