Do you follow @RealCarrotFacts on Twitter? It is, perhaps, one of the oddest and amusing joke accounts out here. Here are a few gems:
“Sometime if someone talks to you but you dont want to talk to him you can close your eyes and pretend to be a carrot”
“Life is a carrot then you die”
“If you keep a carrot in your shoe everywhere you go, then you [sic] never alone”Image may be NSFW.

Quality, quality stuff.
I think the folks behind @RealCarrotFacts would dig this recipe. It’s carrot-based. And also quite delicious.

I love a good salad recipe in the summer, or any time of year, really. But a super simple salad that’s easily adaptable? Yeah, that’s the stuff of summer dreams.
I tempered cumin and paprika in hot oil and stirred in a dash of garlic and, later, parsley. But you could easily take it in a sweeter direction with cinnamon and raisins. Or stir in a creamy mixture or lemon and tahini. Delicious.
Here’s a real carrot fact for you: carrots make an amazing salad base. Image may be NSFW.
