Pretty cold this morning with temperatures well under the freezing mark. There was frost for a lengthy amount of time on the various vehicles parked on the road. It has warmed up slightly, but nothing to get excited about.
This meant I stayed home (yippee) another no spend day and one where I did manage some batch cooking. One batch will be eaten tonight, but the curry and the remaining stew will be frozen and eaten later on.
I was asked by a few of you what Cabbage Bread is. Well think of pizza pockets but made with bread dough, filled with a mixture of cabbage and ground beef, seasoned with salt and pepper. The bread dough is rolled out into squares, the filling put in and the edges pinched together in a square bun shape. These are baked and when cooked put in a large pot for a bit to soften the crust slightly. I then package them up for the freezer. This is also something my German grandmother made.
I am actually considering making my own pizza pockets in a similar manner only using a pie crust type of covering. We shall see what I end up doing.
Planning happened today on the oven mitts. I just need to figure out how I can manage to get 2 pairs of double oven mitts out of this fabric, and find my bias binding. Once the planned layout is fixed in my mind I will do the quilting and then cutting and sewing of them. With any luck I may be able to get those done by the end of the month and another project off my list.
Lately, each time I go into the sewing/craft room I do a little pick up. Gradually things are being put away and plans made for next months projects are taking place as well. I might even have a few planned for December. Slightly smaller ones that do not take up a great deal of room and can be done quickly while getting the last minute Christmas baking completed.
Bought this little lantern at the beginning of October and have just got it working.
It works like a charm and I am going to purchase another one or two the next time I go shopping along with more small propane cylinders for the camp stove. Probably a few more candles as well. Candles can be used for heat as well as light.
Everybody have a wonderful evening.
God bless.
The cabbage bread sounds yummy. I make pizza pockets - they are so good to have on hand in the freezer. A quick bite and filling.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Cheryl, the cabbage bread sounds delicious. 😋
ReplyDeleteWe have two of those lanterns that we use when we lose power here. They are a real blessing to have on hand. Getting the oven mitts done before the end of the month will be good progress on your goals. I’d love to see a picture of them when you’re done if possible.
I've made pizza pockets before and I used pizza dough. Basically it is a calzone. I find it has too much dough. I'd rather have a pizza. Im not certain how it would work with pie dough..but why not.
ReplyDeleteThe scraper was used here this morning. :(
