HOUSTON DAILY JOURNAL Don’t underestimate the carrot Carrots are such a beautiful and won derful vegetable. I think that they do not get the attention they deserve. They are good for snacks with dips, as part of a main meal, and in great desserts. They even make a nice table arrangement. We always grew carrots in our garden and mamma would put them in soups or cook them in butter and sugar, which she called can died carrots. Carrots are no longer a summertime vegetable because they are available year round in the stores and are not very expensive. They are also very good for us. Next time you are shop ping, pick up a big bag of beautiful carrots and have some fun in the kitchen.

His days begin with a single espresso, which he tells me is as obligatory there as it is in Italy, and then he is tasting wines from various Portugese regions and finding many pleasant surprises. I was in northeast Oklahoma this past weekend, tasting Cab’s, Rieslings, Merlotand more from Grand Wine County’s Brian Goodell The Wine Guy Morris News Service first annual fall festival. More on that in the weeks to come, but I will say that I would have picked Portugal had anyone given me the choice. See WINE, page 6C i—B=g!!ll!k | , : " For An Elegant Wedding Register With Us!
