Preparation
    When the carrots are almost done, add raisins and sugar, along with cinnamon, allspice, nutmeg and ginger, with some salt.
    When the raisins are tender; cool.
    Add enough flour to make a slightly stiff cake batter, along with baking powder and soda to the batch. Add lots of nuts if you have enough, but walnuts are best.
    Cook in a slow oven in greased and floured loaf pans for at least 1 hour. If you can't tell when it is done, don't start.
    You shouldn't be cookin'.
    No fat, no eggs, no milk, no vanilla and no shortening. Wrap and freeze surplus.
