I purée it very thoroughly with a stick mixer, and add a generous knob of butter, cream or cream cheese, and usually some herb stock powder/cube. Doesn't exactly taste like potato mash, but it does taste a lot more like potato mash than like cauliflower.

Works very well together with any type of slow cooked meat/stew, or as a 'stamppot' (Dutch way of mixing mash with various veggies). It even works together with a bolognese type sauce you'd usually have with spaghetti!
My adventures with my neighbour-in-the-garden (
https://www.diabetes.co.uk/forum/threads/what-have-you-eaten-today-low-carb-forum.75781/post-2682287) were a week ago yesterday. All week I've been contemplating. I wanted him to now what a special experience it was for me, and how I've never felt as safe sharing a bed and cuddling with anyone as I did with him that night, despite us not being sexually or amourously attracted to eachother.
Not an easy talk, giving compliments isn't a straight forward thing, especially not if it touches on such intimate subjects, and I wanted to talk without alcohol, which would have been the easy way out.
He also got back in touch with a mutual friend he's been completely in love with for years (mutual), and who is now in the middle of a slow separation with her husband, which adds to the complicated situation.
So I picked up my courage and went.
And it went well!
I think our relationship has changed from being neighbours who much appreciate eachother (technically I'm his landlord, if somewhat illegally
![Hilarious :hilarious: :hilarious:](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
) to true friends.
We also discussed his meal plans, and mine, and decided neither of us wanted to cook. So we ordered food. There is only one place delivering where we live, so I went with a Turkish pizza, extra döner to reduce the carbs to meat ratio, and ate half of it with a wild guess at insulin dose. Looks like it was my lucky day!
Still, my carbs over the day stayed well below 150, so still on topic in this thread.
We parted with a very good long hug.
