Larry’s dad is still here so I made dinner again last night. I followed Amy‘s example and used halibut instead of cod tonight. It was good, and the halibut holds together better than the cod. I had a head of regular cauliflower and a head of purple cauliflower. No taste difference, but I liked the way it came out (visually).
