In light of the fact that tomorrow (Sunday) is the 4th of July (Independence Day in the USA) and that outdoor grilling and picnicing are the widely accepted norm, ...I'll Bring the Coleslaw!!!
Garden Tour: Whidbey Island, June 26th
A huge cabbage grown with other organic vegetables in raised beds in the center of the Lewis and Beckman Garden.

OMG! It's a man-eating cabbage! Good grief, that thing looks huge! You could make a year's worth of slaw with that thing! What a place that must be! Great photo, Bill!

I've seen cities smaller than this cabbage! That's gonna be a lot of Coleslaw! What a picture! I love the cabbage texture and the quality of light you caught! Those veins are amazing, but plants always have such amazing veins, don't they? The background digifiddling gives this a nice painted quality, especially since the dominant background color is a nice, warm red: the perfect compliment to the cabbage green in various shades. Nice. Quite nice! And it actually gets me to thinking of those late nights in Prague, when I'd go to a "non-stop" i.e. 24-hour kiosk and get the local version of what was supposed to be a hamburger; it was a pork patty, with shredded cabbage on top, garnished with ketchup and wedged between two vaguely chewy buns. Good stuff, especially after a night of consuming mass quantities of...well...more golden colored good stuff, though quite a lot of it was also clear and nicely chilled. I love it when photos evoke memories like that, and even without those memories evoked, this is a brilliant shot!

Wow, what a vast wing span on those magnificent cabbage leaves in this cool garden shot, Bill. Great color. That may be cabbage, but it sure looks like Swiss Chard to me.

I LOVE this shot!! And it's because when I used to grow a big garden, I also had cabbages the size of VW bugs!! Cabbage loves fog, drizzly skies, and they never complain about being cold. They last and last, until you hope to never see another one. Kinda like zucchini, but much politer!!!

Wanna know my fav way of eating cabbage? You take a cabbage and cut it in quarters, cutting out the core. (This would be a normal size cabbage, btw.) You steam the cabbage until it's just cooked but still a bit crisp. While that's cooking, you take a cube of butter, melt it in a pan with some herbs, and saute a pound of mushrooms, maybe with a bit of balsamic vinegar for good measure. Then you take the cabbage and put it on a big plate with the outside leaf down. Pour a quarter of those mushrooms (with all that butter) over the cabbage so the butter seeps down between the cabbage leaves. Oh man ... that's some GOOD stuff!!
