I understand. I absolutely do that as well. Yum!

Keep cauliflower scraps in a second bag. Blended into soup or gravy, it’s a fantastic thickener. Adds a lot of body without a lot of calories. Bonus if you’re avoiding too much wheat.

Following the earlier discussion about pepper grinders kicked off by @chgoliz, here’s a tip for those collecting statements of the blindingly obvious. Regardless of the type of grinder, don’t forget to check if the top’s screwed on.

That’s green capsicum (and caraway!) shakshuka under those peppercorns. I scraped most off but still ate many more than I would have chosen.

ETA should have been @milliefink!

'Twas mine, as well! (The recipe does indeed work well with some andouille diced in, but I left it out this time. At Christmas I’ll attempt a gluten-free version so four more can eat it.)

I’m probably way late to the game here, but I’ve gone through the pepper mill…um…mill, and come out the other side. This is where I landed:

I really like the electric grinder. When I’m cooking, I want to be able to add pepper to taste with one hand (the other hand for lifting pot lids, stirring, adding salt, etc). I had one with a button for a while, but it couldn’t cut the mustar…pepper. This one’s been going strong for a couple years now. Just turn it upside down and it starts grinding. Turn it right side up and it shuts off. No button. Plenty of capacity.

The former, I’d say, since you’re definitely not the type to have a stick up yer arse.

“Oh, the humanity!!” Although, for what it’s worth, I actually love Hawai’ian pizza, unholy conglomeration of cultures that it is.

Need to gif up that last one. Happy waving bonito flakes!

My two favorite variations on Hawai’ian pizza are to swap the ham for bacon, and the rarely-seen version that adds almond slivers and a shake of cinnamon.

I’ve also had it with a sort of BBQ sauce instead of red sauce.
