Cheese-topped Cauliflower

I think one of the cant phrases of our day is the familiar one by which we express our permanent want of time. We repeat it so often that by the very repetition we have deceived ourselves into believing it. It is never the supremely busy men who have no time. So compact and systematic is the regulation of their day that whenever you make a demand on them, they seem to find additional corners to offer for unselfish service. I confess as a minister, that the men to whom I most hopefully look for additional service are the busiest men.

INSTRUCTIONS

The Cook & Kitchen Staff are offering you four different Thanksgiving
Day Dinner menus during November, and we're now in the middle of the
side dishes for our final recipe collection, featuring a  "Thanksgiving
Day Dinner on the Farm."  Fresh cauliflower is naturally abundant this
time of the year, as its  harvest peaks during October and November.
Given that you're  celebrating a day of thanks historically rooted in
the fall harvest,  this member of the cabbage family makes for a
perfect addition to  your holiday feast.  In a large pot over a
high-heat setting, place the rinsed and cleaned  whole head of
cauliflower in just enough lightly salted water to  cover the head.
Bring the water to a boil and reduce the heat to medium. Cover and
cook until just tender, about 20 to 30 minutes. Do not overcook. It's
fine for the florets to be a bit firm, as the vegetable will continue
to cook for several minutes after it's lifted from the boiling water.
Remove from heat and drain well.  Place the cauliflower in a shallow
baking dish. In a small bowl,  combine the salt, mayonnaise, mustard,
and cheese. Spread the mixture  over the top of the cauliflower and
bake at 325-F degrees for about  20 minutes, or until the cheese is
melted, but not yet browned.  Carefully remove the cauliflower from the
baking dish and place whole  on a serving platter surrounded by fresh
herbs or a ring of fresh  green peas, if so desired.  Posted to
