Scalloped potato and fruit

   

 Before the breadcrumb and cheese topping... and after.

Omelettes with bacon, also


 Bacon... the most delicious, and most paleo food there is.

Roasted Cauliflower


Today we bought one head of cauliflower for $1.80 at Trader Joe's with our discount (the same goes for $1.00 at some ethnic markets though).

Once home, I divided the entirety into small florets. Drizzled it with 1/4 C olive oil. Then sprinkled it with a lot of salt and freshly-ground black pepper. Oh, and a lot of chopped garlic.


Then I roasted it in the oven at 500° F  for about a quarter of an hour, agitating the contents every five minutes.

I was afraid the garlic would go all bitter and burnt by the time the florets had thoroughly roasted, but luckily - because they were pretty big chunks, of course - the outsides were singed crispy, and the insides caramelized a bit.

Michael added a bit of melted butter and put it in again at 200° F for ten more minutes, because it wasn't all quite cooked to the center of the florets.


Anyway, the results were fucking delicious.

We enjoyed it immensely with a glass of red table wine. (Although not "paleolithic"... fermented fruit is too sugary... this was still necessary for maximum deliciousness.)

And a clementine; so easy to peel, it's like it wants to be eaten.


Later Michael fried up a nice, over-medium pair of eggs. These went on top, and the florets were handily used to mop up the yolk.


It was good situation.
