Cabbageburgers etc.
Cabbageburgers
1 lb. ground beef
1/2 head cabbage
Salt
Pepper
2 c. milk
1/2 c. butter
5 1/3 c. flour
2 pkgs. yeast
2 T. sugar
1 1/2 t. salt
3 eggs
Crumble ground beef into a large frypan, and brown well. Drain. Chop cabbage, and add to beef. Salt and pepper well (really well), cover and put back on low heat. Allow to steam (cabbage should get nice and limp and nearly colorless).
While that is going on over there (stir it once in a while), this is going on over here. Measure milk and butter into a microwave safe bowl, and heat in the microwave for about 4 minutes (until butter melts). In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, yeast, sugar, and salt. Crack the eggs into a small bowl and beat them. Pour eggs and milk-butter mixture into the flour mixture. Stir well and long (I use a Kitchen-aid with a dough hook for 10 minutes... but back when I was a newly-wed student, I kneaded it by hand). Set aside to rise.
Punch down when dough is doubled, and let rise again.
Set oven to 400 degrees.
On a floured cloth (I like flour-sack towels), dump dough and cut into quarters.
One quarter at a time, roll dough into 12' circles. Cut into fourths. Pick up the wedge of dough, and holding it flat in your hand, put 1/4 to 1/3 cup meat-cabbage mixture into the middle of the dough. Pinch closed the sides. Place seam side down on a greased baking sheet. Repeat until dough or meat is used up.
Allow to rise for 10 minutes. Place in oven, and bake for 15 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from oven, and brush with butter.
Serve with ketchup.

So to celebrate my last day of focused domesticity, I made these (supra) favorites of my husband's. Back when we were first married, both my mother-in-law and my grandmother-in-law took me aside at our first meeting, and made sure I knew how to make them (it must have been some sort of marriage-suitability-test). Anyway, they're very good, refrigerate well, and make a great meal day one and for leftovers.
Also today, checked in at the High School, to review a 504 accommodation plan for one of my sons. Answered my aunt's genealogy question (the kind that is short to ask, long to answer). Took a load of scrap lumber (and other trash) to the dump (now that the house is finished, my husband is tackling his shop in the garage. He's building a new workbench. We may yet get the vehicles back under shelter by winter).
For once, the big fat envelope in the mailbox from CU wasn't for me... it was Son One's viewbook and app. Here we go again. Did you know, it confuses CUConnect to try to log in as a parent from a computer that has a student cookie in it?
