OMG; this is my new all time favorite for carrots. The flavors blend so well with the sweet carrots and so easy to prepare. Sorry the photo is so blurry, next time I make them (which I hope will be soon) I'll try to get a better one. Thanks so much for posting. -
Evelyn, you've got a real keeper here. The combination of the whiskey and pepper with the carrots is divine. This dish is meant for company! -
I used jack daniels and would suggest you do too -
Delicious recipe. I was short on maple syrup and didn't want to run to the store for more, so I used half maple syrup, half baking syrup. Turned out wonderfully.

OK, here goes. I live in Athens, Greece. I moved out here many, many years ago from Ottawa, Canada - so I am blessed in having two wonderful heritages!
I suffer from compulsive obsessive behaviour with regard to food and my psychiatrist thought it would be a good idea to find a 'society' where many have the same problem and try to find a cure.
So far, I've copied a couple of thousand recipes from this site and my psychiatrist has thrown the towel in and refuses to answer the phone when I call.
What did I do wrong?
Got 3 kids that keep me on the go - 10 and under at this point (2008) - I may not get round to updating this for a few years, so you'll have to do your own maths.
I teach English full-time and Greek Cookery part-time. I would like to make the cooking part of it full-time and the English Grammar part of it part-time.
That's all for now.
