My cat decided to help me write this morning: "A further exchange of weeeeee"

And then, as he ran off after me for some food, he left behind: "aSSSSSS"

Such literary greatness that would await him, if only his paws were not too big for a keyboard.

My parents are dieting at the moment, which means I get to eat their diet food. Sometimes what they produce is actually really interesting. Take, for instance, today's offering of cauliflower mash. This is the recipe (with, er, quite imprecise measurements as passed on by Mum):

Cauliflower mash
- half a cauliflower, boiled until fully cooked
- splash of cream
- knob of butter
- salt, pepper
- pinch of nutmeg
Stick all that in the blender and blend until it's all been turned to mash.

And it's really nice! Normally I find cauliflower pretty meh, but this actually has flavour. It made a good accompaniment to stewed beef along with other, regularly cooked veg.
