~Lavender was busy in her garden as usual when she noticed a huge carrot growing. She pulled at the part jutting out of the ground and saw a huge orange carrot. Ordinarly this wouldn't seem all that strange as Lavender pulled out lots of orange carrots.https://www.fairyabc.com/forum.php?mod=image&aid=19391&size=300x300&key=0ebbf6c2123d47c6&nocache=yes&type=fixnonehttps://cdndata.fairyabc.com/attachment/album/202110/17/045521dtlzzskittsettvz.png~But this particular one she pulled out was almost as big as she was! To make things weirder, the next carrot she pulled out...

~I wonder how I wound up with a purple carrot in my garden? Lavender thought. Maybe I can give it to a Baker or a Cook to work with?
~Lavender flew off to see what to do with this huge purple carrot.

~"Did you grow this?" asked Foxglove, pointing to the carrot.
~Lavender nodded.
~"Are you sure you didn't just colour it purple?" asked Magnolia.
~Lavender shook her head "No."
~"Which is it, no, you didn't colour it or no, you aren't sure?"~"Grooooooooow," Lavender drawled.~Kyra came to take a look at the carrot, then had onyx take a look. Even Daylily, who happened to be riding a very large tan rabbit, came to see the carrot and sure enough, Daylily let the huge rabbit taste it; the carrot tasted just as delicious as a healthy orange carrot.~"It's safe," said Daylily before cutting off the part that was nibbled and feeding it to the huge rabbit, who thumped one of her feet happily. "We can cook with it."~"And I know just what to do with this carrot!" said Kyra. "Let's--"~"Bake it!"~"Cook it!"~Kyra and Onyx announced in respective unison.~"I say this carrot is better baked into a pastry!" said Kyra.~"Well, I say it'll make a better soup!" argued Onyx.~"Pastry!"~"Soup!"~On and on Kyra and Onyx argued until Heidi came by, split the purple carrot in half easily and gave Kyra and Onyx a piece apiece.~"Problem solved," said Heidi before she flew back to her tasks.~"Oh, that reminds me!" exclaimed Daylily exclaimed. "Bridgit here said there was a Dancer that was sad because everyone seemed to forget his Arrival Anniversary. We can have both a carrot-based cake and a carrot-based soup there!"~"But won't he be put off by a purple carrot cake and a purple carrot soup?" asked Magnolia.~"I'm sure he'll love it," said Foxglove. "I know I would."~"Right, because you just love the colour purple."~Onto the Cooking of the Purple Carrot.https://www.fairyabc.com/static/image/hrline/16.gif
~Kyra made a huge cake with that purple carrot piece she had whiole Onyx made purple carrot soup. Carrot cakes and soups often came orange, so it was a pretty interesting experience. Lavender even managed to grow a few more purple carrots in her garden, choosing the best to make into decorative garnishes. Afterwards, it was time to see how this purple carrot dining experience would pan out.https://www.fairyabc.com/static/image/hrline/32.gif
I'm stopping here for now because this ties in with another thread, one I didn't write. Happy reading for today.
