Andouille smothered cabbage doubly delicious this evening cause made with caught cabbage from last weekend’s St. Patrick’s Day parade in New Orleans. They throw heads of cabbage from passing floats! I snagged several and brought two back home with this dish in mind.

Threatening rain held off during our Arkansas Senior Olympics archery event a few days ago, and strong headwinds out made for good tailwinds back during cycling on the Arkansas River Trail.
