Have you ever cooked white carrots? I saw them last week at the Farmer's Market and thought they looked so beautiful. Patty suggested this simple preparation, which sounded heavenly: grill them, slather them with melted butter, mint leaves and salt and pepper.
What are your favorite summer veggie sides? I'm kind of obsessed with sauteed corn, a la Ina Garten.

what white carrots?wow, i didn't now they exicted at all, but i have tasted purple ones though
Beautiful! I am obsessed with succotash's this summer. Basically, any fresh veggies and leafy greens, sauteed in oil with lots of olive oil, salt, and garlic. Especially good when there is corn thrown in!
I'm catching up on my blog reading today; yesterday's fig tort is inspired and I can't wait for my fig trees to ripen so I can make it with mission figs!
i've never worn but they look wearable.
I'm jealous! We've been getting the dreggs of veggies here in AZ all season. Seriously pathetic stuff. I've been roasting everything lately to a caramelized perfection. Turnips, broccoli, carrots, parsnips. Just toss with olive oil, S&P, garlic and rosemary - bake. Super yummy!
Very beautiful daikon you got. Can i share a simple yummy recipe with you?! Put daikon + pork ribs + Shiitake mushroom + water in a pot, and let it slow cook for 2 hours, then add a little salt if you like. It is very simple, but I love it so much that I want to share with you.
I would wear too
yum! Love roasted sweet corn and anything with cucumber in summer. My summertime obsession is water infused with cucumber and honeydew melon. So simple and refreshing!
I have never seen white carrots!
according to wikipedia, white carrots are also very high in vitamin e:
"One particular variety lacks the usual orange pigment from carotenes, owing its white colour to a recessive gene for tocopherol (Vitamin E)[citation needed]. Derived from Daucus carota L. and patented (US patent #6,437,222) at the University of Wisconsin–Madison[citation needed], the variety is intended to supplement the dietary intake of Vitamin E.[14"
Yu-um!
oh wow. I've never seen or eaten a white carrot before. I am curious as to what it tastes like.
I also love corn. I eat so much corn during the summer that by fall, I am so sick of it.
