Saw this rerun on America's Test Kitchen last night:

https://www.americastestkitchen.com/...iflower-gratin

<gasp> He uses a steamer basket to steam the cauliflower florets.

This looks really tasty and doesn't require any sort of heavy cream or a
mornay sauce. You make the sauce from the pureed <another gasp>
cauliflower stems.

I bought a head of cauliflower yesterday. I'm thinking I'll try this
rather than roasting the head of cauliflower.

Jill, what was so odd that you needed to gasp because he steamed his
florets in a basket? Oh and the sauce? I don't understand that at all. It
is a very odd thing to do in US??

I'm <gasping> because Julie and her pal Bruce constantly snark at me for
*steaming* vegetables. As if that's a strange thing to do. No, it's
not uncommon. I use my steamer basket frequently. They act like it's
the only way I ever cook vegetables.

The second gasp was in fun because Gary recently railed against pureed
soups. The pureed sauce for this gratin almost looks like cauliflower
soup.

Sounds like a delicious recipe to me. I have all the ingredients,
including a wedge of Parmesan for grating and the Panko breadcrumbs for
the crispy topping. Butter, of course! It sounded and looks like a
very tasty recipe so I'll be giving it a try.

Yes, it means grated parmesan cheese. It sounds like a very nice
cauliflower gratin recipe. Something new to try! I'm not using 4
pounds of cauliflower, though. Mine is small so I'll use a smaller
baking dish.

I doubt I'll bother cutting the cauliflower florets the way he did (into
"steaks" and then trim them). I don't actually care if the florets are
totally uniform. Other than that, it doesn't seem like much extra work.
I like the fact that it doesn't contain cream and you don't have to
make a cheese sauce. Not that I'm looking for a lower fat version, mind
you.

I don't know why she thinks snarking about me steaming vegetables is
somehow insulting. Of course she has a rather limited cooking
repertoire. Lots and lots of recipes involve steaming.

I don't suppose she realizes it but when she cooks brown rice for the
gardener she's actually steaming it. DOH!

If she didn't have me killfiled, I'd ask her who
performed the IQ test and how long it has been.

I tested extremely high when I was very young, but
now I'm probably no more than "really smart".

She took the canine version, so every point counts as 7. This is the
woman who claimed to be a writer but did not no the meaning of the word
"ignorant" and didn't think that a writer should have to know that. She
later tried to hide that under the carpet by denying that she was a
writer or that she had ever said that she was a writer.

;-) I am in the same boat. I was a poor performer in school. I probably
would have been diagnosed as attention deficit if I had gone to school a
couple decades later. They also thought I had a hearing deficit because
I was not listening in class. I was a late bloomer. I barely made it
into university, but then I blossomed and did very well there.

Furthermore, the minimum accepted score on the Stanford€“Binet for

I am not discounting the possibility that her claim is based on one of
those click bait FaceBook IQ tests where they suck you in to try a test
claiming that 90% of people cannot answer more than 4 of the questions.

I like to use my own system of intelligence: Smart people talk about ideas and concepts, average people talk about "things", stupid people talk about other people.

This also works for rating emotional intelligence. Some of the posters here have the emotional intelligence of a 12 year old. It's quite an interesting thing to witness.

I like to discuss the concept of "other people".

As you wish. Does anybody know what her bra size was? I'll bet it was a fairly decent size. She had Rachel Ray beaver teeth - ugh! At least RR is perky. I'll have to give you that.

You've seen those, too?? I've not seen them on FB but have seen them on the
internet; "clickbait."

Doubtful. It never looked like much in those dresses of the 20's, 30's and
40's.

No, Eleanor did not have pretty choppers but her false teeth looked better.

You're absolutely right about her rack. I guess it's because she reminds me of my granny. Funny how the mind plays tricks like that.

Yep. I fell for them a few times. I'd do the test and think that only
someone at the far left of the bell curve would not ace it.

Not verified by my quick google search. I first heard the expression in
the sixties, so it was before that. I'd love to actually know who said
it first. Talking any one of the three all day would be boring to me.

Nobody seems to know who said it first. Still, dsi1 presents it as his
own, which it certainly is not.

I did not come up with this nor would I claim to have originated it. That would be untruthful. As we all know, I only tell the truth. The way I figured it, all ya'alls would be familiar with this little truth. My guess is that you all might have heard it before, you just don't understand/believe it.

While I do doubt her assertion, my point was she thinks steaming
vegetables is somehow wrong. Of course she'd never make something like
cauliflower gratin but if she did she'd attempt to use raw cauliflower
and then wonder why it burned to a crisp and no one would eat it.
