A Cacophony of Carrots

Yes, we looked it up. "Cacophony" translated means a loud, confusing, wailing sound . Carrots do not make a loud, confusing or wailing sound, unless you count the crunching they make while you are chewing them. How loud would it be if 30 people ate carrots in the same room at the same time? That could be a cacophony for sure.  I also believe if you substitute "24 pounds" for the word "sound" in the definition you might understand how confusing it is to be in possession of 24 pounds of baby carrots. Wailing is not out of the question either, as I must quickly come up with uses for Daucus Carota  before it's too late and I cry. Well, I won't really cry, but I might whine. Carrots!

DAY 1:  FRUIT SALAD Cut & enjoy!                                 Tip 2 : How do you cut a pineapple? Easy!
