1 tablespoon vegetable oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 pound shredded cabbage
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
Heat the vegetable oil in a wok or large skillet over medium heat. Stir in the garlic, and cook for a few seconds until it begins to brown. Stir in the cabbage until it is coated in oil; cover the wok, and cook for 1 minute. Pour in the soy sauce, and cook and stir for another minute. Increase the heat to high, and stir in the vinegar. Cook and stir until the cabbage is tender, about 2 minutes more.
We lurvs it. And since cabbage is like .33 a head, it's going into heavy lunch rotation.

Dumplings!
We watched Kung Fu Panda today and the omnipresent dumplings inspired us.
Look what we made!
I even made the dough myself. They were very tasty, even the kids loved them.
Yay us!

Whiskey update:
I find that numbing my tongue with a glass of wine first helps me appreciate the flavor. It tastes like lavendar and honey, with a quick burn at the end. Pretty good, actually, and goes well with straight parmesan cheese. I can now take a sip without making that 'bleargh' face.
I think next week we'll try 'Rebel Yell', which also made the internet list of top ten cheap-a bourbons. I like the bottle, mostly. It feeds my love of pretty glass things.

Toasted cheese
Description
This section is from the "A Bachelor's Cupboard" book, by John W. Luce(1906)
Queen Victoria's Toasted Cheese
Would not a recipe from Victoria the Good be acceptable to the loyal John
Bull? Then let it be toasted cheese from the Royal Lodge at Windsor, which is done in this fashion: Grate half a pound of cheese very fine, and add three tablespoonfuls of ale and a small glass of champagne. Mix well in a silver dish over the hot water pan for ten minutes and serve on toast. It's almost as good - not quite - as that served at " Ye Cheshire Cheese."

Which it's good...
I have many, many reasons to be happy today.
I woke up at 7 because Swiper was throwing up underneath the bed.
The may not SEEM like the best way to start your morning, but at least you know your day probably won't get any worse.
Roland had his NST and an ultrasound, and is doing fine. My very cool doctor agreed to induce/deliver him early on Friday the 13th. I still hope he comes sooner (please God), but that would be a seriously cool birthday.
We got our tax refund and paid off the Suburban! Woot, etc. It's officially ours, and we now have waaaaaay more money each month. It's been a goal for such a long time, and it's finally done. It feels good.
I also paid off that !@#$%^&*&%$#$%^&*^%$#% ticket, which is good because it was giving me gray hair. We got our car looked at, changed the oil, replaced the air filters, and the 'Service Engine' light finally went off.
Nutmeg has been parked on top of a big piece of coconut I threw in there, eating since yesterday morning. I think she's probably going to molt, which is good because she can finally grow back all her little legs that were broken. Although it might be Apple, come to think of it. They're wearing identical shells so its hard to tell.
Swiper seems to have recovered from his upset stomach and is lying contentedly on the couch with Zero.
I got new earbuds for my Ipod.
