You Can't Squeeze Blood from a Cabbage

Okay, I understand that the real idiom is you can't squeeze blood from a turnip. I'm not sure who thought of this, but I'm guessing it's because turnips can leave a horrible red stain. Maybe, they should say that you can't squeeze blood from me. Yeah, today, I tried to donate blood at work. I think I succeed in giving a pint of blood 75% of the time. Hmmm...I don't the success rate is even that high. I usually have drink a lot of water the night before and have a big breakfast the following morning. Anyway, here's what I look like after a bad attempt. It's going to get worse.

The second part of my story is about cabbage. This past weekend I went home for Labor Day and I saw my parents, cousins, aunt/uncle, my grandpa and his "lady" friend. Anyway, all of them grow vegetables so it was like your friendly farm market - without the paying part. Anyway, my family donated tomatoes, corn, beans, zuchinni relish, and cabbage. This isn't your average cabbage. It's really really big; the size of my head. So what the heck can I do with this much cabbage? Put it with 2.5 pounds of corn beef and have a meal.
