How Not To Make A Cabbage Soup Dinner


Poem Artwork



Several days ago
I suddenly had a craving for
Cabbage and Tomato soup.

So, I went to Longo's to get a head of cabbage.
As I walked down the vegetable aisle,
I saw some heads of lettuce.

I told myself,
"These are lettuces, not cabbages."
I continued to walk to another aisle.

Found the cabbages and the tomatoes,
so I placed them into my cart.
Mission completed.

I brought the cabbage and the tomatoes home,
and put them into the fridge so I could
make cabbage soup later in the evening.

When it was time for me to make the soup,
I opened the fridge to look for my cabbage,
but it was nowhere to be found!

Instead, I found a head of cauliflower!
What have I done?
Did I pick up a head of cauliflower,
while in my head I was thinking about cabbage?

Oh, crap!
The thought of cabbage and tomatoes soup
had now suddenly left me!

Cauliflower soup would not taste the same!
So, I steamed the cauliflower, and
made some mashed potatoes.

I opened up two cans of Gold Seal Salmon, and
had that for dinner with my daughter.
Gold Seal Salmon has always been
my favorite Salmon, anyway!

It was a delicious dinner after all!
I reminded myself to pick up a head of REAL cabbage
the next time I shop.

IT'S A GOOD THING WHEN ONE IS AN 'INVENTIVE' COOK. MEANING....THEY CAN MAKE A MEAL OUT OF WHATEVER THEY HAVE IN THE HOUSE. THE CABBAGE SOUP, WHICH I'VE NEVER HAD, CERTAINLY SOUNDED INTERESTING BUT, BECAUSE I LOVE FISH SO MUCH...I LITERALLY 'TASTED' THAT SALMON DINNER AND IT WAS...DELICIOUS! GREAT SHARING, SANDIE...THANKS! LOVE, BLESSINGS AND FAITH...HIS+INSPIRATIONS

I like cabbage soup, especially when it's made with carrots and tomatoes and other vegetables. Your alternate meal with the cauliflowers and the gold seal salmon sounds good too. It's never a dull moment when it comes to creativity with your meals. Great job, Sandie!

Hi Ron:

Yes, I was all set out to buy cabbage and I know what cabbage looks like. I have no idea when I picked up the cauliflower I thought it was a cabbage. Hahaaha!!! Beats me!!!! My mind must have gone on vacation.

Oh, I like cabbage. It is so tasty and it adds flavour to soup and meat. Cabbage soup is very tasty when you boil it with tomatoes and onions and throw in a few pieces of chicken meat to make a soup.

Also, it makes a good meaty meal when boiled with the Cottage roll (a type of pork roll that tastes like ham). When the flavour of the cabbage gets boiled into the cottage roll it would make the meat so much tastier! It makes a great meal. We usually have that with mashed potatoes and/or green beans or carrots; and of course, the boiled cabbage too.

Sandie :)

Cabbage is one of the most basic foods there is. So inexpensive and yet so nutritious. That soup sounds wonderful but I believe when you went to buy your ingredients the cabbage was in your head. But if we opened it up, it might look more like cauliflower. ;-)

Oh, that damn moment when you thought the cauliflower was the cabbage and you brought it all the way home. Yeah, I had one of those moments too when I set out to go to the store to get one thing but only came home with another. You've described that moment so well. Great poem!
