Painting with Friends, and Cooking Cabbage Rolls

This week some painting friends and I got together to work on our art. Here are their smiling faces, and a glimpse of what they are working on.

We had lunch (Paula Deen's Chicken Salad, but with added pine nuts, grapes, curry powder, celery and some soy sauce, mayo and lemon juice for dressing). And we drank a variation of Arnold Palmer's Iced Tea (except it was limeade and iced tea).

KnitPicks' Podcast gave this recipe for Banana Bread (in episode 98) which went well with the chicken salad, although I tried to hurry the baking time!

And for dinner last nite, the dutch oven did the cooking with cabbage, ground beef and tomatoes.The recipe is here, but you might use instant rice as a quicker alternative to cooking it on the stovetop.






Either way, it is tasty and saves heating the kitchen by putting everything in the crock pot.


It's secret ingredient is cinnamon. That spice really perks up the cabbage and beef.
