Pot Luck of the Draw

My office is hosting its very own Thanksgiving celebration.  I found out on the same day that KB's office will be doing the same.  He lovingly volunteered me to make a "vegetable/salad" for the day without my knowledge.  I think I'll be making something easy, non-refrigerated/non-heated, and delish.

My crazy grandmother's marinated carrots...

from TasteofHome.com
We always had these at any family gatherings, Christmas, Thanksgiving, etc.  They are really good.  I would post the recipe, but the crazy grandmother hand wrote it.  Due to this, no exact measurements are given, a random story about how once she fed these to some dog they had and it almost died takes up about half the page, and there is a large grease stain at the top (she made a note to tell me that she was eating a peanut butter cracker at the time).  Anyway, I've found a pretty similar one at Taste of Home.  It probably won't have as much character or be nearly as entertaining as mine though.
