a couple weeks ago, i had a real, honest to god crisis. I sobbed all the way to the grocery store, where i discovered that i had been rendered absolutely incapable of buying food with any kind of meaningful pattern or purpose.

I walked through the store and blindly threw into my cart anything that: 1)was slightly visible through tears, 2)wasn't near people. I don't know if anyone has noticed, but people are near all the good stuff in the store... so, no milk, cheese, good salad things, or eggs.

I wound up with stale bread containing caraway seeds (which i hate), lots of canned stuff (which i never buy. i like fresh food), some jam, and... a cabbage.

I've gotten over the crisis, but i am stuck with this stupid cabbage. I've been eating it for weeks. I tried to make soup. I used it in salads. It's currently simmering in a turmeric/cumin/onion/ginger indian curry thing.

I still have half a cabbage left. It's the vegetable that never ends.

Broccoli? i never have enough broccoli. Same with zucchini and cucumbers. Why can't this happen with (*drool*) artichokes?

I suppose i could throw it out, but i feel like that would make me lose. Lose what? i have no idea... lose to whatever cosmic forces were kicking my ass that day.

so.

does anyone know a good way to cook cabbage?

also... i find myself desperately in need of some rolling stones. Where did this come from?

addendum: i must quote angelina, because (as always), she's hit the nail on the head:

i could entertain a lot of silly little thoughts right now if i were the type to do that kind of thing.

..anymore.
