Not red cabbage....

OK so I don't know why I looked up red cabbage recipes and even posted that recipe and cooked it lol It was AMAZING by the way but I used purple cabbage NOT red I guess I don't know my colors lol and when I cooked it to make it soft it made blue water (I read that happens because of the alkaline in the water we drink...I think that is what it said lol) and turned the leaves blue but I read online that the red and purple cabbage are very much alike and also that you can add an acidic like lemon juice it will change it back purple I don't know if that is true or not because the fact that it was blue did not bother me I thought it was more fun that way actually. I wish I would have taken a pic of it when Rhett took it out of the oven for me because it is not very often that the first thing he says is "It looks pretty" and he was so right it looked a lot like the pic in the recipe page I would say exactly but the pic they had showed blood red cabbage and ours was a lovely purple blue... I'll try to take a pic tomorrow when I am eating left overs I did get a pic of the first rib that came out of the crock pot because we laughed before we could taste it since I could hardly get it onto the plate since it was falling off of the bone and away from the fork it was sooo tender! I said I'm sure these will be terrible because it is never good when meat is this tender Rhett maybe you shouldn't taste it for me (I always ask him to be my tester in case it is poisoned or just tastes terrible if he falls to the ground I will know not to try it) and I said I should just eat it instead lol.
