State Fair Material

My thumb is actually green afterall. NOT! Just good beginners luck.
This cauliflower grew so huge, the picture doesn't do it justice but I weighed it after we cut it off and it was 11.6lbs. HOLY COW! What do I do with that much cauliflower???? Anyone have any good recipes?
We cut down our sunflowers so we can dry out the seeds. Sunflowers have a really cool process if anyone wants to do it next year for your kids. My kids loved watching each step and watching it all change. Way cool.

Wow, I'm so impressed. That is a humungo cauliflower! I have a recipe for you. It may sound a little funny, but it is really good!

Cauliflower Mashed Potatoes

1 head fresh cauliflower (or 1/2 head cauliflower and 3 -4 red potatoes)
Butter, sour cream, salt, pepper

Directions:
Cut up cauliflower and boil till soft. Mash with potato masher. Add moderate amount of butter, sour cream salt and pepper.
Variation: Use 1/2 cauliflower and 1/2 potatoes. Both ways taste delicious.
