Big food weekend
We spent a lot of the weekend playing with food.
- Stuffed cabbage rolls: Delicious, but labor intensive. OMG makes so much food. There's an awful lot of food on a cabbage, it turns out. I can see why a Polish American friend of my parents used to make them as a party food, though--they take forever but you can make them two or three days ahead of time, they take no damage from sitting in a steam tray, and they're modular. Can be eaten one at a time on a little plate with a plastic fork.
- Vegetarian sausage: tried a new brand that was actually quite good.
- Goat cheese paneer rolled in herbs: not as tangy as expected, but seriously delicious. Dangerously delicious. The amount that five people managed to put away as pre-Easter dinner hors d'oeuvres was frightening.
- Old experiments: both the roasted cauliflower and the lemon rosemary bread are still fantastic.
- Late harvest Riesling ice cream: as mentioned before, failed to freeze. Tasty dessert sauce, though.
- Flourless chocolate cake: truffle in cake form. Fantastic. A little goes a long way. But so, so good.

...whenever I get cabbage from the CSA, it takes me FOREVER to work through it all. I still have a quarter of one in the fridge, actually.

Sweet and sour cabbage with kielbasa is really, really good. I may have a post for that up later this week, actually. And I did one on cabbage noodles awhile back, too.
...I eat a lot of cabbage in the winter. And I need to make more kimchi soon, too.
