With spring springing in both subtle and noisy ways, I would like to take a moment to appreciate one vegetable that had stood by us throughout the chill and darkness of winter.
Dear Cabbage,
Thank you. You are beautiful in your greens, purples, crinkly leaves, and smooth dense heads. You are a looker. You are so versatile; crunchy in soups, soft, sweet and resembling a perfectly wrapped gift in cabbage rolls, reminiscent of summer salads in your slaw-state. You are also SO STINKY; but I forgive you, because that scent is a constant reminder of your richness of spirit and flavor.
Although absence will certainly make the heart grow fonder, I look forward to seeing you young and re-freshed in just a few months.
XOXO
