OK George, go ahead, rub it in!
We've got white stuff out in our garden right now too but, it ain't
cauliflower.
We made curried mixed pickles back in September (one of my favourite
pickles) and they included cauliflower. Used PC with them. Opened a
couple of the jars over the holiday season and they were very nice and
crisp. Because the cauliflower is the favourite part of the favourite
pickles we put up a few jars of all cauliflower. Haven't tried them
yet but, I'm sure they'll be just great as well.
Current temperature here is -12ºC (about 10ºF) with the possibility of
15cm of snow.
We had a frittata for breakfast this morning as well but, I'm afraid
the pepper probably came from Holland rather than our garden.
Homemade whole wheat toast with homemade black raspberry jelly topped
it all off.
