Hi Nancy,

 NB> I think that most people tend to adjust their cooking (and their

Do they all cook different styles or do most of them cook pretty much
the same style? Any cook like they were brought up eating?

 NB>  NB>> That works..  :)   I like getting the smaller cabbages as
 NB> well... :)

 RH> It's better for 2 people. Got a smaller one at the farmer's market a
 RH> few weeks ago but it was still big enough for cole slaw for several
 RH> meals for us.

 NB> At St.Patrick's, I'll usually buy just a half cabbage, preferably
 NB> somewhat smaller to begin with... Just enough to cook with my corned
 NB> beef and other veggies for the "feast"...  It's an annual thing for

I buy a whole cabbage, use only part for the corned beef and the rest
for cole slaw.  Doing corned beef isn't an annual thing for us, more of
a "whenever". We might get a corned beef or two to make into pastrami
tho when they go on sale.


 NB> us... usually lasts for a couple of meals, though...  :)  For slaw,

 NB> the
 NB> broccoli slaw from Wegmans produce, and add my own dressing to it, or
 NB> get the Marzetti's slaw dressing (no apple cider in that one)...

I make my MIL's version, with no vinegar either. It uses pineapple and
pineapple juice, cabbage, carrot, S&P, sugar (or stevia) and mayo.

 NB>  NB>> I don't remember... possibly...  definitely they have noodles...
 NB> :)  NB>> Our list of places is growing...  (G)

 RH> And your taste buds are learning to appreciate more of a variety of
 RH> things as well.

 NB> Oh, I was just talking about the list of places for taking you guys
 NB> to, when you are up for a visit...  :)   German was already on our
 NB> list of good things to eat...  (G)

OK, I see. Decisions, decisions......................
