pork fat rules!

we're making smothered cabbage, among other (healthier) things for dinner tonight. simple recipe, we halfed it, but it's just:

-1c chopped ham (we used kielbasa)
-1c chopped onions-a few cloves of garlic, minced
-a splash of olive oil
-1 large head of cabbage (we used red)
-1/2 c water-1tsp sugarsalt, pepper and cayenne to taste

and then you just saute the ham, onion, garlic, and oil together for about five minutes. add the roughly chopped cabbage, water, sugar, and seasonings. cover and simmer about 30 minutes until the cabbage is tender. i know it's crazy unhealthy, but we're also only having steamed veggies and whole wheat couscous with milled flax (now with 450g omega 3 fatty acids!), so get off my case.
