Boil the cabbage leaves for 2 minutes to soften. 
In skillet, brown the meat in a little olive oil, 
   then add onions, peppers, and celery (all chopped finely) 
   and season well. 
Place in a large bowl and cool. 
Add seasoned breadcrumbs and a little of the tomato gravy, 
   enough to make the mixture pliable.
Divide the stuffing among the cabbage leaves then roll. 
Place seam down in a baking pan. 
Ladle tomato gravy on top, 
   and bake at 325° for 30 - 45 minutes.



Umbilical Cordon Bleu

Nothing is so beautiful as the bond between mother and child, 
so why not consume it? 
Children or chicken breasts will work wonderfully also.

4 whole umbilical chords (or baby breasts, or chicken breasts)
4 thin slices of smoked ham, and Gruyere cheese
Flour
eggwash (milk and eggs)
seasoned bread crumbs
1 onion
minced
salt
pepper
butter
olive oil

Pound the breasts flat (parboil first if using umbilical 
   cords so they won?t be tough). 
Place a slice of ham and cheese on each, along with some minced onion 
   then fold in half, trimming neatly. 
Dredge in flour, eggwash, then seasoned breadcrumbs; 
   allow to sit for a few minutes. 
Sauté in butter and olive oil until golden brown, 
   about 6 minutes on each side.



Shish Kababes

As old as the hills, this technique has employed seafood, beef, pork, lamb, 
poultry, and vegetables; just about anything can be grilled, and young humans 
are no exception!

High quality marinade (Teriyaki and garlic perhaps)

Serve with hot dinner rolls, fruit salad and sparkling water. 



Bébé Buffet 1

Show off with whole roasted children replete with apples in mouths - 
and babies? heads stuffed with wild rice. Or keep it simple with a 
hearty main course such as stew, lasagna, or meat loaf. 

Some suggestions

Pre-mie pot pies, beef stew, leg of lamb, stuffed chicken, roast pork spiral ham, 
Cranberry pineapple salad, sweet potatoes in butter, vegetable platter, tossed salad with tomato and avocado, parsley new potatoes, spinich cucumber salad, fruit salad
Bran muffins, dinner rolls, soft breadsticks, rice pilaf, croissants
Apple cake with rum sauce, frosted banana nut bread sherbet, home made brownies
Iced tea, water, beer, bloody marys, lemonade, coffee

The guests select food, beverages, silverware... everything from the buffet table. 
They move to wherever they are comfortable, and sit with whoever they choose. 
Provide trays so your guests will not spill everything all over your house from 
carrying too much, nor will they have to make 10 trips back and fourth from the 
service stations.



Roast Leg of Amputee

By all means, substitute lamb or a good beef roast if the haunch 
it is in any way diseased. But sometimes surgeons make mistakes, 
and if a healthy young limb is at hand, then don?t hesitate to cook 
it to perfection!

1 high quality limb, rack, or roast
Potatoes, carrot
Oil
celery
onions
green onions
parsley
garlic
salt, pepper, etc
2 cups beef stock

Marinate meat (optional, not necessary with better cuts). 
Season liberally and lace with garlic cloves by making incisions, 
   and placing whole cloves deep into the meat.
Grease a baking pan, and fill with a
