It’s October, aka my birthday month ? Is it too much to ask for a month-long celebration? Where everyday you’re treated to a nice quiet dinner, and maybe a small gift awaits you in the morning when you wake up?
You don’t have to answer that ? That’s not what I really want to talk about anyway.
I want to talk about this.
I called the husband just before he left work if he could stop on the way home to get purple ornamental cabbage/kale plants. I asked for 3, to fill the 3 planters on our front stoop.
He came home with those 3 purple cabbages. The kind for cooking and eating ?
It’s possible I forgot to say “plants” or “planters” but I’m quite sure I mentioned “ornamental” ?
Regardless, he’s going to pay for it. Cabbage for dinner for the next 3 weeks!
From last week’s Fiesta
“I just know I will love Jess’ Apple Cider Pound Cake. I love apple cider donuts and look forward to them every year and a pound cake trumps donuts any day!”
“Ditto! Everything she said, up there ↑” — Angie
“These are so perfect for Halloween and everything Clare has on her page is darling!” — Mollie
“Erin’s Caramel Pumpkin Spice Cupcakes look so appealing! I just want to dive right in!” — Mollie
“I really love the simplicity of this pie. Easy enough to make on a busy day when the thought of making a pie crust deters even the most ardent baker.” — Angie

And yes, we SHOULD celebrate your birthday all month! I make my husband treat me extra nicely the entire month of September, and even nicer during my birthday week lol. I’m lucky he’s willing to stick around, really. I made him carry me around the apartment on my actual birthday hahaha.
LOL ?You crack me up! Did he really carry you around?! That’s too funny! Well, we deserve to be treated like a queen, that’s what I say!
There are worse things than three weeks of cabbage for dinner! Hope you share some inventive cabbage recipes with us. PS, Happy Birthday!
I suppose you’re right, cabbage is healthy after all. So far I’m thinking of gyoza and cabbage rolls, nothing really inventive, but I have 3 heads! Thanks for the birthday wish!
Happy Birthday Angie 🙂 Thanks for the party and feature!
I’d also like to invite you to my new linky party- – it’s live now: https://abiggreenhouse.com/the-super-fabulous-friday-linky-party-2/
Hope you can join us!
Thanks so much, Erin! Oh wow, a brand spanking new link party, how exciting! Thanks for the invite, I’ll be sure to check it out.
My birthday month, too! Yay!!??
The cabbage story made me laugh. There was a time when I made Filipino noodles (Bihon) and I cannot find the green ones. I used this – sliced as usual, and they looked like slices of dead cabbage.?
As to the husband, I have a friend that when she asks her husband to get something, it is wrong 99% of the time.??
Is that me lol! :p One day I will learn to S P E L L out E X A C T L Y what I want! Ooo, birthday month for you Jhuls – I hope you have a fab day!
Do you get what you really want after spelling it out exactly?? Hahaha
Is there a conspiracy among husbands we don’t know about?! I swear every time I ask him to shop, he either gets the wrong thing or something rotten. It’s not even a joke anymore!
awesome link up I found you through the inlinx directory
Hi, Linda, welcome to Fiesta Friday. The new InLinkz directory is kinda exciting, isn’t it. A great way to find link parties.
Lol Angie! That so made me laugh! At least cabbages keep for a long time! I thought when I first saw the photo you were going to say you had grown them! :p Not working out what we really asked for must be a husband trait! You’ve now got me thinking what I might get as I’ve just text a shopping list to hubby! Ooo, a spread out birthday over a month sounds like a great idea! Although I wouldn’t advise cake every day lol! Praying that you actually get what you want for your birthday (maybe the ornamental cabbage plants will appear then)! Thanks for co-hosting on your own – I’ll try and get my head in gear soon!!! xxx
Hey, Laurena. We should co-host soon and I think I haven’t replied your email haha!
How about next week?
That’s true, cabbages last forever. They never die! I have a hard time cooking cabbages, actually. It’s usually just something I add to stir fries or maybe soup. I like coleslaw, but my family won’t eat it! Maybe I’ll make cabbage rolls or something, we’ll see.
hi Angie
Happy Birthday month! 🙂 I usually try to make it a whole week but a month, that is just genius!
That is a lot of cabbage, how funny 🙂
Brilliant features, the witches hats and brooms look absolutely stunning!
Happy weekend 🙂 x
We usually try to shoot for a week-long celebration, especially if a birthday falls on a weekday, but I thought I’d give a month a go, hehe… Those Halloween hats and brooms are just adorable!
GREAT party as always. Thank you for the inspiring ideas and recipes. Have a WONDERFUL weekend.
You, too, Tamy. Thanks!
Thanks for hosting an awesome party! Have a wonderful weekend.
No problem, Helen. You have a great weekend!
