South Beach day 2

Today's haiku:
In omelets or poached
no matter how many eggs,
I miss my pasta

Yesterday's menu:
Three hard boiled eggs, a piece of turkey, decaf tea with splenda and low carb creamer, a chunk of lowfat cheese, a whole lot of pecans. A garlic/5-spice steak, sautéed mushrooms (in olive oil) and rj3's excellent mashed cauliflower with huge amounts of butter.

I feel:
Like eating Mt Everest. The sight of a tube of unbaked Pillsubury dinner-roll dough can now make me tremble with carb-lust. I demand muffin!...or just some fruit juice?

Recipe: It Ain't Potatoes But It's Close Mashed Cauliflower

• Chunk a whole cauliflower and steam it until it's extremely squishy.

• Place in a bowl with half a stick of butter and Vegeta if you have it, garlic, salt and pepper if you don't. Then add some extra salt.

• Use a hand masher or electric mixer to squish everything down to a relatively smooth white paste. It actually isn't half bad...actually.
