Tortuga Thursday
In 2012, on the plains of Northern Arizona, two families joined forces and
began the trials and tribulations of building a small family farm with
nothing in the bank but love.
We're into our third day of rain here on Tortuga Flats Farm. It should move out tonight. We need a little rain every month for the garlic. If we get the rain, we won't need to irrigate with the drip system. Rain is so much better for crops.
Luckily, I felt good enough between the virus and the head cold to get the tree up. I even managed a few other decorations. We went simple this year with a smaller tree since Sadi is at the age she likes to redecorate the tree a few times each day. She is so much fun this year. When she saw the outside lights Pa Pa (grandpa) put up, her excitement overwhelmed her. She ran into his arms and gave him a gigantic hug.

One head cabbage, cut into strips

2 tsp dill weed
1-2 tsp cumin
Himalayan salt to taste
1/4 cup vinegar
1 1/14 cup water
3 carrots, sliced
Cabbage goes in bottom of cooker. Pour vinegar and water over it. Sprinkle all herbs and salt. Add carrots. Place roast on top. Follow the directions for your cooker and cook for 40 minutes.
We had this last night and could be the reason I feel better today!
Thanks for the recipe, will it work in a regular slow cooker? How funny that Sadi re-decorates daily, she is so cute!! Glad you are feeling better :)
ReplyDeleteI haven't tried it in a slow cooker. But I would think it would. I used to take canned sauerkraut with pork in the slow cooker and add the seasonings (not the vinegar) to tone down the sour. Tasted pretty good.
DeleteI'm sorry you're under the weather! I hope you feel better soon. And thanks for the recipe. I do love cabbage. :)
