And this should use up the cabbage....

Pork Chops with Cabbage                                              Time: 45 minutes

2 - 4 pork chops, depending on size and hunger
1 onion
1 tbs olive oil
2 cups chopped cabbage    or whatever is left
1/2 cup white wine or chicken stock
1 tbs sage
1 tbs cornstarch (maizena) dissolved in 1/2 cup milk

Cut a slice off the cabbage, avoiding the core, and chop roughly.  Chop onion.  Heat oil in large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.  Add onion and sauté briefly - 2 minutes.  Move to the side and brown pork chops on both sides, 6 - 8 minutes.  Add cabbage, wine or stock and sage, cover, reduce heat and simmer for 30 minutes.  Remove chops and increase heat.  Stir in milk/cornstarch mixture and stir until thickened.  Put cabbage on platter, top with chops and serve with buttered potatoes.

Buttered Potatoes                                                          Time: 25 - 30 minutes

2 -3 potatoes
1 tbs butter
salt & pepper

Scrub potatoes and cut into quarters.  Put into a sauce pan and cover with water to which you add 1/4 tsp salt.  Cover and bring to a boil.  When boiling move cover so it is ajar else the potatoes will boil over.  They will, I promise....   Remove from heat when done (stick a knife in and test - should go in easily).  Drain, add butter, salt & pepper if using, and serve.
