It was not a happy time. The family were very nice to me but couldn't overcome my shyness, their son's shyness and the total language barriers between us all. However, there was a lovely girl who worked for them, milked the cows in the morning, did all the cleaning, most of the cooking, everything as far as I could see and although we couldn't swap a word we got along pretty well.
One evening she put this on the table. Simple lightly cooked fresh cauliflower and a strong oily vinaigrette rich with garlic and herbs. I'd never had anything like it before in my life and I loved it.
Use a good olive oil and plenty of seasoning. Don't overcook the cauliflower and include a few of the leaves if they are crisp and fresh.
Sorry about the picture. I cut my finger eviscerating an artichoke yesterday and combined with general sadness don't have much energy for fancy photography.

Hope your finger heals up soon, no fun having a cut finger near vinegar, and hope the food helps the sadness. ;-) Can't help with the food photo sites, I hadn't heard of them before.
Thanks Soja, food is a great healer :-)
You should take a look at the food sites when you have time, it's sometimes very interesting.
youch! hope it heals soon. love the look and sound of this - i hate vinegar so i replace that with lemon when i make salad dressing - i suspect this would work as well like that too.
had to leave another comment to let you know that the word verification for this one is catted!
Hi Joker, sorry for the delay, hope you see this.
Finger all better now. Lemon juice would be great with cauliflower but I expect I'd want double the amount you'd choose, I love sour!
I sometimes think the word verification is having a laugh, they put some very odd words in there :-)
