try it, you'll like it.

we went to a fun outdoor potluck last night, and i made an old standby that is good and easy for almost any crowd - it reminded me that i like posting recipes here from time to time.

::shredded carrot salad::

2 pounds carrots (roughly 10-12 carrots), shredded {i used the grating attachment on my cuisinart}
2-4 Tbsp. minced fresh ginger, to taste
1 bunch scallions, chopped
4 Tbsp sesame oil
4 Tbsp rice wine vinegar
2 cloves garlic, chopped
4 Tbsp sesame seeds, lightly toasted in the oven ahead of time
coarse salt and pepper to taste

mix it all together and serve - it's easy like sunday morning!  it seems to grow more of a bite the longer it marinates, but it is something my kids like, and a lot of the grown ups at the party seemed to like it, too.

here you can see 25 kids playing tug of war at the party, and one responsible adult making sure they did it safely whilst the rest of the parents chatted amongst themselves at the top of the hill. not really, but you know. nicole's good like that.

I'm so making this. Thanks - it sounds tasty. I hope you've recovered from the birthday party. You are a saint.
