Have never made cabbage rolls before - they're kind of like little meatloaves or meatballs inside an eggroll (except rather than an eggroll wrapper a cabbage leaf is used).
The sauce should have been a plain tomato sauce, but I didn't have any so I used sloppy joe sauce instead. I think the former wouldn't have added anything to it. The latter sauce had much more flavor.
There's Parmesan cheese on top of these cabbage rolls, but the other batch had dairy-free cheese for Sophia since she has a dairy allergy.
Despite the fact that they aren't visually appealing, they were well-received.
Made these for a 52 Weeks of Baking swap on Swap-Bot. Am trying about 3 new recipes per week (even though the swap is for 1 recipe).
My goal is to try recipes that I have from a variety of sources, but haven't yet made. If they turn out well, I'm typing the recipe and taking a picture of what the food looks like.
Eventually, I should have quite a few recipes and pictures - along with comments from the girls about what they thought about the food, and lessons I learned that week.
All these components will go into cookbooks that I'll make for Sophia and Olivia. Not sure if I'll give them the cookbooks for Christmas or wait until they are older. Still have time to think about this.
Mídia impressa, mídia eletrônica, multimídia.
Produção de conteúdo? Yes, we can!
Nos anos 80 todos queriam ser videomakers, nos anos 90 era chique trabalhar com multimídia e até outro dia somente repórteres fotográficos viam seu trabalho estampado na capa do jornal.
Hoje todo mundo é videomaker. Não o videomaker da década de 80, que precisava alugar câmeras pesadas e pagava os olhos da cara por algumas horas numa ilha de edição. Agora que os celulares filmam, a produção massificou e um novo gênero surgiu: o documentário do amigo traidor. São gravações de coitados que na maioria das vezes nem sabem que estão sendo filmados. Dos mais leves, onde pais sacaneiam filhos anestesiados, aos mais pesados, com celebridades se drogando, esses vídeos coalham a Internet. Nos casos mais extremos seu valor é escancarar o que nenhum outro documentário jamais mostraria. Pena que não façam isso por ousadia, mas por pura irresponsabilidade. Se você já viu a Amy Winehouse fumando crack, sabe do que estou falando.
Hoje todo mundo é fotógrafo. Os jornais, desesperados para competir com a velocidade da cobertura online, passaram a explorar nosso vicio de fotografar tudo que esteja pelo caminho. E os acidentes são um grande filão. Quanto mais rápida a tragédia, melhor. Quando os profissionais chegam, a ação já acabou e somente quem estava lá, com a máquina no bolso, pode fotografar o pedreiro agarrado no andaime em chamas, pouco antes de cair (aconteceu com um amigo meu!). Primeira página garantida e alguma grana no bolso. A praga do amigo traidor também rende uma manchete. Se você viu o Michael Phelps fumando maconha, sabe do que estou falando.
E a multimídia, coitada, onde foi parar? Sumiu e, ao mesmo tempo, está em todos os lugares, incorporada a nossa vida. Dissolvida nos brinquedos, na Web, no banco, nos games, no carro... a lista é grande. Interagimos com naturalidade por todas essas interfaces e, no entanto, não criamos nossa própria multimídia. Ou criamos? Essas produções toscas, feitas no PowerPoint, que os amigos adoram mandar por email, são os filhos bastardos da boa e velha multimídia (aquela que morava no CD-ROM, lembra?). O povo vai misturando todo tipo de conteúdo pirateado com todo tipo de efeito manjado, sem medo de ser feliz. E onde isso vai dar? Um dos meus gurus previu que, quando o PowerPoint acrescentar mais algumas funções, as velhas piadas de 3 linhas se tornarão arquivos de 3 Gigas.

Stuffed jalapeños part II. Wrapping them with bacon like the last time was a pain in the ashtabula. So, I browned some sausage with extra spices, cooled it down, and then folded it in with cream cheese and Mexican three cheese blend.
“Bad Ass” Jersey Shore Fightin’ Texas Aggie Ring chopped the tops off of many jalapeños. Then, using his trusty jalapeño knife, he gutted the ribs and seeds insides of them like they gut a pig before a BBQ. Believe me, I’ve been there.
Aggie Ring “stuffed the Hell” of the little jalapeños with the cheese/sausage mixture. He then smoked them over alder wood @ 250 degrees for about an hour. Just long enough to brown the top of the cheese and soften the jalapeños. But, not so much as there wasn’t still a bit of a crunch when you bit into them.
They were most excellent.
So, I walked into my kitchen after school today to find a bubble mailer addressed to me, yours truly! I opened it up to find my trade from Sharp inside! It was filled with absolute goodness and a few surprises, too! I figured the ultimate way to thank my buddy would be to show some of the stuff off! So, here we have some pretty badass stuff!
-Martin Walker, the "protagonist" of Spec Ops The Line, with hair and gun from Sharp!
-I'll post some better pics later, but this is my first Tiny Turbo. Sharp was kind, and sent some wheels and other cool stuff for TT's!
-Zulu with a possible new spear. I will most likely mod this to suit Zulu's needs!
-Zulu's daddy is looking positively ecstatic over his new MP5!
-OK, so I was really excited for these old navy torsos. Why? 'cause motherfucking 1700's Bat Family is why! So you can see Batman and a WIP Nightwing.
-Well, this is a possible spoiler for Zulu fans... >.>

SMASH! Droppin' Stuff, 2008
The Custodians of Destruction - Toronto, Canada
Performance Art, Multimedia Installation
Celebrate the transcience of Stuff. Treasured possessions and household objects get a moment in the spotlight before meeting their demise. Stuff is dropped from above and smashed in this intense ritual of destruction, with dramatic soundscapes and live projectio. ;Humans create a lot of Stuff, all of which inevitably breaks down or wears out. When that happens, the Stuff gets put outside with the trash for someone else to take away. But not tonight. On October 4, 2008, these objects will be given a final farewell and then meet a glorious, cataclysmic end.
SMASH! Droppin' Stuff will take place in twelve installments over the course of the night, with video replay running in between shows. Each show will feature several objects, each one introduced by an emcee and dropped to musical accompaniment. Live video feed of each object will be projected on the wall for close-up action shots. Come for a whole show and participate in the increasingly intensifying ritual, then stay for slow motion replays afterwards.
It's all the glamour of a public art event combined with the raw power of dropping stuff from great heights. Come celebrate the beauty of everyday objects, the inevitablility of destruction, and the glory of finality.

With some inspiration in mind, I set out on making a delicious meal for myself. I started by pounding steak with a meat mallet to 1/4 inch thickness. Then I spread the chopped spinach, fresh mozzarella cheese, pinch of oregano, salt and pepper over the steak. Starting from narrow side, I rolled up the stuffed flank steak into a pinwheel, held by toothpicks.
In a large skillet, I browned the steak roll on all sides in hot oil. At the end, I combined tomato sauce, garlic and herbs, pouring it over the meat. The end result is spirals of lean flank steak with a luscious filling of spinach and fresh mozzarella, all topped with warm garlic tomato sauce. Dinner is served!

I've seen lots of photos of people bringing around little trinkets and so forth to put in their travel blogs and such. This little stuffed Opossum was being carried around by a woman from West Virginia on behalf of her granddaughter who was unable to travel. She was kind enough to allow me to get my own picture of her furry companion.
I also like this shot because it shows Mount Rushmore in its broader context... that of being just a mountain in the Black Hills that happened to get a face lift.
