braised cabbage
garden to table
i hope that everyone had a great thanksgiving. i know that we are probably all pretty stuffed so i thought i would post a light recipe.
last week we got 2 heads of cabbage from a local farm so i decided to make this side. it is inspired by a dish made by our local neighborhood BBQ; white tiger. when you cook cabbage like this it has so much flavor and is really light.
slice a head of cabbage inti 1/2 inch slices. heat up 1 Tbsp of olive oil on high. a cast iron works good for this dish. toss in the cabbage and cook until it browns a bit. you might have to do this a couple of rounds, depending on the size of your cabbage. then toss with a little salt and pepper and you’re done! a simple side.
four courseman…the cooking channel
instant inspiration
a while ago we did a little story on the four courseman. to refresh…the four coursemen are a group of athens folks that started a supper club style restaurant here in town. their menu is always inspired by fresh and local food and the ambiance in the old southern shotgun is unlike any other restaurant.
this past week a pilot of the show “four courseman” aired on the cooking channel. needless to say, we are thrilled at the possibility of this show continuing and have heard nothing but good things. good luck!

travels in the south land
in the country
this past weekend, i drove down to thomasville to visit my friend nan, and do some christmas shopping in her cute store, firefly. thomasville is about as far south as you can go in georgia. to get there, you drive past fields and fields of brown and white cotton, extensive pine woods with their low undergrowth all glowing in fall colors. you’ll see vibrant green feilds of cabbages and collards,and people on the side of the road selling sweet potatoes off the back of truck.
while there, i took a couple of woods walks to listen to the sounds and see the beauty there. here’s some of what i saw…
