Cabbage and Meatballs

Sometimes, one finds oneself on a diet. In that situation, one is often avoiding things like spaghetti. In such a case, The Internet will suggest substitutions such as spaghetti squash or tiny strips of zucchini. I am here to say that such substitutions are worse than useless: they are just a sad reminder that one wants spaghetti but can't have any.

You know what's a good base for meatballs? Slawed cabbage stewed (briefly!) in tomato sauce. You don't wipe away tears of longing with every bite; you just wonder who was too lazy to stuff the prakas, and salute them for a perfectly reasonable time-saving alternative.
