Addendum 2: My friend Masik just sent me this recipe for another cauliflower-chickpea dish that looks delicious:

- saute onions;
- add cumin; coriander, curry powder, paprika, all spice or whatever you feel like;
- add half cooked (boiled) cauliflower and cooked chickpeas;
- cook everything for a few more minutes; cool
- add chopped fresh cilantro

Yes, I would like to try it too.

Addendum 1: The onion is optional when cooking the chickpeas. But garlic is a must!

Thank you!!!! You know what was really delicious? Your bo ssam! Ok, I’ll paypal you a nickel…

Do you mean the quick-pickled cabbage-carrot-cucumber-apple thing? I let it marinade for about 2.5 hours in a mixture of 1T rice vinegar, 1t chopped ginger, 1t garlic chili paste, 1t miso paste, 1/2t kosher salt, 1t brown sugar, a few fresh cilantro sprigs & 1 tiny thinly sliced garlic clove. I added a drop of sesame oil at the end. I would like to repeat it. And take a photo.

I also need to make the cauliflower thing again, solely for the purpose of taking a more decent photo than this one…

Thank you! Sometimes I miss Ayavrik. We had some good times… Not many, but we did have some.

Bingo & bingo! Cabbage, naturally! — See upper left corner. The dough came out just beautiful. I made 2 pirogs (pies), brought them to the party, and watched them go… Will post the dough recipe shortly. It’s the recipe I always use for all the Russian-style pies; very easy to make. I have some left over in the fridge and will use it to make some “belyashi” tonight.

Happy Old New Year!
