Pork and Cabbage Pie

A real man pleaser!

Submitted by Rob Christine

Mix and chill in refrigerator:
3/4cup flour
4tbl butter
1/4cup sour cream
(I double everything, and add cream cheese and a pinch of baking soda--should be rather sticky, easiest to finish mixing with hands to avoid over-mixing)

Brown 1 1/4 lbs pork chunks
cook 1 medium (diced) onion in drippings

In large dish/pan/pot
1 chopped head of cabbage (I use two)
2 tbl salad oil (I use none)
1 tbl sugar (I use less, and brown)
1 1/4 cup water (more or less, just don't let it run dry)
1 1.2 tsp salt ( I add soy sauce and salt)
3 tbl cider vinegar ( I add 4)
1/8 tsp pepper (I add 1 tbl pepper)
1/4 dry mustard ( at least 1 tbl dry mustard)
1 slightly beaten egg (I think this is actually for the top, but I add 2 eggs to my mix to thicken the whole thing)

( I also add-- 2 tbl caraway seed, 2 tbl cumin seed, 1 tsp thyme, pinch of anise seed)

Heat till boiling, reduce to low, cover, and simmer on hour or till tender (it should seem completely done at this point)
Remove cover, cook until juices evaporate ( not really necessary unless you've used too much water)
Stir in 1/4 tsp caraway seeds (really? is that all? Guess I like my caraway!)
Spoon into casserole dish, cover with pastry (brush with egg--the whole egg)
cook 425 degree oven, 30-45 min.

Spaghetti Squash

Submitted by Misty Devine

I tried it for the first time a few weeks ago. Here's what I did:

Cut length wise and remove seeds, drizzle with olive oil and salt and pepper to taste (need more than you think), put cut side down on baking sheet (I used foil) and bake 350 degrees for 30 mins or until fork tender. Then take a fork not length wise (if that makes sense) and shred it. It will come out stringy. I tossed it with meat and spaghetti sauce!!! YUMMY!
