    Crying on the subway is a rite of passage & if you have not done it—fully, sloppily, (a light weep doesnt count!)—then unfortunately you do not truly live here yet!! Do not worry there is still time!!

    No one has had a bigger glow up in the last 10 years than cauliflower. It went from being ashy broccoli to being the Mystique of vegetables, always coming at you with a new shape. You want rice? Mashed potatoes? Pasta? Cheese? A man? Low cost housing? Make it from cauliflower.
