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!
