My diet preference calls for a steady supply of cabbage for albondigas soup,
cole slaw, cabbage rolls and cabbage stir fry. I typically have a ready
supply of cole slaw for snacks.

Well, my local Albertsons gouges me on the cabbage--89 cents a pound. So,
I've been going to Food 4 Less and getting it at half price.

The other day, I bought two giant cabbages at the Wilson Park Farmer's
Market for $1.50 each. Each head was just a little smaller than a
basketball with plenty of green leaf on the outside and tender white leaf
in the center.

Whenever I'm eating coleslaw or cabbage soups, weight maintenance or loss is
much easier because cabbage is so filling, and doesn't contribute to weight
gain.

Sometimes I think that my body expends more energy than it derives from
eating cabbage.
