Toxic Black Mold. Toxic black mold (Stachybotrys chartarum) is a dangerous mold. This fungus grows in dark, moist areas of the home and is particularly common in humid climates. Recently flooded houses are known to harbor unseen black mold growth inside walls and floors, according to RTK Environmental Group.
How to Prepare Carrots. 1  Work with 1 pound of fresh carrots at a time. 2  Wash, trim, and peel or scrub, if necessary. 3  Cut standard-size carrots into 1/4-inch-thick slices or into strips (1 pound makes about 2-1/2 cups slices or strips).
To cook your vegetables: Put the potatoes and carrots into a large pan â you may need to use two â of salted, boiling water on a high heat and bring back to the boil. Allow to boil for 5 minutes, then add the parsnips and cook for another 4 minutes. Drain in a colander and allow to steam dry. Take out the carrots and parsnips and put to one side.
