Wooohoooo!

Dear husband, dear daughter, and I are on the South Beach diet.
She's been doing it nearly 3 weeks and has lost 18 pounds.
I've been on for 5 days and have lost mumblemumble hardly any*.
He's been on it since getting off the plane from Europe Thursday.

Tonight we had grilled salmon, spinach, salad, and:


Cauliflower "Mashed Potatoes"

Separate 1 fresh head of cauliflower into small
florets. Steam or boil (in enough water to just
cover) until tender. Drain.

Puree the florets well in a food processor, adding
a small amount of butter (or "near butter") and
a tiny splash of half-and-half (light cream, to
our friends across the pond). Salt and fresh ground
pepper to taste.

Absolutely delicious, not strong flavored at all.,
more like mashed potatoes than you will believe.
