Cabbage, Radishes, Pearl

[mrissa]

Dear Great-Grandma,

I was in the store just after 6 this morning, beating the crowds to get my Thanksgiving supplies. The clerk said to me, “I can see you’re in charge of the vegetables this year. You have all the fancy things.” She was holding a cabbage and a bunch of radishes.

And I thought of you, Great-Grandma. I thought of you and your cousins

My mother will snicker when I tell her this. She's 99 and remembers going down to the cellar to get sauerkraut out of the crock*. There's a reason "cold as kraut" used to be a saying.

*It was homemade like the pickles and the jam. 100 pounds of cabbage, big grater like a washboard, and salt. And the salt-glazed crocks. Fancy, you bet.
