This seems timely although I know my time zone is way ahead of most of you! Merry Crimble.

 Merry Crimble.

I loved this so much that I used it as my Christmas greeting this year. All my friends and family enjoyed it as much as I did. I did accidentally send it to a niece who is a born-again Christian (I don't quite understand this, it seems like once should be enough for anyone). She thought it was hilarious My grandson even had it enlarged poster size and hung it in his office. He works for Amazon. Thank you for the great Christmas humor.

-------------------------------------------------

3 cups all-purpose flour

1/4 tsp. Kosher salt

2 large eggs

1 tbsp. olive oil

 

---------------------------------------------------

For best results weigh the flour.

Where else would you choose to dry cabbage but on your car? Found this right outside my apartment this morning and it amused me, so...

That is amusing. Great shot composition. Imagine the sun on the dark car really heats up the drying process.  My friends used to laugh and ask why there was a tofu container on my back lawn- Taiwanese neighbor would put a treat in it and shove under hole in back fence for piggy labrador.  I've done the drying of stuff like that in the front - neighbors just shake their heads and walk on.

"Lettuce" hope a sudden wind doesn't come up or there may be a tossed salad! I know, it is cabbage but I couldn't help myself.

Don't worry. I passed by again about three hours later and although the car was still there it had been decabbaged. And there was no wind.

Whoa!. There are wells of this stuff?  Personally I hate it but there must be people who are excited to know that it can be hard in such abundance.

Pretty much. In fact her sheepish comment to reporters after this blew up was "...at least I'm pretty..."

Now that I love.  

 

Having spent most of my life as a Brunette and accidentally becoming a Blonde after a bad bicycling accident (long story),  I can attest to this reality.  Suddenly, I was 10 times prettier than I had ever been and garnered more attention than I could believe.  OK.  That was over a very long time ago....but I'll always remember it with fondness.
