How could anything with cream cheese be disgusting?

It's 6 cups of shredded cabbage cooked briefly in =BD cup of water,
which is then retained to lighten up the cream cheese. I think I'll
try it, too. Probably will add some crushed coriander seeds, just 'cuz
I like that flavor with cabbage....

As a child, a neighbor would make creamed cabbage
with curry powder in it. No cheese that I recall?
But I fondly recall that cabbage and wish I knew
how she prepared it?

Unless it's thinned with something, the cream cheese would just be gloppy.

Well, I love cabbage and I love cream cheese so maybe I'll give it a try.
But I'd drain *some* of the water off; it takes a lot of water to boil a big
ol' head of cabbage! (I usually steam mine unless I'm doing corned beef and
cabbage or your fried cabbage.)

Ooooooooooh! That sounds fantastic! I'll try that on my second batch. I
usually try new recipes in their "virgin" state.

Only 1/2 cup is called for in the recipe. The cabbage will barely be damp.

Can we have an ETA on that? I'm curious - but no rush, just
hike you behind over to the store and get the ingredients!
