Hi Red,

And thanks.

I had forgotten how much we like red cabbage. I have never made it though so I can't give you a recipe, for now.

But I did just pull out my faithful, old, big, red Betty Crocker. (You all know the cookbook I mean. It's the one a lot of us got for a wedding present...way back at the first wedding, maybe.)

Anyway, I have copied the "Sweet-Sour Red Cabbage" recipe and I am on my way to the store.

The test-kitchen here at Boomer-Base in Ohio will soon be open. I will let you know how this recipe turns out.

I also got sidetracked with "Chicken Cacciatore" from the same cookbook. I have made that before, but not for many, many years. I'm getting the stuff at the store for that, too.

And I know that all of you real cooks out there just cringed. But I promise that I will not serve red cabbage with chicken cacciatore. (I just love to say "chicken cacciatore" over and over. C'mon, say it with me. It's a slow day.)

I think I may have just found a forum to check pretty often. When I looked in here, I was putting off going to the grocery because I could not figure out what to cook. Sometimes that's the hardest part for me. But I checked in here and now I am off and running.
