And, please don’t tell me you don’t need luck. We all do.
So, let’s be a lucky soldiers in this life. Let’s make the Sour Cabbage Rolls.
We need the following ingredients:ground meat (beef or/and pork), rice, onions, salt and ground black pepper.
500 gr ground meat (beef or/and pork)
1/3 cup brown rice
1 chopped large onion
1/2 tsp salt
1tsp ground black pepper
Instructions:
You can find the sour cabbage heads at Safeway or Superstore.
Remove and separate cabbage leaves from head.Cut the thick root on the back of the each leaf because of the easier folding.
Then, wash them in cold water or follow the notice below. (Please do not skip this step.)
Very Important: Immerse all cabbage leaves in cold water for 1/2 hour or longer because you need to wash off the salt so cabbage rolls are not too salty.
Now, let’s make filling.
Mix thoroughly 500 gr ground meat, 1/3 cup brown rice, 1 chopped large onion, 1/2 tsp salt and 1 tsp ground black pepper.
Take one by one cabbage leaf and on each put the meat filling (about 1 TBSP) and roll cabbage rolls and place them in suitable cooking pot.

When your dish is full of cosily placed rolls pour water over all, so the cabbage rolls sinks.
At the beginning cook on a high temperature until water boils.
Then continue cooking at medium temperature for 3 hours.
It is December 23 in my life. The most joyful day of the year!
Or it would be if some of the 5 star cookies did not decide to act like a special snowflake and yell
at me:” No cupcakes, we are 5 star cookies! No cupcakes! NO, NO, NO!”
I started to speak: “Well, we are open minded people and the blog. And we want to be open to all other sweet possibilities.”
My 5 star cookies started to yell: “No cupcakes. Just NO! ”
You are not my president-they continue to yell at me.
At that point my brain started to boil. Yes, my brain. The part that control my action says:-Go and get your powerful Abraham Lincoln suit and talk to them.
And so I did!
“Dear 5 star cookies,
I AM YOUR PRESIDENT! LIKE IT OR NOT. I AM YOUR PRESIDENT!
You will be with me. So be sure you get and repeat the message!
I am with her and I am your president! And we will make this blog great again….with cupcakes!
Even Fidel Castro would be proud of me if he was alive. Since he is not the Universe is my witness.
Now since I deliver the message,my cookies and I are baking the cupcakes. Together. In peace.
