either I was severely lied to or I have done something severely wrong because I was told I'd need to simmer my root vegetables for 35-50 minutes and it's been SIX. HOURS. and my carrots are still crunchy.
(Before you say anything, please note they're cut in small cubes, getting smaller all the time)
