My mother cooks something with red cabbage, she starts by frying bacon and I'm not sure but I think maybe onions, together. Then in goes the shredded cabbage and the water, I think, she cooks it till almost done then adds red wine vinegar I think and sugar. My sister-in-law goes nuts for it, takes the leftovers home, and asks for it whenever dinners are planned. I never liked it all that much but we had it probably once every couple of weeks when I was a kid. And spinach, with hard-boiled potatoes and eggs with runny yolks. What was that about? My parents were very poor as kids so that was probably considered a king's meal, even when I was a kid food was very guarded at our house. You never opened the fridge or a food cupboard on your own, ever. And there was no such thing as a cookie jar. Things are so different for kids, nowadays. Although I still try to keep a lid on things like cookies and sweets and breads, they can help themselves to almost anything else.
How many children do you have happyflower?
