When life gives you lemons, make lemonade. And when a member of faculty leaves a cabbage on the table for anyone to take, make Warm Red Cabbage Salad with Pecans.
Doesn’t quite have the same ring.
I walked into the faculty room innocently at lunch and there was a whole red cabbage sitting on a table with a sign that said “please take me!” I found out later it had been destined to be a science experiment, but some students were absent so it never even entered the science lab. Perfect! It can enter the kitchen lab instead!
