Darling, I seem to have this cabbage....

So, we have two heads of cabbage at home, and Sarah is urging me to palm one of them off on St. Luke's.
Last night I made braised cabbage in the style of buttered worts, and that was pretty good; should I go with that, or this recipe:

Caboches In Potage. IIII. Take Caboches and quarter hem and seeth hem in gode broth with Oynouns y mynced and the whyte of Lekes y slyt and corue smale and do þer to safroun an salt and force it with powdour douce.-- Forme of Cury

That's the ever popular Cabbage Leek and Onions Soup! I highly recommend it. I keep threatening to make it with quartered cabbages as called for instead of shredded that I usually make, but it goes so much further shredded. Maybe next time I cook for royals, I'll do the quarters for the head table...

So tell me

How long does a head of cabbage last, and what is the best way to store one? I have some leftover cooked from this past weekend to use up, and a whole head as well.

Sadly, the freezer is packed...the roomie's pre-made cookies and (for some reason) an entire frozen gallon of water take up a bit of space!

Darn, I used my leek yesterday in another soup.

But maybe we'll get another today...

I have two whole red cabbages in the crisper drawer of the fridge (we have no other cool place in this apartment) so I'm sort of mentally keeping them for when the CSA haul diminishes (or ends - in a month.)

We need to talk about money and stuff. Little details like how to get it to you and where you want to shop, do you need help finding places down here to shop, etc. Plus I have kitchen details to pass on. krista (dot) moyer (at) gmail.com
