The East: Jenny (Daftly Smitten) used up her monster head of cabbage to make dishes that will feed them for weeks to come (some went in the freezer). First up was a rustic cabbage soup with carrots, rutabagas, onion, garlic and sweet Italian sausage. Next was a recipe for braised cabbage with apple and mustard. It [...] Where has everyone gone?

[...] The East: Jennie (Daftly Smitten) had an odd week due to all of the snow but still managed both Bittman’s polenta pancakes with local strawberry syrup (yum!) and Potatoes Anna.
