Roasted Cabbage with Lemon
Follow the recipe here.

Pinterest helps me find all sorts of yummy things to make. But despite good culinary intentions, most of the recipes I pin are just food board eye candy. Today, with the chilling rain that has been falling steadily since last night, I decided to fire up the oven and warm things up. I had a head of cabbage languishing in the bottom drawer of the outside refrigerator, so Roasted Cabbage with Lemon seemed like a good idea. I pulled up the recipe and was happy to see it was super easy.

Except for the part about cutting the cabbage into 8 wedges. I accidentally cut that many out of the first half alone. I put the uncut half back into the fridge, brushed my skinny wedges with olive oil and lemon, and stuck them in the oven. It wan not an issue until I had to flip the wedges midway through the roasting time, when it all fell apart. Don't be like me.

I popped the no-longer-wedges back into the oven and congratulated myself on making a trial run without witnesses. Twelve minutes later I got a face-blast when I leaned down too quickly after opening the oven door. Don't be like me.

Pinterest success? I think so. Although my tray of cabbage casualties isn't pretty like the picture, it is pretty good.
