Hit Or Miss But Orange Through And Through

I love this cookbook. The ex-husband did his part and smoked enough Marlboros to get me this cookbook. It's one of the two nice things he did for me.


It has a section for cooking with what you might have on hand. I had some carrots that needed cooking so I turned to this recipe and decided to give it a whirl. I've prepared many of these recipes and each one is better than the last.


It's one of my favorite cookbooks. The recipes are awesome but the photographs and design are a true feast for the eyes.


Well, here are the very orange carrot cookies displayed on a very orange tablecloth.


Carrot cookies are not like carrot cake.
They are very, very bad.

That orange photo! Did they shine an orange light on the table too? I'm surprised the plate isn't orange as well.

Oh, haha....yeah,um...those are my cookies and my orange tablecloth and my teal plate. I was trying to tone it down with the plate. The first three photos are from the cookbook but that last one is from my orange and glowing kitchen.

Now, I am imagining lots of arm-scratching on your part, P-smudge. (That's your Hip Hop name, by the way)

How come your cookies don't look like the ones in the book? And don't pull the professional photographer and lighting excuse because I'm not buying it...

Shut up, Melody! They are little globs of orangey happy love! It's not my fault they suck. Marlboro printed a faulty recipe! They photoshopped their picture. My cookies are the truth...The Truth!

Disgusting little globs of orangey happy love? Well, why didn't you say so?

I thought it was obvious. I bet if we could scratch and sniff that last photo it would smell like that orange disinfectant they use. You know the one? YEah, that's how they taste, too. Like carrot disinfectant.

Save me one? I need something to kill my appetite.

LOL @ Melodious.

I need an appetite killer too.

I was anti smoking until Marlboro came up with that recipe book.

Maybe I'll pick up the habit?

Too funny! Does the Marlboro man endorse those cookies too? He's got a cig in one hand and a cookie in the other.
