Actually, I do know the reasoning behind it. I still don't understand
it. I'm not 'low carbing". Substitutes amuse me. It's like pretending
soy milk or almond milk is real milk.
Rice has never been a staple in my diet. I don't eat potatoes every
day, either. I'm not chomping down on bread with every meal. Who are
all these people eating so many carbs they have to have a "diet" for it?

Yeah, I know how to make it. I just don't want to. I *love*
cauliflower. As a side dish to meat. Or in a bowl of soup.

Uh huh. Enjoy it.
