Fuller’s Cabbage
Lightdance, November 24, 2011
I will start this cabbage cooking in a little while. It will stink up the whole house as usual. It’s really worst during the first hour or so that it cooks, and then it blends in with all the other aromas. I try to time the cooking so that it smells the worst as everyone arrives, so I can hear all the expressions of horror at the aroma that greets their noses.
I’ve actually never liked this dish, but I take a bite to go along with my musings about whatever ancestor thought this up in the first place, how in the world it became an enduring tradition, and why I continue to cook it on Thanksgiving.
Happy Thanksgiving! And, not to be rude, but I don’t want to hear anyone’s memories about the delicious smell of pumpkin bread or pecan dressing baking away in the oven.
Was driving over in Ann Arbor on Thanksgiving day, Noticed an unusual order near old Allmendinger park area. Wasn’t the cabbage by any chance was it. ? If there is any way we could get that aroma blowing into the Ohio State sideline area. The game would be over very quick!!
Happy Thanksgiving!!
Ha, ha! Let’s hope the Ohio State side is where the big stink is coming from tomorrow. Hope you had a great Thanksgiving. @Steve
