Sweet and Sour Cabbage Soup
After the Women’s March on Saturday, a bunch of us went to Langer’s Delicatessen for their hot pastrami sandwich, which Nora Ephron described as the “finest in the world.” (I agree.) The walls of Langer’s are adorned with photos of their offerings. There was a shot of a bowl of sweet and sour cabbage soup, a mainstay of my childhood. It looked so good that I was inspired to make a pot today. The recipe suggests letting it sit for 24 hours for optimum eating pleasure, so I’ll have to wait until tomorrow. The weather is wintry here in Southern California and I’m excited!

Oh, yum, Wendy. I may have to make this in the event we actually get a sustained winter her. We actually had 65°F highs this past weekend (both days), though it cooled a bit and we had snow showers this morning.
If there is a big snowfall in the forecast*, I’m going to forego the bread and milk and, instead, run to the butcher for some short ribs.
*an unlikely occurrence these days–two years in a row without a real snow storm.
I ate a big bowl last night. It was delicious – sweet and sour, as advertised. A highly recommended recipe.
