Of cauliflower?

 

It's a good feeling when the young 'uns develop a passion for something that's also good for them. One of our granddaughters insists on me making Brussels sprouts when she's here for a visit. Another is a fiend for kale, chard and any other kind of cooked greens. She loves to help me pick them from my garden (conveniently situated at their home out in the country).

Maybe I am old but the "eat it is good for you" was never in my house I was sick of beef every night and really enjoyed the side veggies best. Maybe they had white sauce in them (Einbren a light German roux)  but those are my  nostalgic favorites.  And grandma only used red leaf lettuce unfortunately doused in a watery vinegar, sugar, touch of oil dressing that mooshed the tender stuff. I finally convinced her to just let me dress my own more lightly. I was thrilled when I read Edna B Lewis's recount of their family dressing of just vinegar, sugar, salt, water on fresh picked tender lettuces.

Same old pizza. Different background.

 You're right @Kim Shook, It looks like it is floating.

We were suppose to have dinner tonight with our neighbours Barb and Clif. I had promised Clif that I would make Prawn Etouffee.

This has been a favourite of Moe's for many years, and became Clif's favourite the first time I made it for him.

Because we are all trying to practice "social distancing" I delivered dinner to their door.

It helps that they live next door.

some oddly good corn that Mr. Kim picked up at Publix (he doesn’t pay much attention to the whole “in season” thing.  If he sees it and wants it, he buys it.):

 

I think our husbands are brothers. :D

Sorting thru' the bottom fridge drawer = eggplant, zucchini,  bell pepper, sugar snap peas, mushrooms, celery, carrot; added slices of beef and supper was served with leftover coconut basmati rice.

My sons Dinner tonight. Small Curry (Chicken Tikka Masala, Jar paste) BIG rice. He had another full cup after, plain white rice is his favourite thing 🤦‍♀️

Pappadums done in the microwave because I am a Heathen (and also because its still, for now, a school night).

Mine will look similar later. Without the rice, cos he ate it.

A cross between Schupfnudeln and Alpen magrone.

 

Potato dumpling, with a Mornay sauce made of Swiss cheeses and some blue, fried mushroom bits with smoked paprika, caramelized onions.

Served with sour cream, sauteed apples (I dislike apple sauce) and strong ale.

This looks awesome - would you mind sharing the general process/technique?  I have some shrimp out and will be making rice tonight - also just took fish stock out of the freezer....

 

Love a good ol' freezer organization/cleanout (though only got 66% done so far)

Looks comforting. I am SO with you on the applesauce dislike.

@scamhi 

 

nice . esp the Chablis

 

if I only had two wines , a white and a red

 

and could afford them , and let them age

 

The white would be a Chablis  " from a good year "   

 

possibly aged for a bit in The Cellar   ( AKA basement )

 

and a Zinfandel , also from a good year  , really aged in the basement.

 

I did accomplish the Zin years ago , w a price of no more than $ 10 / bottle

 

Ridge , Ravenswood , Kenwood , possibly some Clos du Val   ( a FR style Zin )

 

and the last bottles  of Zin , some time ago

 

were   20 and 22 years old.
