 DS> all sorts of assistive devices.
 DS> two walking sticks that look almost like ski polls.

I'm pretty sure that the people I see doing that on icy winter
sidewalks here are using actual ski poles with sharp metal tips.
 
I also see lean fit people using them in the fall and striding
quickly. I think they may be athletic cross country skiers getting
into shape.

Speaking of fall:

In temperate climates before electric power and refrigeration
cauliflower headed and matured in late fall but got eaten quickly or
pickled as it didn't cellar as well as green, red and white
cabbages.

Here's how it gotten eaten elsewhere.

MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.06

      Title: Karnabeet Makly (Deep-Fried Cauliflower)
 Categories: Appetizers, Middle east, Snacks, Vegetables
      Yield: 6 servings

      1 lg Cauliflower
      1 ts Salt
    Oil for deep fat frying
    Taratoor Sauce

  Cut away the thick stem at the base of the cauliflower and remove the
  green leaves.  Break the florets off the center core and cut the core
  into 1" cubes.  Wash the florets and cubes under cold running water.
  In a 3 to 4 qt enameled or stainless steel saucepan, bring 1 qt of
  water and the salt to a boil over high heat. Drop in the cauliflower
  and cook briskly, uncovered, for 10 minutes, or until the pieces are
  tender but still somewhat resistant to the point of a small, sharp
  knife. Drain in a sieve or colander. In a heavy 10" to 12" skillet
  with a deep frying thermometer or in an electric skillet, heat 1" or
  2" of oil until it reaches a temperature of 375F. Pat the cauliflower
  completely dry with paper towels, and a dozen or so pieces at a time,
  fry them in the hot oil for about 15 minutes, or until golden brown
  on all sides. As they brown, remove them with a slotted spoon and
  drain them on paper towels. They may be served hot or at room
  temperature covered with taratoor.

MMMMM

Tarator, taratoor, taratour is a garlicky tahini (sesame paste)
sauce. A simple version is mixing:

3 tb Tahini
1/4 c  yogurt
1 ts Pressed garlic soaked in
1/2 ts Fresh lemon juice and
sprinkled with parsley

Garlic mayo would be good too.

Cheers

Jim
