have any indian restaurants nearby? (i assume you will soon )

i forget the name of it, but lots of indian places make a great spicy cauliflower appetizer...gobi something-or-other?...that is SUPER yummy. and if you don't like super-spicy foods, try a regular ol' veggie curry with cauliflower in it. i loooove that.

indian food is delicious

I like it HOT! When I was abroad this last time I did eat some of the cauliflower out of whatever it was that he ordered - I liked it.

someone else suggested that I try it mashed - I will have to do that - thanks Dewrede I love mustard!!

shanti0608 said:

hmm, you'll have to let me know about that. i'm kind of fussy about mashed veggies that aren't potatoes. of course, that was after trying mashed turnips.

Anxiety said:

I have yet to be brave enough to try it. I will have to mix with potatoes though. I know how my brain works...

I usually do not like things unless they are in there original form. Like popcorn flavoured jelly bellys

shanti0608 said:

i agree with you there. jellybeans should not be buttery or salty.

Anxiety said:

EXACTLY!!!!! and my coffee cannot be COLD or iced

shanti0608 said:

welll...i can deal with iced coffee. it's not my favorite thing, but i can go there. i find "repurposed" foods are either yay or nay with me - either i love it or i hate it. i try to be brave and adventurous and try new things, but yeah. we have our favorites for a reason, i guess.

Anxiety said:

I try them too but some things are better in their original form.

3 months!!!! Now that I see it written down, 3 months does not sound like very much though.
