“I love to cut up a carrot or two and throw them in a foil packet with some olive oil and ginger. Salt to taste, seal up the packet and bake until you can smell it. Usually 20-30 minutes but I’ve left them for 45 before and they just get more caramelized. They end up sweet and savory and I can eat a whole bowl of it with nothing else added. Maybe some fresh ground pepper but not always. The ginger adds a great *something* to it.”

“Simple toast. Preferably with decent bread, at least Italian or sourdough. Toast it until it’s really toasted not just warm bread and slather with Irish butter. Toast is one of my top 5 favorite foods.”
