Water, Tired,

They are turning off the water in our building at 9 in the morning once again. This time I have stuck a reminder notice in a prominent position so that hopefully we won't forget and will get all our ablutions out of the way.

Sorry, I am very tired tonight and having spent a large part of the afternoon sitting around at the doctors, we were both a bit teed off. So I am off to bed and you are minus much of a blog.

I enjoy cauliflower although I mostly have it with a cheese sauce. I have tried roasting it once, that seems to be highly recommended, but I wasn't enamoured. So, when I came across this recipe this morning I decided to make a note of it. A simple little recipe but should be quite tasty.

Cauliflower in Garlic Sauce

1 cauliflower, separated into florets
6 Tbs (90 ml) olive oil
3 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1 Tbs (15 ml) paprika
1 Tbs (15 ml) red wine vinegar
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
Red pepper flakes to taste (optional)

Boil the cauliflower in enough salted water to cover until tender, about 15 minutes. Drain and place in a serving bowl. Heat the olive oil in a small skillet over moderate heat and sauté the chopped garlic for 1 minute. Remove from the heat and add the remaining ingredients, stirring to mix well. Pour over the cauliflower and serve immediately.

Servings: 4

Have a great day

  1. Hi Jo - I'm sure this time you'll remember the water ... hope it returns soon. I roasted some cauliflower the other day - I must say I did it under some chicken ... so the chicken skin crisped over the cauliflower. It was good ... but I too love cauliflower cheese. That cauli with garlic sauce sounds a change ... cheers Hilary

    1. Yes Hilary, Matt is already in the shower and I will be going in a minute. I bet that was good, never tried that. We both like cauliflower cheese.

  2. Between your apartment and the doctors, you have to endure a lot of annoying things!

  3. I have tried cauliflower, but unlike the Brussels sprouts, I could not get into enjoying them. You definitely need some cheese otherwise you might as well chew on paper pulp.

    1. We eat cauliflower cheese quite a bit Denise. It's good with tomatoes under it and put under the grill too.

    1. It is Betty, but I suppose it's a 40 year old building so there is lots to be done. It's still a nice place to live though. Yup, slept pretty well thanks. Although I do seem to have to get up every 2 or 3 hours at night LOL. That is definitely an age thing

  5. Amazing how sitting around waiting can wear you out, but it does. Must be the aggravation of it.
