today we made carrot cake

from scratch. why? you may ask. well, you may remember that my husband is in med school and i just quit my job...that makes our primary income student loans. so we are on WIC (a government funded program that stands for women infant children), which provides formula for your baby or if you breastfeed like me, you get vouchers for food. it is pretty much the most inefficient and disorganized program i have ever been a part of, but we get pretty much all our milk, peanut butter, eggs, cheese, juice, cereal, and CARROTs for free. thus i am thankful. however, there is no way i can cook or eat all the carrots and eggs, so i've been trying to think of ways to use them. i'm going to hard boil a bunch of eggs (if i can figure it out)and put them in our salads. today marit and i grated more than a pound of carrots and a little of my knuckle(anyone else remember that ramoma book in which her sister shredded her knuckles into their carrot salad?). it was fun and is now delicious. the recipe is here if you like. we documented!
