Originally scheduled for this spot was a beautiful photo array of how to make creamy cauliflower and leek soup.
I cut up a whole cauliflower, 3 leeks (white part only) and put it in my crock pot with home made chicken stock, & lots of salt & pepper. I cooked it on low overnight, planning to puree it this morning, add heavy cream and spices (hot sauce, nutmeg & cumin) and take it for my lunch today.
About 5 a.m., I awoke to the most horrible smell. Upon entering my kitchen, I saw what looked to be a crock pot full of toxic waste. Smelled worse. The leeks were burnt. The cauliflower was the color of old leather. Matthew came upstairs and promptly gagged.
Where did I go wrong? It seemed like such a good idea at the time.......
On a side note, this is an actual quote from Matthew Tuesday night in the produce aisle of the grocery store: "MOM! Look! They have bags of broccoli and cauliflower already cut up & mixed together! Can we get some?" I thought the old lady at the apple bin was going to have a stroke. BTW, he won't eat Twinkies..........
Bon Apetit!
See? Matthew really IS Little Ed, does he like kholorabi?
