A Word on Wraps

Firstly, what's the deal with them being so expensive? I bought the cheapest pack of wraps I could find at Woolworths the other day. $5 for a pack of eight wholemeal wraps. I think they were Mission brand. Seriously? $5 for eight wraps? I could buy 1.5 loaves of bread with $5 and make many, many sandwiches instead.

Secondly, I have mastered the art of wrapping. I used to find it so difficult. Things would be spilling all over the place (out the sides, out the ends, down my pants). Forget about it holding any degree of structural integrity after taking a bite. But now, my friends, I am a master of the wrap. No longer a Padawan; I am a Jedi master of the wrap. Hand me a wrap and see magic happen. The trick? Keep it tight. Seriously, compress the filling as tight as you can when you wrap and it comes out looking like one of those store-bought wraps where you wonder if they have some sort of wrapping machine because, fuck me, it looks perfect.

Thirdly, I love cooked carrots. I mean, I like raw carrot sticks too but cooked carrots trump raw carrot any day. My favourite way is to microwave/steam them (just to speed up the process) then pan fry them with curry powder, salt and pepper. It is incredibly random but so fast and delicious. It's mostly because I love curry with carrots in them so this is the next best thing (that doesn't take three hours to cook). Today, I shredded carrots then pan fried them with curry powder, salt and pepper. They were delicious in my wrap and far better than if I had just put raw shredded carrot on my wrap.

We also have no lettuce so I've been eating one huge carrot a day.
