Oh, my, gosh!! There are some super crazy things you learn only by experience. I learned one of these super crazy things today.  I love multicolored vegetables, but then again, I love lots and lots of color — so it’s only natural that like to see lots of color on my dinner plate.

For dinner, I baked chicken breasts with potatoes. The vegetable I prepared to go with this was sliced multicolored carrots: orange, white, and purple. There were some leftovers, so I put everything in the same bowl in the refrigerator knowing it would make a great lunch in a day or two.

Today when I went to warm them for lunch I quickly learned that purple carrots “bleed”! I learned this because all of the carrots were purple, the potatoes were purple, and the chicken was blue. I warmed them up anyway and ate them and they were good.  I suppose that there is an analogy in there, like: never judge a lunch by its color or pull out the purple carrots before you put leftovers in the refrigerator.

That’s my story for today.
