We learned today that when one steams purple cauliflower, the water in the lower pan ends up a vibrant blue-green color, which is somewhat disconcerting. Interestingly, the water that condenses around the edges of the upper pan is a more understandable purple.

If anyone can offer an explanation of this phenomenon, I'd love to hear it. It doesn't have to be an accurate explanation, or even more than passingly associated with reality. (Although perhaps I should be inventing my own explanation; after all, I have a Master's Degree... in Science!)
