I had bought lots of vegetables to make minestrone tonight but then I came across this video:
So now I have got my tools out and am making my own orchestra. One can always cook the vegetables afterwards (and maybe the soup will taste better after you have played some Haydn or Mozart – that’s just an idea. I am not sure who the tastiest musicians are yet).

And, if you only have one carrot in the fridge, here is a clarinet you can make:
