[recipe] Braised red cabbage
50g butter, plus extra to serve
1 red onion, halved and sliced
2 tsp mixed spice (cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, ginger)
1 red cabbage, cored and sliced
2 sharp eating apple, sliced
5 tbsp muscovado sugar
250ml apple cider
30ml balsamic vinegar
salt and pepper, to taste
Melt the butter in a large pan over a medium heat and add the onion. Soften in the butter for a few minutes, then stir in the spices and cook for one minute.
Tip in the cabbage and saute until shiny and well coated. Add the apple, sugar, cider and vinegar, reduce the heat to low, stir well, cover and cook for 60 minutes, stirring occasionally to ensure it doesn’t stick.
Season well and stir through a knob of butter before serving. You can also store it somewhere cool for a couple of days, then reheat to serve, if you prefer, adding the butter during the reheating.
Past week be like
Fun.

Our pets can’t animal properly
The hamster likes to run on top of her wheel. If you pick her up and plop her on a cat, the dumbass animal will just look at you as if thinking “OK, now what do you want me to do with this thing?” while the hamster is running around in its fur…

What my wife thinks of me
Katy says that I look like Chip-The-IT-guy from the Muppets (if I still had more hair).
I’m not impressed with my wifey.
Who is Mrs Swedish Chef??
During the Swedish Chef’s epic karaoke moment, I noticed something for the first time: a wedding ring. I thought I’d come across something new, but no. According to the muppet wiki: “a wedding ring has appeared on the Swedish Chef’s left hand as early as 2006″.
But that begs the question, who is Mrs (or Mr – it’s only fair) Swedish Chef?? More importantly, how did I manage to miss this for the last 10 years??
Canada, ya done good
