Cauliflower...did you forget about cauliflower? I know I did, and I actually quite like cauliflower, I just sort of forgot about cauliflower......so I found this simple recipe for roasted cauliflower, it incorporates a small amount of capers and the caper juice. Perhaps you haven't used capers much; the caper used in cooking is actually the bud of a flower that is picked and pickled. If left on the plant, the caperbud will flower and turn into a fruit called a caperberry. Capers are often served with fish, you might find them in some salads or Italian dishes, and it turns out they are a main ingredient in tartar sauce. Who knew? Pickled capers can be easily found in a bottle at your local grocery store.

I love cauliflower, as do the other members of my family. We'll have to try this. Right now, the vegetable in abundance is green tomato. Do you have any suggestions?
