Whatcha eatin' ?
Joyce Jones sent us this great recipe, a whole new take on stuffed cabbage.
"Unstuffed" Cabbage
1 head of cabbage
1 pound ground turkey
1/2 cup chopped onion
3/4 cup instant brown rice
1/2 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
1/4 teaspoon pepper
2 cans tomato soup (or one large can crushed tomatoes)
1 can of water
Sprinkling of grated cheese
Chop cabbage, and spread in a 9 x 12 pan sprayed
with Pam. Brown meat with onion. Stir in rice, salt and
pepper; pour over cabbage. Mix soup and water (if using
crushed tomatoes, use full strength) Pour over meat
mixture. Sprinkle with grated cheese. Cover tightly with
foil, and bake at 350 degrees for 1 to 1.5 hours. Boiling the cabbage
first lowers cooking time to 1 hour.
Serves 4

New message from Arthur:
Arthur says there are many forms of malware circulating the Internet. Some remain hidden in your computer, wreaking havoc with your system. Others appear as bogus utilities, warning you of non-existent problems. Often they will even give you a specific number of issues - something not possible if you hadn't run any scans with that utility. Others yet, are random pop-ups that you can't close. These all must be dealt with immediately. If they disappear on their own, they will return. They are not self-healing. If not eradicated, they will get worse, eventually blocking you from logging on to Windows, in many cases.
Call Arthur at 770-540-5100 or email him at arthur@glazerthepctech.com if you need to set up an appointment. He guarantees his work, has rapid response times and reasonable rates. You've read his columns in the Times, now let him go to work for you.
That's it for now. Remember-email goes both ways...
If you run across any exceptional bargains or impressive new products, let us know. We'll put the word out!
Have a remarkable week!
