Deb's notes - My husband loves this recipe. A kitchen gadget that comes in quite handy for cauliflower is a potato ricer. (See a picture of one here: http://makeashorterlink.com/?U3901274A) This is the Oxo brand that I bought at Bed, Bath & Beyond for $20 (use those coupons they're always sending us for extra savings). I put the cooked cauliflower in the ricer and apply gentle pressure to squeeze the water out prior to mashing them or using the food processor. The ricer is also great for squeezing the water out of thawed, frozen spinach. I love this ricer - it's worth the extra money because of its design, all stainless steel and it's comfortable handles.
