3. Tim Harrington is at it again.

I was first won over when he climbed the walls and shoved whole oranges into his mouth at Paris\u2019 Le Trabendo<\/a>. Then there was the show at Seattle\u2019s Graceland in which he took off all but his underwear and a towel-turban, climbed down into the crowd, and, passing me, offered the mic. And now this<\/a>: \u201cI start pretending like I can’t get out\u2014you know, it’s slippery\u2014so that I can stay there a little longer ’cause the mud felt really good. It wasn’t mud so much as like a slick clay. It felt great<\/em><\/strong>.\u201d This man is a mad genius. I watch and take notes, just in case I ever get brave enough.<\/p>\n

Caramelized Cauliflower<\/strong>
Adapted from Jim Dixon<\/p>\n

1 head of cauliflower, white or green
Olive oil
Fine sea salt<\/p>\n

Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Place the head of cauliflower on a cutting board, and slice it top-down into \u00bc-inch slices, some of which will crumble. Toss cauliflower in a large bowl with plenty of olive oil and a bit of salt, spread it in a single layer on a heavy sheet pan (or two, if one looks crowded), and roast until golden brown and caramelized, turning bits and slices once or twice, about 25 minutes. Devour.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
