My Thanksgiving contributions

Per Mom's request:
*Apple pie
*Roasted cauliflower  Note: this is much better with full fat feta and cumin seeds rather than ground cumin)
*Raw kale salad.  I made this with two bunches dinosaur/lacinato kale and one bunch red Russian kale, omitting brussels sprouts for no other reason than that none of the ones at the store looked fresh enough to be tasty raw.  Also omitted the cheese, which I did not miss at all, and did a 1:1 lemon juice and almond oil ratio in the dressing (I believe they called for 1:2 or 1:3.)

Raw kale salad.  Just like the pilgrim raw-foodists used to eat.

These were splendid. Andrew supplied an Indian name for the cauliflower dish.

Gobi!

Andrew actually thought of the Hindi word for cauliflower before the English one. Proof he's been spending too much time over there, or proof that Indian food is just THAT much better than American?
