By popular demand, here is the recipe for cauliflower patties (with some comments from the peanut gallery, AKA ME!) as mentioned in the Smoktech Telescope review!

Do you have any idea how difficult it was to get this recipe?  Italian Moms don’t measure ANYTHING!  They just do it all by taste, feel, and by using The Force.

Trust me, even if you HATE cauliflower, you will love these… and if you don’t… taste is subjective!  🙂

MOM BUSARDO’S CAULIFLOWER PATTIES

1. 1 firm head (is there anything better?) of cauliflower…broken apart and most of the stems removed from the flower, but leave about ½” of stem….Discard the core
2. Steam… until extremely tender or boil…I personally steam it (then why would you even mention boiling?)
3. Place in colander and  cool…… squeeze out excess water
4. Place in a large bowl and add:  1 egg, about 1 cup of bisquick, salt, pepper and a handful (see, I told you they don’t measure!) (about ½ – ¾ cup)of Italian, grated cheese, ( locatelli romano)
5. With impeccably clean hands (very good Mom, you should mix juice!) ….just smush (that is a technical cooking term) everything together… If some of the stem pieces seem too big, just cut them up….If it seems too dry, just add one more egg…If you want to taste test…put some on a microwave oven plate and just heat up for a few seconds, just to be sure of the seasoning (How are they supposed to know what it’s supposed to taste like if they’ve never tasted them before? And “seems to dry??”  You should have supplied a technical support number!)…..I just taste, test it raw, been doing that for years, (again, they do everything by taste!)…. Hasn’t killed me yet (Phew!)

Now, these can be fried..(that was my mom and grandma’s way, back in the day)….. but now I generously spray a cookie sheet, & I mean very  generously with Pam….. (trust me… fry them, they’re better that way, but if you must…)

Now there is no way to measure, cause I just drop them off a tablespoon and press down slightly with a fork….You can see in the picture (great, now I have to supply a picture)  they are not too big and not too small, I would say about 3” across . Place in 400 degree oven…..for about 20 min. or until nice and golden brown, flip and do other side….when that side is done, remove from tray, re-spray and start all over again…..but with one recipe (double the recipe, you’re going to want more!) you should fit them all on one cookie sheet.  I hope you all enjoy one of Our Family Favorites!

I would also like to take this  opportunity to thank all of you Vapers out there for the support and kind words everyone has to say about Our Son Philip (oh God, here we go) ….He definitely is a person who jumps into opportunities that he enjoys with all his heart and soul…..I might also add….he is truly entertaining (I’m blushing)…sometimes a bit  long winded (MA!), but that’s just him being him….With such an awesome following, it’s really very easy to see why he enjoys what he does  so very much…..Happy Vaping Everyone…I might say….I too have been vaping since July!!! I don’t know all the technical terms, and I’m constantly reminded to read the necessary topics (you could watch a review or two!)…..but…..I don’t!!!!

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to All…

Thanks Ma! Love you! Now go watch some of my videos and learn the terms!  🙂

A PBusardo Review – Sigelei Z-Max

Vendor Link: VaporHeads

Post Review Follow-up:

• The finish on it, although stainless, does pick up tiny scratches quite easily.
• 1/7/13 – My original Sigelei Z-Max V1 (no eGo cone threading) bit the dust during the Battle Of The Bottoms for reasons unknown.  RIP.  Note that it had very little hours on it.

love your video reviews! I am in NY also (near Binghamton). Dec 17th will
mark 2 years for me off cigarettes. I have several mods as well as a 510 kit (saving
as a backup). I also have 2 eGo1000ma batteries. They been working for me for almost
2 years now but they are getting old so I just purchased 2 eGo twist batteries. Have
not used them much yet but like the liitle I have vaped with them.

I was a smoker for 38 years and tried to quit many times during that time. I tried
the patch, the gum, and the drugs…….none worked and the drugs made me feel
strange so I stopped them (Wellbutrin). I purchased an ecig because I was wowed by
the idea of an electric cigarette…..just had to try one! I had no intentions of
quitting smoking…..it just happened!

My doctor is VERY happy with my results. I have PKD (kidney disease) and she had
been wanting me to quit forever! My blood pressure dropped and the docs had to
change my meds! I did not realize how much the cigarettes were affecting me! I have
cut back the nicotine to 6mg. I am a musician and singer and have seen my vocal
range increase and the strength of my voice increased.

Keep doing your very entertaining reviews! You are good at it.

I have a Youtube page if you wanna hear an oldfart play guitar and sing.

I can’t work so I got serious about music. Used to work in the engineering field.
Math! Music is math….so it was a natural swap! I own 9 guitars now and make music
with many friends.

Thanx again for your videos!

You may know him CJ The Vaping Monkey, an E-Cig Reviewer, a sexy Filipino, a member of the Vape Team, or Dimitri’s bitch.
I know him as a friend, a hell of a nice guy, and a fun guy to hang around.

I originally thought he was coming out with a juice line, but it looks like he’s taken the full plunge head first into vendorville. Here is his new site and it looks terrific!

VaporVenue

I wish him the best in his new endeavor! Look for a review from me soon on his Monkey Juice!

hey phil just wanted to say i love your website. Iam a 36 year old male
who has been smoking analogs since i was 18. A few days ago i decided i had enough
and decided to quit tobacco. A friend told me about gotvapes.com i purchased a ego
twist with a vivi nova. After i had purchased it i was looking at there website
when i saw a review you did so i watched it i have been hooked ever since. For the
last 2 days(because my days off are mondays and tuesdays) i have been watching
reviews on your website non stop. I can proudly say that i havent had a anolog cig
in 2 days!!!! If your gonna be a bear be a grizzly right? Anyway i figure
immersing myself in this lifestyle would be the best way to learn, and occupie my
time which would keep me from smoking. So far so good . Seriously i am not blowing
smoke up your ass (haha) i really love your reviews because there so in depth and i
especially like the tech portion. I watched your review on juice from vapor society
and afterwards put in an order and used your name as the referral. Anyway keep it
up. I think you are doing a great thing.

Looks like this is going to be a hot one. News on it is already spreading across the groups.

YES! I have one coming for review!

It’s called the eVic for Vapor Intelligent Cigarette. Variable voltage, large capacity battery, new user interface, high quality screen, and the ability to upload your vaping “diary”, if you will, to your computer.

direction of vapor intelligent electronic cigarette battery.

Just heard about a new e-cig auction site that it up and running.

Could be helpful to you. Check it out: CoreVape

Last week I posted what I thought was the least expensive Genesis style RBA atty I’ve seen. This week, thanks to Sheldon, I’ve seen cheaper.

It’s the Vulcan – Rebuildable Atomizer Tank available from Sure Vapes!

Again, no experience with this one. Just a heads up.
