Tuesday’s dinner consisted of cabbage soup with sour cream, sliced oriental yams, which I baked in the Breville toaster oven, and two Nathans beef franks that I boiled.
Wednesday’s dinner also consisted of cabbage soup with sour cream. For the second course were two Nathans beef hot dogs topped with ketchup and Russian sour cabbage.
Tonight’s dinner will also include cabbage soup with sour cream. And for the second course two Nathans beef hot dogs topped with Russian sour cabbage and onions, drizzled with olive oil. Sliced baked oriental yams on the side.
And tomorrow’s dinner will be the same as today’s dinner. May seem boring eating the same thing, or a variation of it, for four days in a row but it’s delicious. And I don’t mind it.
Plus, I hate throwing food away. You can’t exactly buy only a few hot dog buns or a few beef franks. And you can’t make soup for only one day. At least in my case it’s not possible.

I will never force food into me if I don’t like it.

I definitely had better franks than Nathans but that’s what my mom got me so that’s what I’m eating. I don’t usually buy this brand.

@lovebuglena We usually get Ball Park because that's what my grandson likes.

@dfollin not sure if I’ve ever tried that. I used to buy the black bear franks but haven’t seen them in a while.

That's the way I eat, too. I make a large amount of something, eat it for a few days, varying the other things I eat with it and then freeze anything that's left so Pretty can heat it up for me when I can't see to do it myself.

It’s so comforting. I never get tired of it. I don’t make it as often though. It’s mainly because I don’t usually make soup at all of any kind.

That on my opinion is too much can age soup.
That cannot be good for the body.
I don't like throwing food away either
But cabbage soup would be thrown out after the second day

It tastes great. I would not eat soup if it has gone bad.

I believe.you Lena
You said that before
I just don't see that a pot of home made cabbage soup can stay fresh for 4 or 5 days
