Ärende: Cooking smells

 Well, that's a rather famous example, though I have
 an idea it refers to overstewed cabbage, not the
 early stages of the cooking. I don't have much
 problem with cabbage cooking...I like it most ways
 I have prepared it except some red cabbage/apple dish
 with a sweet-sour sauce. I know that's a sort of
 classic, but just doesn't do it for me. But I am
 looking forward to corned beef and cabbage and
 potatoes on St. Pat's day! Sigh. I could have
 gotten a really good buy yesterday on corned beef,
 as well as some other meats and fruits, at a local
 market I frequent on Saturdays, but found myself
 snowed in by a late winter storm! I don't know the
 official total, but I think we got over a foot of
 snow, and it was still snowing Saturday. I cleared
 the car off, and had second thoughts about driving
 while doing so, and decided I had enough food to
 last, even though I would miss my "bargains".

 CS> Snipping your recipe but it sounds devine!  I'm not as fancy with

 That wasn't a fancy soup, just hearty and intended
 to make me eat my vegetables! In fact I don't like
 the "mixed vegetables" in general, but bought these
 frozen ones on sale specifically for soup-making, as
 I'd noted even vegetables I don't like much are OK
 in canned soups, as all the flavors have melded so well.
 It worked out nicely. The Wegmans mixed vegetables
 have a nice variety. Often these mixes seem to have
 maybe corn, carrots and green beans mostly, but this
 mix had peas and limas as well. I found myself looking
 for the limas, as I do like them, and have started
 wanting them since an exchange here on them. If I can
 get out shopping, I may look for some frozen limas,
 so the next chicken soup might look more like a
 succotash variation (I love corn with chicken, too).

 CS> I'll have to remind Don that it's mine and not to let it go away <g>.

 I am sure he is aware you do good things with "knawed"
 bones.
