My c-flower is turning yellow in the sun. Call it sepia. Next year I think I’ll rubber-band the leaves to give them a little cabana so they can stay snowy white. Because we’re all about perfection.
But I also noticed a PURPLE coloration in between the curds. I thought it was a fungus or something. It’s not. Here’s one explanation. I guess it’s just harmless pigment, again, related to sun exposure. It doesn’t seem to be affecting the taste.

Picked the first cauliflower today!
“Cauliflower looks like cancer,” my brother says. I can understand the cauliflower haters. It’s kind of smelly and funny looking. But the c-flower I cooked was sweet, crunchy and much milder than the grocery shelf version. Totally yummy.
Here’s a good recipe we used for a teriyaki veggie/tofu/meat marinade. Blend up these things quickly in your blender:
I threw in some early squash and some late (kinda tough) peas. Not too bad.
