I was running to get gas the other day, cruising down a road that I often travel and saw this rainbow of cabbage. What struck me, other than the gorgeous color, was how I had missed this during it's growth? Surprisingly, from "America's Dairyland" we are also a large producer of the nations cranberries and cabbage. In fact, my township of Franksville, was once home to volumes of open sauerkraut fields. If you have ever seen Franks Pure Foods Co. it began here in 1907 and the label you will find on many a bottle of sauerkraut.
Aside from this little history lesson, this is about what happens when you just open your eyes and look beyond whatever your current distraction is and find joy and appreciation from the simple beauties that surround us. Since we are staying home for Thanksgiving this year, last night B and I went out to the garden and pulled beautiful fennel bulbs, leeks, carrots, celeriac and arugula that we will incorporate into today's meal. What a lovely thing, to be able to harvest produce for our harvest meal.
