Cabbage, and He liked it!

We were very busy yesterday and after dinner and a little TV, I went to bed. Dinner was very good even though Jim was leery. To me this is a comfort dish. In Polish egg noodles are called Kluski. When I was young they were often made by hand. I did not know that the rest of the world was calling them egg noodles. When we went to the store we looked for Kluski, and the package was so labeled.

3. Stir the noodles into the cabbage and add the sour cream. Cook 5 minutes longer, stirring frequently.
I served this dish with Beer Brats. Jim actually liked dinner.
Before dinner we had appetizers. We bought delicious cheddar at Wegmans and I made a new type of guacamole. It came out of an issue on the stands now of Woman’s World Magazine in your grocery store checkout line. This is the best guacamole ever. It is light and has a very refreshing taste.
