My brother tells me he no longer knows what's going on in my life because I'm never on Twitter anymore. Which is true. For reasons I don't understand, I just got bored with Twitter.

It isn't owed to some scheme for self-improvement: I didn't make some big decision that Twitter was a waste of time and life or anything. I just got bored.

However, I've been getting a number of emails from people who, I guess, are starting to worry.

Especially since they've also received no newsletter recently. But don't worry. There is no cause. We're working hard to debut the new @cosmo_globalist website. All is well.

And for those of you who've missed all the high quality Claire Berlinski Twitter content, here's a cooking tip. I discovered this last night. It was a revelation.

See, I had this head of cauliflower that had been sitting in the vegetable bin for days.

I knew I had to either cook it or throw it out. But I couldn't figure out what to do with it. So I figured I'd do the obvious: roll it in some olive oil and roast it.

I contemplated the cauliflower in its pan with quiet gloom. It looked so boring.

What could I do to improve it, I asked?
Then my eye alighted on a head of garlic. "Garlic, that's the ticket," I thought. I figured I'd roast the garlic, mash it with some olive oil, and spread it on the cauliflower. So I put the whole head of garlic in the oven.

And then--this is the good part--I forgot I was cooking it. The cauliflower and garlic roasted side by side for nearly an hour.
Then I smelled something burning, suddenly remembered, jumped up, and ran to the kitchen.

I figured I'd burned the garlic to a crisp and reduced the cauliflower to mush and I'd have to throw everything out.
But no! It was only the papery skin of the garlic that was burnt. To my astonishment, the cauliflower was perfect---and *delicious.*

It wasn't overcooked at all: It was just crispy. I didn't know cauliflower could get crispy if you cooked it long enough, did you? And it was completely permeated with the smell of garlic.

It was the most delicious cauliflower I've ever had. I didn't need to make a paste out of the garlic at all, so I saved that for the salad, where it was also pretty tasty, but nothing like that cauliflower.

If I'd served this cauliflower to you at a dinner party, you would have raved about it and asked me for the recipe. Yes, cauliflower--the ultimate nothing vegetable. That good.

So good I may try it again tonight.

So, as you see, I am absolutely fine. My life continues much the same agreeable way whether or not I tweet about it.

If anything goes wrong, I'll let you know.
