I like cauliflower - raw, steamed, deep fried tempura style, mixed with
broccoli, etc. Just not mixed w/tatties. I've been known to steam up a small
head of cauliflower or broccoflower (green cauliflower) and make that supper
with judicious application of butter, S&P and once some ranch dressing.

That's sort of the idea of the echo picnics - to try out new things. And old
favourites.

So I saw from other posts. And, apparently, plans for a second round.

MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.06
 
      Title: Dirty Dave's Sort-Of Tempura Batter
 Categories: Five, Breads, Deep-fry
      Yield: 7 Servings
 
      5 tb All-purpose flour
      3 c  Aunt Jemima's Deluxe easy
           - pour pancake batter mix
    1/4 ts Baking soda
  3 1/2 c  Club soda; room temp
  1 1/2 c  Water
 
  I first made this batter for a house party. I don't
  remember where I swiped the recipe from - but, it's mine
  now. Works well if you substitute beer for the water, too.
  
  Combine the flour pancake mix and baking soda in a deep
  bowl. Stirring constantly with a whisk or spoon pour in
  the club soda and water in a slow stream and continue to
  stir until the mixture is a smooth thin cream.
  
  Strain the batter through a fine sieve set over a clean
  bowl pressing down hard on any lumps with the back of a
  large spoon.
  
  Dip vegetables, shrimp, etc. in batter and drop into the
  deep-fryer or fondue pot with oil at 350øF - 375øF.
  
  Cook until batter is a nice golden brown and crispy.
