We went to the Pimlico Road Market on Saturday and I found a purple cauliflower. I actually really, really like cauliflower (did you just stop reading?) so I don't need purple to make eating them appealing. But, it sure doesn't hurt! I thought about making cauliflower soup or cauliflower puree but then I thought that might actually make eating such things less appetizing. Purple soup may just look...nasty. So I decided on this salad. The description says the colors in the salad are pale - well, I'll show them with my purple cauliflower! Won't that add a bit of zing? However, not enough zing to make Dave try it.
I do know he will try my pumpkin bread. I have made this recipe time and time again and it's really good. But I loooooove (I could have added 5,000 "o's") pumpkin anything, especially breads, cakes, cupcakes, pies, ice cream... I don't add the orange to the bread because I never have oranges at home and I never feel like buying one just to zest it and then have it sit on my counter slowly shriveling up and drying out and dying. Gross. But the bread is awesome without the orange. But again, I love pumpkin. And now that it's fall (with summer-like temperatures outside) I start making pumpkin recipes up the wazoo, because to me, fall equals pumpkin. Or pumpkin equals fall. That sounds like an SAT question: fall is to pumpkin as summer is to...
After dinner update: Dave came home and did NOT try my cauliflower salad. I offered and he declined. I was not surprised. But he also came home and ATTACKED the pumpkin bread. Seriously, a whole corner of the thing is missing. He also asked me why I made it, since having it means we will eat it, and quickly. No joke, that thing will be gone in about 12 hours. Did I say I like pumpkin?
