French-Style Carrot Salad with Greek Yogurt

20201107, Night, night, la nuit. Because of the presence or absence of sunlight, human hormone secretion apparently shifts subtly between day and night — which is said to make us lean more rational during the day and more emotional at night. There's even a saying, 'never send a letter written at night,' and it's true: reading back something you wrote late at night or before dawn, after you've slept and woken up, is almost always cringe-inducing. People call this 'the magic of the night.' (Night, Namu Wiki) I once read, in a tweet by the late professor Hwang Hyun-san, that the French proverb 'La nuit porte conseil' means 'the night brings good counsel' — in other words, 'sleep on it and the answer will come to you.' So how's your morning today? Have you surrendered to the 'magic of the night' and are cringing at your own texts, or is it a refreshing morning where 'some kind of answer came to you'? Or neither? Wash the prettiest #carrot in the world and grate it into thin shreds, then let it marinate briefly in a dressing of olive oil, white wine vinegar, and whole-grain mustard. Top with chopped #parsley, #greekyogurt, pepper, and #pinkpepper. #Frenchstylecarrotsalad — also great stuffed into #pitabread.
