Today is "National Carrot Cake Day" which sounds really delicious to me.  I have baked a couple of carrot cakes in my life because it's one of my daughter's two favorites cakes.  I learned, after the first one, that carrot cakes are much easier to make if you buy the carrots already shredded.  I do like carrots and carrot shortcuts.  When I was a baby I liked and ate strained carrots so much that my skin took on a yellowish hue. My mother, with her year of nurses training, thought I was jaundiced and rushed me off to the doctor who told her to cut back on the carrots.  These days I still eat a lot of carrots, and I still take the easy way.  I'm not so lazy that I buy strained carrots but I do buy the bags of scraped, cleaned baby carrots,  Yes, I know they aren't really baby carrots (in most cases) just chopped up grown up carrots, but I also know that if I had to peel each carrot, I wouldn't eat nearly so many and I do think they are good for me. but enough about carrots.  My daughter's other favorite cake is Tiramisu and she requested it for one birthday a few years back.  After I read the recipe and figured out how much the ingredients would cost me, I bought a Tiramisu cake from Halls.  It was delicious.  Suddenly I'm getting hungry.  Good night.
