The trouble with cabbage soup is…

…cabbage. Have you seen how big those things are? 

Maybe it’s a cooking-for-one thing, but it’s not easy to experiment with new recipes. Once I’ve made something a few times I can modify it to a more suitable quantity, but the first time or two I cook something new I take it downstairs and get the folks there to help me eat it (they’re relatives so they can’t bitch too much—and anyway, normally it’s pretty good). But once in a while—think cabbage soup—I’m not sure getting the neighbors to eat it is such a good idea.

Cabbage, it turns out, is good4U. Lots of vitamins, and fiber too. Plus, it’s cheap. But it’s, well, huge. I walked to the grocery store this morning to buy one—a cabbage—but when I got there I chickened out. Fortunately they had kielbasa on sale. And I got some cauliflower too, which is sort of like cabbage, but not as scary.
