Ok, just tried the cabbage rolls. Good, but lacking some spices that
I would have added if it was for me - oregano, thyme, parsley, basil.
Sadly, my daughters' husbands are not that into being creative - bland
seems to work for them! And since I have three daughters that are
breast feeding, cabbage is probably not an option. But now I know
what to do with the remaining leaves! Off to the store to buy more
ground meat..........e.
