Still experimenting with recipes here. Working on my fried cabbage. It's economical and a whole head will make two meals for us. Cabbage was 49 cents at the store this week. So, using my biggest skillet I started with frying 6-8 strips of bacon. You can chop it first then fry it. When the bacon's done, slice 1/2 a large onion & 1/2 a green pepper. Fry those in the bacon grease while you're chopping the cabbage. I coarsely diced every thing. Add the cabbage to the skillet, add garlic powder, salt & pepper & red pepper flakes. Fry until cabbage is softened & starting to brown. Enjoy!

Other half of cabbage is going to be chopped & added to mashed taters and leeks, with cheese on top.

I take a savoy cabbage and chop coarsely. Fry that with olive oil until tender. Add caraway seeds and raisins. Salt and pepper to taste.
You could add red pepper flakes for heat. A splash of vinegar. Whatever.
I like cabbage. I detest it boiled to slime.

Excellent Beef/Venison stew recipe,

Although I would reduce the salt drastically. I think they screwed the pooch on that. Teaspoons maybe.

Awesome recipe, and the red wine boosts the flavor.

For the beer bread, I think it works better in a muffin tin instead of one huge loaf.

For the record, I think it pays to sautè the veggies, prior to adding them, it brings out the flavors more.
