The first thing is to see if you have any veggies in your fridge or share that would enhance a cabbage salad. Peeled and grated kohlrabi, radishes, peppers, pears, apples, raisins,&nbsp;and&nbsp;nuts all go well in slaw. Herbs like cilantro, parsley or chives make a good garnish.<\/p>\n<p>For the dressing the possibilities are pretty endless. We often use either an Asian dressing (sesame oil, rice wine vinegar, honey, ginger), a Mediterranean one (olive oil, white wine vinegar, honey, garlic), or a mayo style (mayonnaise, white vinegar, honey, ground black pepper). <\/p>\n<p>For the first time since early March, Rebecca and I were off the farm overnight. We took a two evening rest in St. Joseph, Missouri. It was well worth the journey as we stayed amused and relaxed.<\/p>\n<p>Our visit to the Glore Psychological Museum included a&nbsp;look at the impressive vegetable&nbsp;production, storage and processing operation of the former <em>State Lunatic Asylum No. 2<\/em>. As the copy below shows, they weren&#8217;t small potatoes (the facility housed 3,000 people). From what I can tell from the lower photo, they even fermented cucumbers in quantity.<\/p>\n<div style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/3.bp.blogspot.com\/-i6KegCvtP5w\/UktxMhpIFgI\/AAAAAAAACyY\/nXn3Btlyqc0\/s1600\/034+(3)+(1024x576).jpg\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" border=\"0\" height=\"225\" src=\"http:\/\/3.bp.blogspot.com\/-i6KegCvtP5w\/UktxMhpIFgI\/AAAAAAAACyY\/nXn3Btlyqc0\/s400\/034+(3)+(1024x576).jpg\" width=\"400\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/3.bp.blogspot.com\/-QPxsTNLJ2g8\/UktwG8wjFVI\/AAAAAAAACyQ\/GnIpocPXEyM\/s1600\/glore+pickles++093013+%25281024x576%2529.jpg\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" border=\"0\" height=\"225\" src=\"http:\/\/3.bp.blogspot.com\/-QPxsTNLJ2g8\/UktwG8wjFVI\/AAAAAAAACyQ\/GnIpocPXEyM\/s400\/glore+pickles++093013+%25281024x576%2529.jpg\" width=\"400\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Time for fall cabbage this week.
