Heya Cathy,

Remember me saying that I would try to copy that recipe for braised
cabbage for you? Well..I didn't have to. Molly Stevens has it up on
her website. Here it is:

It really is very, very good.

Thanks for the link. Not guaranteeing I'll try it though. However, I saw
lamb mentioned on that site too...

Well..I got some cabbage today, and decided to make it. I am trying
to up my intake of "leaves"...with things like greens, cabbage,
etc..... I think I can manage to eat all of it before I take off
sometime next week..assuming I do get a contract by then.

I'd make it, and probably will, but I'll "lose" the carrots. Not a
combination I care to think about. <g>

I thought the "Sausages & Plums Braised in Red Wine" looked worth
trying too.

How many people apply for these particular jobs? Do you already have
something prepared to submit that they look over?

DH many years ago used to go to the "Union Hall" to get jobs. The men
looking for a certain job would all gather around and decide which ones they
wanted and then put in for it somehow. I don't remember how they were
chosen. In those days of American shipping, jobs were abundant and a good
one was always available.

Unions sometimes have a "book system." When you needed a job you went
to the hall and signed the book. First one in line got first pick of
calls that day. Seniority was involved but many unions have
eliminated that. Usually you can pass for a day or two if you don't
want what's available that day, but after 3 times you need to go to
the end of the book and resign. Some unions are different, but it
sounds like that's what your DH had to do. Usually in those
situations workers can't search for a job on their own. They must go
through the book system. It has it's pros and cons. If a friend got
a job with a good employer and you want to work there also, you can't
just quite and go there.

That's a simplified explanation. Corruption and favoritism gets
involved in there too.

A large percentage of jobs in the market place are attained by favoritism.
Have you noticed that the "Hire-er" a large percentage of the time, if
he/she has the option, picks of like-mind and like-other things. It is
quite apparent to me walking in a lot of places that the hirer has choses by
favoritism, if by nothing else that appearance.

If the hire-ers are trying to present a certain appearance of their
employees to the public, they may gain a lot of that kind of business, and
it is their choice. I understand it hasn't been challenged. I suppose you
could call it a form of discrimination if you wanted to, and that might fall
under the heading of corruption as well.

Mind you, I'm not arguing for or against unions. I have always weighed both
sides and am not 100% on either side.

Yes, the companies send my resume. I don't know how many nurses are
competing for the same job..

I have worked in a wide variety of jobs, and consider myself lucky that most of
them were in union shops. I certainly saw my share of favourtism and butt
kissing. I can't say that the union shops promoted laziness, but they certainly
protected employees from abusive supervisors.

Heck, Disney was/is the ultimate in corporate image and I don't blame

I'm not sure if I told this story here before or not but...we were
living in Europe while the EuroDisney was under construction. It made
news and quite a stink when Disney insisted on the employees wear
underwear while at work and the French labor unions protested vigorously.
We took the kids to the opening of EuroDisney and had a good time.
Thankfully, I didn't notice any "cast member" going commando, LOL.

I think they wanted to reserve the right to wear or not wear it as they
saw fit? But Disney insisted that all "cast members" (as employees are
called) would dress to the standards they expect of Disney employees
everywhere.

I made both last weekend. The sausages with plums was great, the
cabbage.... take it or leave it. I love cabbage and I thought the
result of this recipe was very average.

Hi Michael and other readers

I haven't posted here for a long time and was never a really regular
poster, but I check in and lurk on a regular basis.

I followed the cabbage recipe to the letter, I didn't want to play
around with a recipe that made such claims of excellence. Firstly I
don't think there is enough braising liquid. That may be because I
used a fairly large baking dish, had to or the eight wedges wold not
have fit. I added a bit extra stock half way through. Despite the
length of the cooking time the cabbage was neither tender nor sweet.

I will not bother with this one again, but I am going to try the red
cabbage recipe on that page.

As for green cabbage I like mine sliced fairly thinly, bring to the
boil in a water/milk mix (not too much, the cabbage does not need to
be covered), turn down to simmer until cooked to liking stirring a
couple of times and keeping the lid on. You have to keep a close eye
so you don't get the boiling over milk thing happening. Drain well,
toss with a knob of butter and freshly ground black pepper. Sometimes
I toss through some previously cooked very finely sliced bacon. The
cabbage (if not cooked to death) stays a nice green colour.

I would be interested to hear from someone else who has tried the
World's Best Braised Cabbage and report back with thoughts, maybe it
is just not to my taste.
