A day in the life of a carrot!

Hey Everyone,

On Wednesday Kristin and I drove into the USA and got donations for a produce place in El Paso and then Thursday we drove over to Las Cruses to get donations from a food bank there. Well in Las Cruses I also got the chance to meet both sets of her grandparents. It was really fun to get to meet them and have Olive Garden J.

  Rivers of Mercy was blessed with a TON of donations from both places so Kristin and I have been busy chopping, bagging, and freezing veggies.  

Here is the adventure of the carrots J

Our Carrot arrives in a rather large and heavy bag with his fellow carrots

After being removed from his former home he is then washed....

and prepared to be peeled

once his gross outer layer is removed....

and is discarded...

our carrot, depending on his size, rejoins 2-4 of his fellow carrots and is prepared to be chopped

the awesome huge knife does his job well

once chopped our carrot is once again reunited with he fellow carrots, from the world of the rather large heavy bag, to be boiled, cooled, bagged, frozen, and at a later time consumed.

The big picture

One orange hand, two hours later, tons of bags of carrots to be frozen and later consumed.....all in a days work ;)
