future dinner pondering

A few weeks ago I was drunk at a friend's house and ate a delicious salad of organic carrot and baked pumpkin seed. I know there were more things in it than this recipe stipulates but I was drinking duty free and didn't pay enough attention. I found this recipe online and I might attempt it for dinner tomorrow and pad it out with some rocket/watercress mix. That is if the vortex of Friday night after work drinks doesn't suck me in.

carrot and pumpkin seed salad

pumpkin seeds
1lb carrots
soy sauce
juice of half lemon
3 tbsp olive oil
salt and pepper

1. Scatter a handful of pumpkin seeds on a baking tray in a single layer and toast in a moderate oven for about ten minutes or until they just start to brown and taste good. A splash of soy sauce can help.

2. Shave the carrots into a bowl. Mix in the seeds and dress to taste with the juice of half a lemon, salt and pepper and about 3 tbsp of olive oil.

I wonder if any of the following will happen if I eat a giant bowl of this orange goodness...

a) My night vision improves.
b) Feel like hopping around in the grass.
c) Slowly turn tangerine like the spring racing girls on The Age website.

Most likely it will be...

d) I'm still hungry and eat a second dinner of four slices of vegemite toast.

I will still try!
