OT:Re: Charles...

Charm... If you are referencing the palitable Polish pleasure in a tomato base, then I must admittedly testify as to my love for you and (kneeling) ask for your hand in marriage.

Sherry, my recipe is much more simple, no bacon, and we use tomato soup instead of sauce, no pork, just beef and no chili sauce. I'm spoiled!

Re: Charm you certainly know how to get my attention!!!!

I'd love a copy of the recipe. In Russian we call them golubtzi but they were always wonderful. I haven't had stuffed peppers in decades (literally). Thanks

Re: Yum, You Guys Are Making Me Hungry For...

It seems that while I tried to escape the cold and wet of the Northern California coast by slipping down to the Southern California beach cities for a couple of weeks I brought the cold and damp with me. Today's a great day for some stick-to-your ribs comfort food like stuffed cabbage rolls or peppers. Unfortunately you don't find stuff like that on many restaurant menus in our area. All you guys are really making me long for some good old fashioned home cooking, I may have to make something for dinner tonight besides reservations!

Re: Yum, You Guys Are Making Me Hungry For...

ok Charles...

1 lb ground beef
onion chopped
salt & pepper
cooked rice
cut half head of cabbage into pieces
2 cans tomato soup, 1 can water.

In your casserole dish layer the botton with the chopped cabbage, form meat with onions, rice and spices into meatballs, salt, pepper, tuck into cabbage and pour the tomato soup over all. Cover dish with tin and bake on 350 for about 1.5 or so, take off to brown for another half hour. Grab a big French roll, butter and mmmmmm.....I'm going to Heaven in 2 hours

Simpler yet

My Polish friend who was the world's worst cook except for her Gaulbki casserole which was delicious. She used the bagged shredded cabbage from the grocery store and didn't cook the rice just added more water. Her nick name for it was Lazyman's Gaulbki!

Thge excess 40 lbs on my thighs is from

my husband's Romanian cabbage rolls.First he sours the whole heads of cabbage in a 50 gallon wooden barrel( in the out building thank goodness). then makes the rolls and sauerkraut. No tomatos for the stoic Transilvanians just plenty the that sauerkraut and ham hocks for flavor. Cornmeal layered with lots of buttery cheese as a side. I've died and gone the gastronomical heaven.
