Tonight we had riced cauliflower. It was a frozen bag of white stuff, some green peas, minute shreds of carrot and green onion. On the back was a recipe for fried rice. So I added fresh garlic and ginger, along with a scrambled egg. I chopped the last of the leftover pork roast and added that. It was good, if a bit underwhelming. I sure wouldn't want to eat riced cauliflower imitation rice forever. It was ok, but it ain't REAL rice!
Desert will be the last of the fruit salad. Later. Full on imitation rice.
Roasted eggplant was an eye opener for me. I never thought they could taste THAT good! I had mine on pizza of all things. My grandmother used to dip slices in flour and egg before pan frying them for us. I tried that years later, but they tasted bitter. Wish I knew how she did it.
