We had another gorgeous walk/run in Frick Park. It was bright and brisk, the trees still hanging onto their leaves, and there was Gretchen, back on her own two feet.
Thank you, Janet, for the terrific spread with sweet and savory offerings. Maddie, you were an all-around Good Dog.
It was much more fun talking about food than Trump, so food dominated our conversation. For instance: we talked turkey. Virginia cook the turkey in a 20-year-old clay pot, where it is steamed in apple cider and butter. Want to try the cheesecloth soaked in butter? That's Linda's method. Deep-fat frying in the backyard? Not sure anyone was actually recommending this.
We talked cranberry sauce: the old-fashioned slimy kind, marked with ridges from the can had a fan (Janet) Only Jane endorsed Mama Stamberg's Pepto-Bismol-colored cranberry sauce.
We talked cabbage! Janet got a cabbage from her CSA, and in extremis, cried, "What can I do with a cabbage the size of my head?"
We were ready to help.
Janet retrieved the cabbage. Friends: it was the size of her head.
We extolled the virtues of cabbage and offered a recipe. We then moved from green cabbage to green paint chips and weighed in on the perfect green for Janet's kitchen renovation.
