REALLY, what was I thinking?... and a garden update

   I'll be the first to admit that I went a little overboard with purple cabbage this year.  I have 29 purple cabbage planted in my vegetable garden.  That 29 does not include cabbages that are planted in pots.

   I do eat cabbage, but the real reason I plant them is for the leaf and the amazing purpley-blue color.  I'd have to say that next to the eggplant's leaf, cabbage is my favorite. 

    As you can see, if it were not for the cabbage, my garden would just be an uninspiring green.

   I welcome cabbage recipes.  If you have a favorite, please let me know! I think I'm going to need any and all I can get my hands on...
