Roasted cauliflower puree
I came up with this recipe as a low fat, low carb alternative to mashed potatoes. It’s very easy and SUPER DELICIOUS!
1 head of cauliflower, chopped
1 medium brown onion, diced
3-5 cloves garlic, roughly chopped
Olive oil
Approx. 1 c. Chicken broth
Approx. 2 t of thyme
Salt & pepper to taste
Smoked salt to taste (available at Trader Joe’s)
Splash of Almond milk
Preheat oven to ROAST at 375
Toss cauliflower with olive oil, sprinkle with salt, and roast for 15-20 minutes, or until fork tender, mixing once or twice to prevent burning
In a medium pot, cook onion in olive oil over low/medium heat until translucent.
Add in garlic and continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until light brown
Add roasted cauliflower, chicken broth, thyme, & fresh cracked pepper to pot. Cover and cook on medium for a few more minutes.
Turn off heat and puree with hand blender until smooth. If you don’t have a hand blender, use a standard blender or food processor.
Add a splash of almond milk then blend again for creamier consistency.
Salt/smoked salt to taste
SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!

Follow Up of the Day: Crafty hackers last night managed to hijack the official website of embattled breast-cancer charity Susan G. Komen for the Cure, and express their dismay at the organization’s politically expedient decision to pull Planned Parenthood grants funding breast-cancer screenings for uninsured and underinsured low-income patients.
The switch was simple, but the message was clear: A banner previously calling women to join a run aimed at ridding the world of breast cancer now read “help us run over poor women on our way to the bank.”
The hack, which briefly redirected www.komen.org visitors to ww5.komen.org, was only the first in a series of notable developments that have taken place since the charity announced its controversial grant withdrawal on Tuesday.
Planned Parenthood, which called out Komen for bowing to “political pressure,” has managed to raise nearly $1 million from online donations and generous contributions from deep-pocketed supporters such as NYC Mayor Michael Bloomberg.
That number, which is continuing to rise, is nearly as much as Komen gave the nonprofit in 2010 and 2011 combined.
Pressure on Komen to reverse its decision is also mounting. 22 Democratic Senators have reportedly signed a strongly worded letter calling on Komen to resume its partnership with Planned Parenthood.
Additionally, Komen’s top public health official, Mollie Williams, has resigned to protest her employer’s defunding decision. The executive director of Komen’s Los Angeles County chapter has also stated her intention to resign.
For its part, Komen continues to deny anti-abortion links to its decision, despite their anti-choice SVP Karen Handel’s well-established goal to defund Planned Parenthood. (Handel recently retweeted a remark critical of Planned Parenthood that concluded with the phrase “cry me a freaking river.” The retweet was soon deleted.)
The organization is further denying its deletion of pro-Planned Parenthood comments from its Facebook page and message board, claiming it only removes comments for profanity.
One poignant comment Komen couldn’t delete was left by award-winning author Judy Blume on her Twitter feed: ”Susan Komen would not give in to bullies or to fear. Too bad the foundation bearing her name did. Support @PPact. Save lives.”
When even Judy Blume is calling you out, you should probably stop and listen.

this may be one of the best ads I’ve ever seen
Who can’t love this guy?
also the story of heteronormative assimilation, whoops
^^^ Assimilation makes me grumpy.
yeaaaaaah uh i did not read it that way at all
I’m about to be real grumpy.
The same people who say shit like the above (not DTWPS) are some of the same people who piss and moan about how homophobic Black folks are.
And here’s a Black man, the president of the US speaking about the multiplicity of acceptance of gay folks, and y’all just have to nitpick?
Look, I get it, I’m as skeptical of homonormativity and everything as anyone else. Shit, I’m even more so, because I am Black and Trans* and there is no way for me to even begin to be represented by the HRC and their like. But, that said, I say come the fuck on. Have your ish about homonormativity, but acknowledge this is a big fucking deal, to have a man who has admitted he is making his own journey to acceptance come out and say that it’s important actually be accepting. Not tolerating, but accepting.
This gives me hope or the future of the United States.
just wait until he gets to Goblet of Fire
