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).
Scrub and peel the carrots. Cut the broccoli florets off, then cut off the top 1 to 2 inches of stem. Cut the florets and stems into bite-size pieces and slice the carrots any way you like. Cooking times are approximate, depending on how crunchy you want the cooked broccoli and carrots.
