Re: Cauliflower with tumeric

[Guest guest]

I have to laugh! This reminded me:

A couple years ago, the DH and I went to Yellowstone for our vacation, and the last night we were there, having dinner in the only restaurant available (that wasn't serving greasy fried foods), I saw mashed cauliflower on the menu. It was offered as a low-carb alternative to mashed potatoes (which I wouldn't have ordered in any case), so I shrugged and thought, "Okay - why not?"

So I ordered it with my dinner.

YE GODS!!!

In the first place, they must have used an entire container of salt on my serving. But frankly, I'm surprised I got as far as tasting it.

It smelled EXACTLY like what people say cauliflower and broccoli and beans do to their gastric functions. Very strongly like that.

Getting that one forkful past my nose and into my mouth was quite the challenge.

I gave up. I know when I'm bested....

I’ve had mashed cauliflower (at Ruby

Tuesdays) and made it myself…they were both very tasty, and a very

healthy alternative to mashed potatoes.

But I don’t like turmeric, so make

it without.

Huh. Maybe there was something "off" with their cauliflower. I seriously could NOT keep putting any of it in my mouth!

But I like cauliflower, usually, so maybe I'll try to make some myself and get a better result. I agree it's a better side dish than spuds.

Spuds...what is wrong with GOOD quality spuds? Not old grocery store toxically sprayed spuds loaded with margarine. But real, fresh, organically grown Yukon Golds, or fingerlings? Or reds? They are fantastic and good for you.

I love making dehydrated chips from red potatoes! So yummy!! A little apple cider vinegar, some sea salt. I'm there!!

Peace, love, laughter

Yep, have made my own in my dehydrator too. I soak mine for a few hours to remove a lot of the starch before dehydrating. If I don't they taste like raw potatos, not potato chips.
