This week, we're taking a bit of a break in a way and "time stamping" seven posts... which have a special meaning to us.

On the recommendation of a friend, we watched the entire six part series (and the effective "pilot" episode,) of a kind of cross between a documentary and reality TV program from Britain called "The Supersizers Go..." which, when explained sounds kinda silly... but it really, Really, REALLY wasn't!

It was a lot of fun and had us literally laughing out loud in many spots.

The premise is two people, restaurant critic Giles Coren and comedian Sue Perkins spend one week eating nothing but the diet of a specific time period... and adopting it's dress and some of that time's traditions as well.

They start off with a medical exam to see the "before" situation... and then end with another test to see how the diet and time spent in that "era" affected their health.

Honestly, it was a really great series!

Anyway, as we're taking a seven day rest, we're posting a recipe from each era covered by Sue and Giles... for interests sake... and although fun, DO think twice about trying it out! We can't guarantee ANYTHING about these recipes!!!

Recipe retrieved via Google from Recipe Source...

1 1/2 c Grated carrots
1/2 ts Lemon flavoring
3 1/2 c Sugar
1/2 c Sweetened condensed milk
1/2 c Water

Cook carrots, sugar, milk, and water, to soft ball stage (234 - 238 F). Remove from fire, add flavoring, and cool to room temperature. Beat until creamy. Pour into buttered pan, pat down to 1 inch depth, and when firm cut in squares. The grain is likely to be a little coarse due to the grated carrots.
