This is a test post from , a fancy schmancy photo sharing thing.

And the tree comes down in 3-2-1...

Oh, so everything is now a kitten toy...

Chunkers has other priorities.

Romanesco

Green Box delivery usually has at least one surprise item. This week it's Romanesco. Looks like a broccoli from outer space, but is actually related to cauliflower. I admired it for a while; then what the heck, nuked it with mayo, mustard and cheese. Delicioso.

Frosted Cauliflower

• 1 med. cauliflower (about 1 1/2 lb. trimmed)
• 2 tbsp. water
• 3/4 c. shredded cheese (I like Elemental, but even Velveeta will do.)
• 1/2 c. mayonnaise (scant)
• 2 tsp. Dijon mustard
• Paprika or seasoned salt to sprinkle on

Cut off stem, leaving cauliflower whole. Put water and cauliflower in 1 1/2 quart casserole. Cover and microwave on high about 9 minutes, turning bowl 1/4 turn once. (Should be just tender). Meanwhile, mix other ingredients. Drain cauliflower then spread with topping. Cover and let stand 5 minutes until topping melts. Makes 6 servings.

What was more disturbing was the other alien in the box...

I can always count on my kitchen helper.

"Is it done yet?"

Whipped

LittleBit is pure EVIL. Oh, she appears innocent enough, but looks are deceiving ... and she's been working her wicked wiles on poor dumb Chunkers. That cutsie, feminine, purring façade hides the darkest of souls. Her evilness must be revealed! .... so I took her in for a full body shave.... and now the horror that is her true self is exposed!
