DÃ©jÃ  Vu is a common intuitive experience that has happened to many of us. The expression is derived from the French, meaning already seen.. When it occurs, it seems to spark our memory of a place we have already been, a person we have already seen, or an act we have already done. It is a signal to pay special attention to what is taking place, perhaps to receive a specific lesson in a certain area or complete what is not yet finished.
How to Cook Carrots on the Stove. Cook 1 pound carrots, covered, in a small amount of boiling salted water until crisp-tender: 1  7 to 9 minutes for 1/4-inch slices.
Bring about an inch of water to a boil in the bottom of a pot into which your steamer basket or insert fits. Put trimmed carrots in the steamer basket, set over the boiling water, cover, and steam until tender to the bite, again about 5 for crisp-tender and up to to 10 minutes for full carrots. Larger pieces of carrot will need more time, so cut carrots accordingly.
