I really fancy some cauliflower cheese now

Hadn't had it for years but was getting tired of steamed/roasted/whatever cauliflower & I love Mac & Cheese (get asked to make it quite often when we have friends over for BBQ).... Got me thinking that cauliflower cheese would be a great substitute & I can treat it much the same way as when I enhance my mac & cheese.

Music whilst cooking is essential for me, usually a random selection from my Spotify playlist
these days as it saves having to choose a CD. Does it change the flavour? There are probably some
songs which encourage being more liberal with the spices so maybe.

The other towns round here are worse regarding people who live in them and Bruce relies on a guy from here to get to his work so moving isn't an option lol xx
