Holy Carrots

Okay... so I know carrots are good for your eyes but they are not fun to peel, cut down and grate on a Mandolin. First... they were the biggest carrots in the entire world, I am talking HUGE. And i've used a Mandolin several times before and it wasn't scary at all, it involved a guard and pototae. Chef Wilson likes to live on the edge and doesn't supply the guard...ha. But after getting use to the motion and almost giving Carol (thanks for your help friend) several mini heat attacks, I stil have all of my fingers and the carrots were perfect for our "carrot salad". We made a delish baked alaska and I am no longer upset with these carrots, however my hands were ORANGE for hours afterwards.
