If you do not own a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/exec\/obidos\/tg\/detail\/-\/B00004S9EJ\/104-6578946-7984719?v=glance\">mr chops-a-lot<\/a>, this will be much more work for you than it is for me.<\/p>\n<p><!--more-->* Heat up your heavy cooking pot (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.lecreuset.com\/\">Le Creuset<\/a> if you got it) to medium-high.<br \/>\n* Shred one decent sized onion.  Put it in your heavy cooking pot along with 1\/4 cup (half a stick) of butter.<br \/>\n* Smoosh it around until the onion turns golden brown and soft.  15 minutes or so.<br \/>\n* While that&#8217;s happening, shred a decent sized cabbage.<br \/>\n* Once the onions are cooked, add 1 and a half tablespoons of paprika.  Smoosh it around for another minute or so.<br \/>\n* Dump in the cabbage, and 2 teaspoons of salt.  Stir.  Smoosh for five more minutes.<br \/>\n* Lower heat to &#8220;low&#8221; and cover.  Cook (smooshing occasionally) for about an hour, give or take.<br \/>\n* When you&#8217;re almost ready to serve, make up a batch of egg noodles (standard boiling water routine) and dump &#8217;em in.<br \/>\n* Add black pepper to taste.<br \/>\n* If desired, garnish with a dollop of sour cream.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s almost like stroganoff, but without the beef.  Plus, despite what you would think&#8230;there&#8217;s almost never any gastrointestinal side effects &#8230; despite the dish consisting of one onion and one whole cabbage.  I like to think that the long simmering time cooks out all the evil gut twisting juices. <\/p>\n<p>Plus, random crap from the web:   <a href=\"http:\/\/www.backingblair.co.uk\/long_shot\/\">A political video<\/a> about British politics.  I was about to click &#8220;back&#8221; when it suddenly took the surreal turn into awesome zombie-land.  Rock!
