napa cabbage, bacon, bleu cheese, and apples

I looked for a recipe yesterday that included some of the things currently in my fridge. I have a beautiful head of napa cabbage that I used for homemade pot stickers last week and I didn’t want it to go to waste. I searched for napa cabbage and apples and found this great recipe on BostonChefs.com. We had it as an entree, which was a little too much cabbage in one sitting, but it was really delicious and I’d absolutely make it again and serve it with something like pork tenderloin or corned beef. Might even be good with some sliced up roast chicken. This recipe marks apple #80

I’m back home today after working from Tom’s office yesterday. It was so nice to get out of the hose for the day and spend some time in downtown Portland. I’m going to go downtown at least once a week, just for a change of pace. Back home today, I have a big build due tomorrow. I got a lot of work done yesterday but it’s probably going to be a busy afternoon for me today. It’s hard working from home when there are bumble bee houses waiting to be buried in the yard. I took some time at lunch to hang the mason bee house. Maybe tomorrow I can bury the bumble bee house.

I eat today’s apple, a golden delicious, as I work away on my computer and wait for someone from freecycle to come pick up more empty boxes. I might have another apple later on, I think I’m a couple apples behind schedule.
