Did you like it?
I'm so sorry you're going through so much![]()
I completely understand how frustrating it is, but it's brutal at the moment....especially in the US.I'm completely with you about online. My mum has come to the understanding that's how it's done...so I'm not dealing with that thankfully. Of all things to deal with....for your dad to be telling you off about that?
Always wishing you get some good news soon
I've been through hell with my mum....she is a pit bull and would do 'anything' for me and my education. Always wanting me to have the best etc. And I KNOW my parents did a lot for my brother an I......trust me I know........I get reminded.....
But it was so much what she wanted I've landed somewhere I never saw coming. She's a wonderful mum in so many ways...such that I get berated about being ungrateful when I dare do something she doesn't agree with...
I too wish I could leave but I simply can't afford this real estate market even teaming up with my friends who also desperately want to move out. I need to get a solid permanent position step 1.....
Talking to the Local Manager tomorrow
Anyway.....
Best Wishes Dana.....
We just all need to try and think more like this guy....
Not sayin it will happen.......I'm looming in Piglet mode at the moment.....
but...we can try

I read some statistics the other day about the job market in the US. Not only is there high unemployment; but for the people who are unemployed, it takes them an average of 40 weeks to find their next job.
I keep hoping to read good news on the Dis....
Cauliflower Soup
My starting ingredients:
![]()
- Cauliflower, 1 whole head cut into large florets
- Onion or leek, sliced
- Potato, 1 peeled and cut into chunks
- Curry powder, 1 teaspoon (or cumin power, ½ teaspoon)
- A piece of parmesan rind, about 1 x 2 inches
- Stock or water, enough to cover the vegetables
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Oil, 1 tablespoon
In a large pot, gently fry the onion or leek in the oil.
NOTE: I prefer using leek as it has a milder flavour that doesnt overpower the cauliflower taste.

Add the cauliflower florets to the pot and fry for another 2 3 minutes.
![]()
Add the spice and fry for another 1 2 minutes.
NOTE: If you are using potato, then add the potato at this stage. The potato acts as a natural thickener; but you can omit this ingredient should you choose to.
NOTE: In the picture here, Ive used curry powder. But Ive recently taken to substituting with cumin as I think it complements the cauliflower better than the curry powder. Ive used less cumin in the recipe as it is a stronger spice than curry.

Add the stock or water until it just covers the vegetable. If you are using the parmesan rind, then add it at this point. The rind will add a light cheesy taste to the stock as it cooks.
![]()
Allow stock to boil and then reduce heat to a simmer. Cook for 20 30 minutes.

Remove the piece of parmesan rind before blending all ingredients together. Serve with shaved parmesan slivers on top. Enjoy!
