Cauliflower crust pizza

http://www.theluckypennyblog.com/2013/02/the-best-cauliflower-crust-pizza.html

I was surprised how well the cauliflower crust pizza turned out. The crust was pretty nice, though a bit soggy in the middle. I'd definitely do this again--probably just trying to thin the middle of the pizza crust a bit more or cooking a bit longer. There's probably enough food here for both me and my wife. The only problem will be finding pizza toppings we can both agree on.

Hacker School Soylent v1

This recipe is adapted from cookingfor20's Hacker School Soylent recipe.

Results
I've been drinking the Hacker School Soylent recipe for 2 weeks now and have been very pleased with the way my body is responding to it. I've started a blog about my experiences here.

Soylent, for those who don't know, is an attempt to make a cheap, complete nutrition drink. They are currently expecting to sell their first batches by the end of the year. The original posts, however, have led to a vibrant do-it-yourself community, with people writing their own recipes. The Hacker School Recipe was open sourced and particularly well received. I decided to try that on my own and will modify it for my own needs over time.

Warning: You really should know what you're getting yourself into before trying something like Soylent. Don't do anything stupid and drink at your own risk.

* The Ground Flax and the Oat Flour can be had more cheaply by buying a 25lbs bag directly from Bob's Red Mill. This is quite a commitment, though.

In each case I've linked to the product on Amazon, but I've indicated where I've been able to obtain the product most cheaply.
