Lucky Carrots

Are double carrots lucky like four leaf clovers are lucky?

“That would be cool if you could eat a good food with a bad food and the good food would cover for the bad food when it got to your stomach. Like you could eat a carrot with an onion ring and they would travel down to your stomach, then they would get there, and the carrot would say, It's cool, he's with me.”
Mitch Hedberg (American Comedian, 1968-2005)

  3. yay, if only! then the orange juice I drank yesterday would cancel out those doughnuts from the bakery.

    I've cooked a lot of carrots and I don't think I've ever seen a double on. Hope it is "lucky" for you

  10. I know what you mean... like when you go to a cafe and order a skinny cappuccino & sweeten it with sweetener then order yourself a piece of new york baked cheesecake...we all know that the skinny cap & the sweetener negate the cheesecake...Don't they???? tee!hee!hee!
    As for the carrot...I reckon anything that comes in double has gotta be good luck!

  11. I don't think I've ever had one of those carrots, but I guess when you buy baby carrots in a bag it's a little harder to find!

  12. Then I suppose your last two posts (carrots and tomatoes) balance out two of the sugary desserts for which you've given us recipes in the past! I like the way you think!

  13. Ah, that is a great quote and my sentiments exactly.;)
    Not sure about the luck of a double carrot, but I guess we make our won luck, so why not.;))

  17. So the banana I ate would definitely cancel out the double chocolate chip cookies?
    Oh yeah...you are ON to something!

  18. Like, a banana would cancel out the effects of my Snicker's bar? Sounds good to me?

  19. Katherine ~ haha! That reminds me of a girl in my dorm at college..she always ate a box of doughnuts with a diet coke.

  20. Cool carrot! I've seen a double yoke egg, but never a double carrot.
    I like the idea of a positive taking away the negative.
    BTW...I really like your Audrey Hepburn quote and picture. She is a fascinating lady.

  21. Be nice if a spoon full of green beans wiped out a bag of doritos! LOL!

  22. Cat ~ I get double carrots in my garden all the time. It has nothing to do with luck...just planting the seeds too close together! :)

  24. intriguing concept. i never heard of mitch, so just looked him up - i think he could have benefited from eating more carrots and maybe even onion rings and dabbling less in the things that ended up killing him.

    ah, poor mitch - he could have used some of those double carrots!

  25. Mutant carrots. Hmmm. No idea, sorry to say. I would avoid it though but then again, I avoid a lot of carrots, even carrot cake for the most part.
