This sufficiently tasty but not outstandingly delicious recipe comes to us courtesy of the family of Governor Lloyd Lowndes, governor of Maryland from 1896 to 1900. Lowndes’ lineage can be traced back to an early Maryland merchant settler and beyond, but I can’t find much readily available about his governing. I’m sure that further research is possible but I don’t have a book deal or anything so…. you know.

Cabbage is a pretty ideal crop for Maryland

, and my books contain a variety of soups, slaws and meat dishes incorporating cabbage.

This one was a little different and exceptionally simple. I used red cabbage because it looks cool. The cabbage continued to cook itself too long and I may have ended up with more of a cooked cabbage dish than a ‘slaw,’ but as I said before it was palatable.

Sorry about the quality of the photos.
I’m as bad at photography as I am at cooking. At least I can sort of write?

    I decided to do one last pawpaw recipe before the season is over. After last week’s pawpaw cream pie, I wondered what it would be like to cross it with strawberry pretzel salad.

    When I approached the Two Boots Farm stand I felt a little bad. Colorful edible flowers sat alluringly displayed in plastic clamshells. Cartons of shisito peppers were laid out. Behind the pawpaw table, another table of offerings. When I reached out later, Elisa from Two Boots farm told me ” Yes, sometimes I think people oversee our flowers when they are hunting for the pawpaws (two very different customers really). But we do have a lot of social media followers that I suspect found us because of pawpaws but they started asking us for wedding flower quotes or joining our flower share. In September people flock to us for the pawpaws but if I look at the sales numbers cut flowers are still our best selling item this time of the year.”

    I ended up working with pectin to make a vegetarian recipe that could easily be made vegan. It could also be made with milk gelatin (minus cinnamon) for those who don’t want to deal with the pectin.

    There’s no camping like fall camping! And there’s no better camp bread than cornbread. Once again I turned to Mrs. B.C. Howard for a good camp recipe… if this could even be called a recipe. Really this is just a list of ingredients: Dry rice you say? Well okay. I mixed the dry ingredients ahead…
