Food for Thought

Yesterday I harvested one of our huge green cabbages. The cabbage was so big, about the size of a volleyball-verging-on-basketball, that I weighed it. It weighed 7 pounds, 2 ounces. The MiL remarked that that was A.'s exact weight when he was born.

I found that inexplicably hilarious.

That gives new meaning to Cabbage Patch Kids!

Ha! That is funny.

What are you going to do with it?

Ha! I'm willing to guess that the MIL was also thinking to herself that it would've been a lot easier if she had been able to harvest A. from a field instead of bringing him into the world the old-fashioned way.

Maria: I used less than a quarter of it to make coleslaw last night. Which leaves me with about six pounds to go. And 11 more cabbages in the garden, for a grand total of 84 POUNDS of cabbage. Us? Overdo? Never.

Wow. That IS funny! And scary. That's a lot of cabbage.

Guess you have a lot of burned cabbage in your future, eh?

The boyfriend and I were just talking about Duchess' burned cabbage the other day. Time to make some!
