Maybe that was in the back of my mind and was what inspired me to look for recipes with both! I agree though, they are a good match, and I use them together quite often with some kind of tomato base.

It cooled down last night so I took advantage by making a recipe I'd been eyeing to use a cauliflower I'd bought a few days ago. It was a Middle Eastern inspired roast cauliflower, chickpeas and onions tossed in harissa (spicey sauce) and ras el hanout (spice blend) served with greens (I used raw arugula - she called for blanched kale) and a yoghurt based sauce. I cooked early in the morning, but had to try it straight away of course, so it was basically a spicey late breakfast, with lots of leftovers. It was good, though I had to make a few changes to the recipe to make it work, and it isn't pretty enough to serve to guests, which is too bad, as I'd been hoping to add it to my list.

And while I'm about it, "welp" needs to go away.

"Pivot" on competitive TV shows. As in, "I failed at this challenge so I'm going to have to pivot." Yes, I need a life.

He has the worst table manners ever; it's always grossed me out.

Okay, they're chefs not art critics, but "George Okeef"? Seriously? Bleeding into Pet Peeves, but we need a better general education here.

Thank you for the recap. The irritation that is Beatrice is so great for me that I couldn't bring myself to actually watch. But I'm expecting her and her weird pink eyeshadow to be making an appearance again soon on Food Network.

Ah yes, the proud history of illegal mixed race marriage in the US. Fun fact: Alabama was the last state to drop laws against miscegenation* - in 2000. * Sex or marriage between people of different races

Hey Sawyer, I'm sorry you have no neck, but growing a beard and wearing a neckerchief round it just accentuates the fact. Own it. Gabe, you're a very beautiful man (and I'm sure a good cook) - I'm so sorry to see you go.

"If you didn't tell me" when the speaker means "If you hadn't told me". Happens all the time on food shows - "If you didn't tell me this was vegetarian, I'd never have known."

Chrissie? Ugh. I've never heard that but now I know I will. Thanks a lot. 😂

I don't care about the random clinical trial they chose because it gave the best results, just say 'over 45 pounds' and I'll be fine.

Sammy, ooey gooey (not a short cut but like baby talk to me, so yes, grow up). ETA "Like" as in "similar to", not the obnoxious "like" that some people use like every, like, other, like, word.

People who write "prolly" instead of "probably".

Most modern microwaves can take metal these days. Or she could have anticipated the problem and used glass/Pyrex. I'm sure it wasn't the first time she'd had the problem when under a time crunch. (I prefer glass in preparing cakes, though admittedly my baking is limited to a couple of good quality cake mixes. I just like the feel of it better.)
