Last night was rack of lamb, seasoned and cooked on the grill to medium rare. I picked up a green cauliflower, which was among a beautiful selection of purple, gold and white cauliflowers. I mentioned before that I am loving mashed cauliflower, with the addition of a Yukon Gold potato to beef up the texture. I steamed the green beauty, then mashed along with the potato to a creamy pale green that was interesting. The addition of lots of snipped chives from our garden, a little butter and some half and half made for a very good side with the lamb.
Gene was playing with a new headset that allows him to turn the sound up and down separately from the universal TV remote. He has a hearing issue and I will not tolerate the loud TV. He was quite thrilled with the way they were working and decided to keep them on so he could still listen to the program we were watching while he was tending to the grill on the patio. All was going great until his attention was on the headset and not on the food and the rack caught on fire. He got it out quickly and we still got our medium rare lamb but with a nice char on the outside.

He does like the idea of not having to miss a minute of a program now, he will just have to get better at multi-tasking!
