Alexa and I have been steadfast proponents of our CSA* for many seasons now.  We just love getting that bag full of unknown farm fresh goodies.  It has been a great way to introduce us to delicious things we’ve ignored all our lives (like beets), as well as delicious things we had no idea existed (like kohlrabi).  But as the winter draws in, Alexa and I are faced with unexciting truth that not much is growing on the farms these days.  The last 2-3 bags have been nothing but mixed salad greens, kale, and the like.  Which is fine and all, but getting a little old.  I guess the farmers knew this and wanted to spice things up with our latest shipment.  Since they were stuck with giving us cabbage, they decided to give us GIANT HEAD CABBAGE!!!  Not a giant head of cabbage but giant head cabbage - seriously this thing weighs like 10lbs and is bigger than my face.  What on Earth are Alexa and I supposed to do with this thing!  It’s not like we know how to make halupki, our have enough children and grandchildren in the area that could polish off so much cabbage.  Oh well, I’m sure a solution will present itself, right Ted?
