Currently in the oven: some New Year's Eve pork and sauerkraut!

One side of my mom's family included just enough Germans trickling down the mountains from Pennsylvania way back when that some version of pork and kraut is an absolute must for the New Year. At our house, we usually got that plus the more generically Southern collard greens and black eyed peas. With the cornbread and mashed potatoes to match, respectively. (My mom also hated black eyed peas, so that generally turned into a minor side dish unless I was cooking later on, though!)

We're lucky to get one or the other. And the kraut won out. Various piggy cuts are also popular here around Christmas, so yeah.

I picked up some nice-looking ribs, froze them, but then didn't feel like messing with that. So, today it's the bony end of basically a Swedish version of a Boston butt on sale, which I cut up some before stashing in the freezer. (We ate the other half as boneless chops a few days ago.) Should work fine. My mom sometimes liked to use a huge Boston butt for it. It beats the hell out of

I have never particularly liked a more sweet-and-sour take on kraut, or caraway added. So, we're getting some more Rhineland style Weinkraut plonked on the meat instead.

Instead of mashed potatoes, I decided to take advantage of the oven going anyway and turn some baking potatoes we have into potato wedges. Because why not.

It's smelling way too good cooking by now. 😋

National Cabbage Day

Beyond the popularity of the Cabbage Patch Dolls from the 1980s and beyond, cabbage sometimes doesn’t get as much honor as it deserves. National Cabbage Day is here to change that story!

History of National Cabbage Day

Dating back at least 6000 years, cabbage is a vegetable that has origins in Asia and the Mediterranean, and acts as a staple for foods from many different cultures. Easy to grow and with many varieties, cabbage offers a hearty option for food storage over the winter time, especially in root cellars, which is probably why it can be well utilized in places that are cold and dark.

Cabbage comes in a few varieties, including green, purple, red and Napa cabbage. Though it looks a lot like lettuce, cabbage is not actually related to lettuce at all. Part of the cruciferae family, cabbage is a cousin to other vegetables, including broccoli, cauliflower and the delightful brussel sprout, which can obviously be celebrated on its own day: Eat Brussel Sprouts Day!

National Cabbage Day was founded to pay special attention to this vegetable that is especially great when enjoyed during the winter time. Perhaps that’s why the day was chosen for this month!
