Uh, yeah, the cabbage is only a transport mechanism for the rice & ground beef. (Or whatever is your fancy.)

Take the win.

They’re better if you make and eat them with Polka music in the background. Or foreground if you are so inclined. “Cabbage rolls and coffee! Mmm Mmm good!” -The Schmenge Brothers.

Yum! A Pocketful of Miracles!

Hope you made enough for you two to enjoy for several nights! (so the conversation continues and continues)

I admire that you made some from scratch AND from memory! That cannot have been easy, especially doing the filling AND the doughy outside! (And to make something major while depressed – a special kudos!)

Mmmm, gas pockets. Cabbage would have me barking all night.

Is there a recipe for these?

My Nana use to make things with cabbage like that, but really my only experience with it now is the occasional side of coleslaw. I applaude your wider acceptence of such things Amanda :-)

ND regional delicacy?

Mom always stuffed the cabbage leaves with a rice, hamburger and spice mixture, then put them in a large pot and covered them with a combination of tomato sauce and chunks of tomatoes and simmered them for a while. Very tasty.

One cannot have too much cabbage—at least, that’s my opinion.

The only cabbage dish I ever enjoyed were made from scratch cabbage rolls.

“But yeah, okay.” You’re just lovely! XOXO

If you ever visit my neighbourhood I’ll treat you to some home made cabbage rolls at Elena’s Country Kitchen, they used to call me “Miss DIfficulty” because of my dietary needs. Like it’s easy for me? LOL
