On the one hand I miss having my well-stocked cave full of butternut squash and pumpkins.
On the other hand I am thoroughly enjoying all of the other vegetables that I am (ahem) forced to buy.
Like cabbage.
I love cabbage.
And cauliflower, broccoli, Brussells sprouts…. I even love boring old carrots.
But this is about the cabbage.
We normally get green or Savoy cabbage here. The white cabbage, more common in the U.S., is seen less often.

The Balsamic vinegar lends a monotone look to this easy skillet dinner. The flavor is worth it!

This Chicken, Carrot, & Cabbage Skillet is more colorful.
We got a notice from the mayor the other day. It’s time for the census.
Along with the usual bits about what the census means and why it’s important, was a notice that we could complete the census online, starting on the 19th and giving the link.
Great, I thought.
That will be easy and we don’t have to be on the look-out for the census-taker.
We have to open the gate if we are expecting someone. Most people will not open a gate and come to the house. It’s very handy to keep out proselytizing religious zealots but irritating when we forget to open it for the dog food delivery.
On the 19th we got another notice, describing how to get online.
Really?
I almost threw it away, indignantly…. But then I looked closer and it gave our unique id numbers, etc.
Yesterday I went online to fill it out.
The website was unavailble.
I tried again today. Success!
I was epecting to answer a few questions and be done in 5 or 10 minutes.
I forgot about how involved a census is.
45 minutes later, with the help of google translate, I was done.
To be fair (to me) I understood the questions but I didn’t always understand why they would ask that – so I googled to make sure I wasn’t missing something.
They sent me a gold star when I finished.
You deserved two gold stars ! Even the Australian census is lengthy and involved, heaven forbid that I ever have to complete a Moroccan one !
I accept 2 gold stars. I’m not certain which is more challenging: doing it online or in person.
Didn’t you just recently do the census? Or did time fly that fast? Maybe I’m losing my mind. Who knows?
I love cabbage. I decided to grill it finally. I learned what all the hype is about. It’s delicious! I’m not sure the Savoy would hold up as well as the white though which is most all I see here. Rarely the Savoy, but as much as I’m losing my mind, I know I’ve mentioned that in the past 😉 This recipe looks good and I can get my hands on a non-dairy sour cream substitute that should work well in place of the yogurt if I can’t find that plain. For some reason, I can’t seem to find non-dairy plain. The makers all want to stick fruit in it, which is fine if I’m having it for breakfast, but not if I want to cook with it.
Maybe I should open a tiny little non-dairy grocery store…
Time flies and it does seem like it wasn’t very long ago. I think it’s every 4 or 5 years. It’s the 3rd one we’ve done in this house and we’ve lived here 11 years.
Who wants plain when one can have fruit – and added sugar! Can you have sheep’s milk? I can get proper Greek yogurt here – made with sheep’s milk.
Or start a new business!
No sheep’s milk that I’ve ever seen here. Goat’s milk I can probably find, but not sheep. I’ve seen plain almond milk yogurt, but the almond flavor is very strong. I don’t want that. I haven’t seen oat milk plain yet. But I’m still looking.
