Yes, sad to say my plans for modelling this weekend will be deferred by a week.
The local farms (especially Mennonite farmers) grow these massive (I mean 10 lbs or more) cabbages that are great for cabbage rolls. I didn't weigh this one, but it wouldn't fit in our lobster pot. I was assigned the job of taking the leaves off, which turned out to be quite a challenge. Too much of a challenge as the knife slipped and I took an all expenses paid tour of the local clinic. Three stitches and a tetanus shot later, I was back home in time to enjoy the cabbage rolls. Yummm!

Did the knife really slip? Or did the cabbage have a gun?
ReplyDeleteI prescribe a week of book reading, film watching and of course opening an closing boxes of toys...
It was vicious - I swear!
DeleteTrust an Admiral to take a knife to a gunfight! Sorry to hear of your accident, but Tim's advice has the ring od good sense to it.
ReplyDeleteHi Peter,
ReplyDeleteI hope you take your convalescence seriously - cabbages can be tricky things, especially with kings, ships, shoes and sealing wax etc....:-)
All the best,

So that was no fingers missing right? No cabbage rolls that taste a little different from the others?

DeleteNo there were no extra sources of protein in the mix!

Don't feel bad, those Mennonite cabbages can be rather wiley if cornered and threatened with dismemberment. The whole Mennonite pacifist thing is pure fiction...
ReplyDeleteI suspect it was farmed by a set of greyscaled cultists.
