#11  Sounds like fun... I've copied #6, and will give it a try.
Anyone for an official Rantburg cookbook? I can contribute a pretty good wild rice recipe.

#10  And you know what's in those dawgs, huh? Lol!

Yep - I've tried fresh crumbled bacon (You have the key to why this recipe works so well, heh) and it was excellent with cheddar and more onion - half of which I browned in olive oil.

#9  That's why God invented hot dawgs. Kids like hot dawgs with vegetables like onions and green peppers and unripened pepperoinis on top. :)

Actually I may give the recipe a try but will likely add a little bacon juice.

#8  Lol! Hey, when my kid brought home all those other kids, I had to get creative. Go ahead. Sneer. You're an uncultured Alley Oop Neanderthal! Get back to your simpleton nachos (I have a killer recipe for that, too!), dood! Now clean off the remote control and give it to your wife - you're obviously not qualified to drive! ;->

#6  Cauliflower For Those Who (think they) Hate Cauliflower

1. 1/4 cup minced fresh onion
2. 1/2 tsp salt
3. 1/8 tsp pepper
4. 2 tbsp prepared mustard (type=your preference)
5. 1/3 cup mayonnaise
6. 1/2 cup grated cheese (type=your preference)
7. 1 lrg head cauliflower (trim off excess stem)
========================================================
1. Mix first 5 ingredients thoroughly in small bowl - set aside.

2. Turn cauliflower head upside down and, using sharp knife, carefully pierce thick stems (don't cut through them or it will fall apart, duh!) repeatedly to assist in even cooking.

3. Place cauliflower head in medium sauce pan (large enough that head is not touching sides), add water to 1/2 way point of pan.

4. Bring water to boil, reduce heat to medium and continue boiling uncovered until knife can be inserted in cauliflower with minimum force - i.e. cauliflower is "soft" - adjust this to your preference) - approx 18-25 minutes for large head.

5. Drain water & discard.

6. Place cauliflower head in serving dish with low sides to allow access.

7. Carefully spoon mixed ingredients over cauliflower and cover completely - this coating will allow cheese to "stick" while it melts.

8. Sprinkle grated cheese evenly on the caulifower and try to cover completely.

9. Cheese will melt in a few minutes - serve.
========================================================

I used this recipe for children who hated cauliflower. They ate every bite. As for adults who don't like cauliflower, beat their parents for being unoriginal drones and try this on them. If you think about it, you can add a (very) small amount of almost any spice to this recipe to give it a particular flavor to go with other dishes. Examples: garlic; chili powder; even nuts!; etc. And varying the type of cheese works the same way. I found smoked Gouda and top-shelf Swiss / Emmental to be my favorites - try swiss with crushed walnuts!

"Mutant"?

It's the attack of the killer cabbages.

#2  So what does it taste like? Like cauliflower, or carrots, or sweet potatoes, or yams? Because I really like cauliflower, but I can't stand the flavor of most of the "orange" vegetables.

#1  How about one with 25x the flavor? B-land.
