    we still sometimes make those fad recipes

    So will I. More than once if it's actually tasty.

    The part I hayed was that the loc\\w carbwers wrecked the suppply
    and damnd curves and pushed the pirce up form $3 a head to $6. Now
    that it's sown to $4 I'll buy iyt again.

    For the most part we just enjoy it as a veggie.

    Same here. I mainly do steamed caulflower and broccoli mixtures
    together with at least twe of: carrots, parsnips, turnips or
    rutabaga, boiled, or cream of cauliflower and broccoli soups with
    Cheddar cheese.

    I also search out Chinese and Indian treamtments for it. I recently
    posted a few of those


    Cheers

    Jim


    ... If you ever serve me a cauliflower waffle I will call the police.

    There are some great Indian recipes for it that's for sure. I'd say we
    mostly either eat it raw or steamed.

    UDD NOTES: This began life as a "Weight Watchers"
    deal. I have used all 'normal' full flavour
    ingredients in place of the low/no/reduced fat
    stuff. As well as using chicken broth if there was
    no veggie broth at hand. Served in a latte' cup
    this is a complete meal in and of itself. Especially
    if there is bread present.

    Serves 5 (2 Cups Per Serving)

    I am in a quandry as to how to pronounce Tso.

    (t)Sow (as in female pig with just a hint of a "t" sound).

    Most of the time I have avoided cauliflower side dishes in the
    restaurants here in our villages. They tend to barely cook it and
    thus it comes out almost rare.

    Tender, but firm, not mushy and with a bit of a bone in the stem is
    perfect.

    I do not expect roasted cauliflower to be the same.

    It should have crispy, browned, almost black tips.


    Tonight I ran into an exception. The menu said cauliflower au
    gratin. It was light on the cheese

    Gratins are all about the grated bread crumbs. The cheese is strictly
    optional, at least in France. North Americans almost always add
    cheese, usually a lot of cheese.

    that same restaurant is not doing creme brulee very well ...
    the custard underneath is soupy instead of being a real custard.

    I'm guessing insufficient egg yolks in the cream.

    There are probably many reasons why a custard does not set up correctly.
    Gail saw a TV show by a known chef that suggested it could be caused by
    getting water into the custard mix from the water bath splashing over.

    Title: Sweet Bastela (Creamy Layered Pastry)
    Categories: Ethiopian, Dessert
    Yield: 6 Servings

    MMMMM---------------------CUSTARD (SEE NOTE)--------------------------
    2 c Milk
    1/4 c Sugar
    4 lg Eggs
    1 ts Vanilla
    1 ts Cinnamon

    MMMMM---------------------------PASTRY--------------------------------
    10 ea Filo pastry sheets
    3 tb Butter, melted

    MMMMM--------------------------FILLING-------------------------------
    2 tb Raspberry OR strawberry
    -conserve
    1/2 c Coarsely chopped almonds

    MMMMM--------------------------TOPPING-------------------------------
    Confectioners' sugar

    NOTE: It is easier to use Jello Brand Custard Mix found at your
    grocery store - works fine.

    To make custard:

    In a heavy saucepan, heat the milk and sugar to scalding. Whirl the
    eggs in a blender while slowly pouring in the hot milk. Add vanilla
    and cinnamon. If the custard does not thicken enough to coat a
    spoon, return it to the pan and reheat it gently, stirring
    constantly until it does thicken. Should the custard curdle slightly
    while thickening, simply blend it again. Refrigerate

    Using a 7 or 8 inch plate as a guide, cut two circles from each sheet
    of the filo. On buttered baking pans, stack the filo sheets, four
    sheets to a stack, brushing every second sheet with melted butter.

    Bake in preheated 350 degree oven for about 20 minutes or until filo
    is golden brown.

    Assemble: Begin with one pair of filo circles. Spread all of the
    conserve evenly over the bottom layer of filo and sprinkle on a few
    of the chopped almonds. Add another pair of filo circles, some
    almonds and some of the egg custard. Continue to layer the filo,
    almonds and custard until all of the ingredients are used. End with
    a pair of filo circles.

    Sprinkle the pastry with confectioners' sugar and cut into six wedges.
    Serve immediately.
