Popcorn is probably too "carby", so I will try to do better.
Beef Pepper Cabbage
Ingredients:
1 pound ground beef
1 head of green cabbage
1 large red bell pepper, chopped (or a bag of frozen bell pepper mix)
1 medium onion, chopped
1 tablespoon of minced garlic
3 tablespoons of Extra Virgin Olive oil
Basil, Salt and Black Pepper to taste

Chop up the cabbage and boil in water in a large pot for 15 minutes or until tender. I chop the onion and red bell pepper, and defrost the ground beef (if frozen) while the cabbage is boiling. Drain cabbage, set aside. In same large pot, brown the beef with the onion and red bell pepper stirring often. When beef is nearly browned, put the garlic in with beef mixture. After beef is browned, add the Olive oil, basil, salt, pepper and the cabbage. Mix together thoroughly and heat on medium heat until hot.

I usually put this on mashed potatoes, but if carb conscious, this is great by itself. Salt can be omitted also if need be.

Good luck getting the crumbs out from under the carousel turning thing, though!

GOOD GRIEF!!!!

This is a lovely BASE recipe for several alternatives.... You can use finely chopped and steamed or stir fried cauliflower as the base... instead of potatoes or rice... or STRETCH this recipe by adding a can of tomatoes to it and making it into a deconstructed cabbage roll soup.

Hamburger soup is ONE of my most favourite comfort foods. I would add celery... carrots... and extra bell peppers to this mix.

YUMMY for the tummy.

No walking for me this week-end. A cold front has come in. This morning it is minus 22 ( feels like minus 29 ). This is dangerously cold weather for the skin.
Monday and Tuesday are to be the coldest days at minus 27 ( feels like minus 34).
The cold snap is supposed to last into Wednesday... and by Thursday... it's still WINTER however... it will be walkable.

That's very low temperature.
Are you living in Ontario? Can't be Vancouver, which is warmer.
Why has Vancouver a smaller population in spite of being warmer?

We are in what they are calling a polar vortex at the moment.... and so our temps are very high right now.
This is apparently the last day for the extreme cold weather warning. Our school buses have been cancelled the last
two mornings.

Yes I am in Ontario... but if I'm not mistaken..... Saskatchewan and Manitoba can also get these frigid temperatures.

Vancouver is VERY EXPENSIVE... and has a huge drug problem due to years of piloting the SAFE site drug consumption programs
This model has clearly failed and actually back-fired... increasing drug use and homelessness. Most cities in Canada are now dealing with a record high homeless and drug problem. It's very SAD.

Good morning, In Awe of Him;

We never lived in that environment so we're not experts on this extreme temperature. When you wrote our "temps are very high right now," is that the effect of polar vortex?

God bless you and stay warm, sister.

Yes... the very high temps ( extreme cold ) is the effect of the polar vortex.
I don't understand the science of it... but it is what is causing us to have
a cold weather warning until later this afternoon.

School buses were cancelled yesterday and today due to the windchill factor.

I just looked at the weather site and our warning has been removed.
We are currently at minus 16 ( with windchill minus 26 ). That is a high but
normal temperature for this time of year. Usually we sit at about minus 10 - minus 15.

I feel like Abraham sheepishly asking God just one more question. Just so I understand, shouldn't the very high temps actually be very low temps.

I'm not trying to correct you, In Awe of Him, I'm just trying to understand. If my wife and I lived in a land that has polar vortex then we would.....MOVE!

 

[In Awe of Him]

You are absolutely CORRECT... I am SAYING it wrong.... HAHAHA.... it's LOW temps...
the minus before the number makes the temps LOWER.....

Because it's EXTRA cold... I am saying high temps... HAHAHAHA...... GOOD GRIEF.... I did not even realize I was doing this until
YOU chose to INVESTIGATE and DIG AROUND. HAHAHAHAHAHA.

 

[In Awe of Him]

Apparently.... BLACK sheep do NOT know how to discern weather... therefore will NOT be applying for the 6 pm news. HAHAHAHAHA

Since many members here at CFS don't use Celsius, the conversion links below might help to understand the temp's in both of them systems.

Actually, thank you for explaining polar vortex.

I'm still shaking my head.... ALL these years.... I have been thinking it all WRONG... HAHAHA
I didn't just EXPLAIN it wrong... I have been doing this for years. HAHAHA.

I call low temps HIGH..... GOOD GRIEF.... Mr. Moose is NEVER going to let this go.

Would...I....do something like that????? That would be very low of me. The absolute highest of the lows. Or is that the lowest of the highs? It is the high point of my day!
