I probably will add more salt the next time (didn't put lots in the water to cook them), but all in all, very good. -
This recipe was made on 3/5/10 for my son's birthday and the " Special Meals 2010 " event in the Cooking Photos Forum. After cooking the carrots, all the water was drained then the butter and brown sugar was added. We all thought that the taste was just o.k.. Thank you for taking the time to post, and " Keep Smiling :) " -
This is how I make my carrots but I have never left any carrot liquid in the pan. It is one of our fave ways to have carrots Made for Pac Fall 2009

I'm a 37 year-old American living in Georgia. I'm a flight attendant. I still prefer "stewardess".

I'm not home as often as I would like to be; but on my days off, you can nearly always find me happily buried in the kitchen.
I am engaged to a wonderful man, who is an exceptional artist. Here's a taste:

Gives a whole new meaning to the thought of having rabbit, doesn't it?
Well, he's a big fan of eating, so I decided to marry him on October 27th, 2008.

We love to watch zombie movies late at night, eat banana pancakes for breakfast, and watch the sunset on the deck while I have a vodka. My darling likes to call this "Playing Russian Spy Flight Attendant".

My prize possessions include my collection of flight attendant wings, my great grandmother's antique star sapphire ring, my Audrey Hepburn Swarovski clutch, and my zombie doll Lenore.
