Day 2, Eat More Vegs to Crowd out Junk [EMVTCOJ]

Today I made Chef Bertolli's Cauliflower Soup from food52.com. I used a giant head of organic cauliflower, an onion, a little olive oil and fleur de sel [told you, my new best friend]. I added one veggie bouillon cube and some fresh sage browned in olive oil. Freshly ground black pepper on top.

It was really good. But can I come to wax poetic about vegs the way i can about sweets? Melty, midnight-dark chocolate fudge and a wedge of layer cake so moist and tender it brings up country fairs and children's birthday parties?

Let me try. I dipped the old silver spoon into my Tory Burch spongeware bowl, scooping up the sustenance and dunking bites of buttered wheat toast. So simple and so soothing, and I marvel at the fact that a whole head of cauliflower cooked down to this baby food treat.
