Last night I cooked some cauliflower. I was planning on eating it with Velveeta melted on top. We had that a lot when I was a kid, and I crave it every once in a while. I had gotten the cauliflower last time I was at the grocery store, and I thought I had some Velveeta in the refridgerator. But I didn’t. Dang.
I was too lazy to go to the grocery store, so I wondered if I could use a substitue. I had some Muenster and some Romano. The Muenster was yuck. I didn’t like it at all. But the Romano was promising. It had a sharpness to it that would help the blandness of the cauliflower. I shredded a bunch of it, then sprinkled it on the cauliflower. I ate some, but it wasn’t quite right. I added pepper and ate some more, but it wasn’t quite right. I added salt and ate a little more, but it still wasn’t quite right. By this time, I’d eaten a fourth of the head of cauliflower. I threw the rest out into the back yard. I mean seriously, who eats a whole head of cauliflower?
I have a cheese addiction. We had broccoli with Velveeta last night, and we also like it on cauliflower. Except Daniel. He likes it plain.
Cheddar isn’t a bad substitute for Velveeta, and actually mixed with Velveeta is our favorite.
Who eats a whole head of cauliflower? If I’d place bets on anyone, it would be you.
We never had cheese on veggies growing up, and the first meaningful encounter I had with that was a few years ago at the Guilfords. Holly did something magical involving frozen vegetables, a couple of slices of American cheese, and a microwave. (I think there was milk involved, but I wasn’t paying attention.)
That sounds like a challenge! To the grocery store for another cauliflower!
You should have saved it. I like to keep a head of cauliflower around for the Zombie Apocalypse. That way when they come looking for brainz I can distract them with the cauliflower long enough to get my chainsaw.
…make that TWO more cauliflowers. I’d like to be prepared for zombies as well. Except I don’t have a chainsaw. I DO have a sword though. That works, right? As long as I remove the head?
HA!!!
“Buy, milk, ring mum, dodge zombies.”
(Something else to buy for the emergency kit! Thanks for the tip)
oops … omit comma after buy…
Hmmm, they never used that in Shaun of the Dead. I do remember them threwing vinyl records. It didn’t work as well as they hoped.
I LOVE that scene. If I could access youtube, I would look for that clip & put it here:

(Yea, Shaun says that line.)
I’m so embarrassed. I said they were threwing. I think I’m going to bring my degree back to Seward and see if I can get some sort of refund.
um . . . actually one Christmas I was driving to Indianapolis from Baltimore and ate a whole crown of brocolli. I know, the brocolli crowns are smaller, but I think these two would be in a similar conversation.
Did you eat it like you were a giraffe eating from a tree? Because that’s the coolest.
When I was little I ate a whole head of lettuce while I was watching TV.
Was that a snack in your house? Did you at least salt it?
Dude, didn’t you have potato chips in the house?
Lettuce is pretty good by itself. No one ever thinks of what lettuce tastes like.
