October Break Alert!
Because Mary Kate is driving cross country to establish our West Coast base, and Denise is busy preserving her harvest — we’ve decided to take the month of October off from the blog until things settle down.

Unstuffed Cabbage Rolls
This summer I have also found myself with a good bit of cabbage on my hands. Since I already have a good supply of sauerkraut made up, I needed to find some other options. I canned some piccalilli. I sliced it into thick “steaks”, brushed it with minced garlic and olive oil, and roasted it.…
