cauliflower not nopales

This morning instead of church, Erik and I went to McKinley park and walked. Then we sat talking for a while by the dunk pond.

Then we went to the co-op, and I got some nice vanilla lip balm.

Then we went to the big farmers market downtown under the freeway. We looked for asparagus, but the guy charging $2, the asparagus looked very poor. I should have made the second lap and bought some from the people charging $3. But I forgot to make that second lap. Anyway, we got some tomatoes and green beans and cherries. The cherries are only so-so. Kind of watery.

Then we went to the dollar store. We got organic cherry tomatoes, organic romaine, some broccoflower, cheese crackers, cookies for Erik, and some nice pens.

Then we went to the thrift store. We got Erik two pairs of pants and a pair of shorts.

Then we went to the library. Erik got tons of CDs. I think he's going to use up all the hard drive on my laptop ripping CDs.

Then we came home and did laundry. Oh, I forgot to say that at the farmers market we also got some fresh basil, and now I need to figure out how to use it. And I also forgot to say that at the park, we walked by some people who were smoking pot.

So for dinner I made a dish. It's a nopalitos dish, but I made it with cauliflower instead of nopales, and it was so tasty. Here's how you make it.

cauliflower not nopales

1 head of cauliflower chopped in bite-sized pieces
1 or 2 onions chopped fine
2 to 8 cloves garlic, pressed
2 tbsp flour
1 1/2 cups water
2 oz chili powder
(I don't know what 2 oz looks like, so I just dump a few tbsp in)
salt
pepper

In a medium-large pan, saute the onions and garlic in a generous amount of olive oil. Cook the cauliflower however you like (I microwaved it). Saute the onions and garlic for a long time. Then let them rest for 10 minutes. Add the flour, water, and chili powder. Cook until the sauce thickens quite a bit. Then stir in the cauliflower and serve with warm tortillas.
