Purple Carrots, Pink Rutabaga, & the Fruit Bats

This is my first attempt to showcase multi-taste integration through this self-indulgent web platform. For me, cooking is a creative outlet, and in order for the creative juices to flow, I have to pair the food with the proper ambiance: music and lighting. These sensory escapades are a part of my daily life, and to archive them seems a natural outlet, so please enjoy more holistic food experiences to come...

I purchased these lovely purple carrots and pink rutabaga at the market, tossed with olive oil and roasted them with garlic, red onion. I served the roasted vegetables over raw kale with olive oil, some fresh white cheese and balsamic dressing.

To accompany this farmers market bounty, the Fruit Bats folksy, dreamy serenading seemed quite fitting. The earthiness to their sound paired well with the way the carrots crisped up and crunched with the raw kale.
