Cecily: My grandfather suggested carrots as a cure for insomnia, and it works for me.

Arnaud: I will try them tonight!

Cecily: To improve their efficacy, talk to the carrots while you’re cooking them, or sing. I believe they like folk.

Arnaud: They will have rock, but not The Smashing Pumpkins. That would offend them.

Cecily: I beg to differ. I think the carrots should be at war with the pumpkins. Pumpkins make a better purée and you’d better believe they make a better velouté.
