The prodigal returns.

Last Autumn, I carefully planted my brassica seeds

and nurtured them till it was time to plant them out.

I planted mine in a carefully prepared bed.

The netting I put over the top did a great job

keeping the cabbage moths away...but not the goats!

So, we went without.

I gave some seedlings to my sister 

and, as she has more sense than to keep goats,

she had a wonderful crop.

Yesterday she brought one of the caulies

for us to eat.

Although it is tradition, we couldn't kill the fatted calf to celebrate

this prodigal's return because we didn't have a calf at hand

and anyway, we eat mainly vegetarian here now.

So we did the next best thing and killed the fatted cauliflower

and put it in a potato and cauliflower curry!

I won't post the recipe...just put 'curry cauliflower' in your search engine and take your pick!

YUMMY!
