Best way to eat cauliflower -- steam until very very tender (some would say mooshy), then throw in a food processor with milk/cream/butter/sour cream, and perhaps some garlic or your seasoning of choice, and process until very creamy. With the seasoning, it's virtually indistinguishable from mashed (actually, whipped) potatoes.

And quite tasty.

You could probably eat rocks and woodshavings prepared like that.

I'm just saying, if a person feels the need to take in the nutrients/etc. that might be exclusive to cauliflower, and dislikes any other way to prepare it, turn it into fauxtatoes.

Okay, that is hysterical!

I broke my eyeglass frames by rolling over on them in my sleep. The lenses are fine. I have glued them together.

Also, my wallet is not in my purse (although I am pretty sure it is at home

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

I am not harshin' on the recipe! It sounds fantastic.

Absolutely not.

The best day would have all of those things happen and then pre-lame Spike show up and make you do naughty things.

I need to bring something to a party.

Spinach dip! It's stirring, not cooking.

"It's what I do."

Trudy, I make a bean dip that goes something like this:

1 can refried beans
1 8-oz (or larger) container sour cream
1 jar salsa

Layer in large serving dish in that order. You can add other layers as you see fit, such as: shredded cheese; chopped onions; possibly some jalapenos; whatever.

But those basic 3 ingredients seems to make most partygoers happy.

Serve with tortilla chips, preferably the scoop kind. Will keep well in the fridge before a party.

Also makes a good meal.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

Matt's version is probably better, but I just follow the recipe on the back of the Knorr vegetable soup box. My only trick is thawing the spinach in a sieve, so that it's drier. I usually serve it with veggies, including the ubiquitous mini-carrots.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I've gotten raves off the Knorr's spinach dip, even without the fancy Matt ingredients. I think putting anything into a bread bowl makes it fancy.

For my office party, I think I'm going to bring this thing my mom makes with layered cream cheese (or neufchatel), pesto, sundried tomatoes, maybe tapenade? and crackers. It's delish and easy. More expensive than other options, probably.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

During WWII, the British would mix in sawdust with the meat in their sausages, due to all the food shortages they suffered from.

That's pretty much what I'm going for.
