More on the GIANT HEAD OF CAULIFLOWER

Yesterday we shared a few shots of our roadside acquisition,  the giant head of cauliflower.  This purchase has tickled our funny bone and has been a source of great entertainment.  I guess we're easily entertained!

Self-serve roadside stand somewhere in the countryside between Ephrata and Intercourse, PA

I've seen self-serve stands in Willard, UT too.  We actually leave an extra fifty cents because we don't have exact change and this cauliflower is worth every penny and then some.

Our beautiful cauliflower was not unique.  It had several equally lovely brothers and sisters,
but ours was the largest of the bunch!

Diane has developed a special relationship with our cauliflower.  Do you think she can fit it in her carry-on bag?



We are fascinated by this cauliflower.  We tell almost everyone we meet about it.  I am sure they are thinking these people from Utah are a little odd but it is such an amazing cauliflower we just have to share our amazing purchase.  Karen even stops to show it to the doorman on our return to the hotel.  He's not as impressed as we are.

Our obsession keeps growing.  We have to find out just how big this cauliflower is.  Hmm....how to go about it.  We set it on our bathroom scale but it is so large that it covers the number readout.  I bravely volunteer to get on the scale with & without the cauliflower.  I hop on -

  

I would like to say 130 but I think it is much closer to 135 pushing 136.
 OMG! I've gained 5 pounds on this trip and we're only half way through!



On the scale with the cauliflower.

I'd say between 143-144 lbs.

Our cauliflower weighs in at 7 to 8 pounds. This one head would be enough for everyone at a Utah family reunion.  That is a very impressive cauliflower!
