So cozy.<br /><br />My favorite way to have carrots is to saute some onion until soft, then put in whole baby carrots, a sprig of rosemary,cover with stock and braise until very soft.

I can't stomach either of them, but I LOVE cooked fresh carrots! Especially after they've been browned in the oven with pot roast! miam miam :)<br />JudySeine Judeet (Judith)https://www.blogger.com/profile/07407353544376132484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18071407.post-74174820319386595692009-05-29T12:46:10.042+02:002009-05-29T12:46:10.042+02:00Bonjour Isabelle, yes, Saint-Aignan is about an ho...Bonjour Isabelle, yes, Saint-Aignan is about an hour north of Preuilly-sur-Claise by car. There is much to see and do in the area. The restaurant, L'Image, is very good, in my opinion. It's the kind of food I like.

I think in English we would say something like "eating carrots gives you a sweet disposition" — but we don't have any such saying in English, as far as I know, and Americans aren't even that fond of carrots.
