    Tonight is a riff on a NYT Cooking recipe for caramelized cabbage with pasta. The biggest difference is in caramelizing the cabbage. It cannot be done in 10 minutes! It takes at least 45 minutes.

    Tonight we are having Ms. Jan’s chicken pot pie for supper. Cool and rainy all day here today. Brown ‘n serve rolls to go with.

    It’s a tumbler of Knob Creek kinda day for me, Ms. Jan will stick with her chilled wine.

    Life is good in Gator Nation!

    Tonight Ms. Jan decided to do a trial run on her chicken’n’dumplings ahead of Christmas. Perfect weather for it-43*/cloudy/windy.

    I’m in charge of frying the cornbread and pouring the Knob Creek.

    Chicken enchiladas for the carnivores and sweet potato enchiladas for the veggies.

    Margaritas and Mexican seared corn.

    Tomorrow I am smoking two slabs of St Louis cut ribs while a bunch go off to watch the Gator basketball game. With Carolina slaw and mac and cheese.

    Bought the ribs from my butcher at Publix today. Two full racks for $25 seems like a good price. Less than $1 per rib.

    For Lurk......just ran across this photo of my friend Ross at his family's nursery in Osteen, posing in front of a Camellia for scale, while I was shopping for a l/s project back in 2002. He had several varieties and I can't remember which ones these were in this block.

    Shopping for a King Sago......same drill. And on another occasion......Ross spoofing me with a Queen Sago...lol....

    I have lots of camellias. Some of show quality that I grafted because you can't get them in retail trade. Many years ago I was into showing camellias in competition and was even a camellia judge.

    I have a queen sago but not really suited to how cold it can get in Gainesville. It has been burned all the way back several times but is hanging on.

    I have two Zamia fischeri. They are not misnamed Zamia vazquezii which is a common misnaming so actually quite rare in residential landscapes. I bought them at Selby Gardens in Sarasota and they are doing great.
