Serving Size: 6

Ingredients:

4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

4 garlic cloves, minced

1 onion, sliced

1 tablespoon oregano

1/2 cabbage head, coarsely chopped

1 cup celery leaves and ends, chopped

1 1/2 teaspoons salt

1 teaspoon pepper

2 potatoes, peeled & diced

1 quart chicken broth

2 cups beans, kidney or pinto etc., cooked & drained

1/2 cup pasta, small, cooked & drained

Directions:

1. Heat olive oil in a large pot, then sauté the garlic and onion, stirring, until onions are translucent. Add the oregano, and then stir in the chopped cabbage. Cover the the pot and simmer until the cabbage has been cooked down to half. Add celery and salt and pepper, and simmer another 5 minutes. Add potatoes and simmer 5 minutes more, stirring so pototos do not stick to the bottom of the pot. Now add the broth,.

2. Reduce heat and cook about 10 minutes before adding the beans. Bring back to a simmer, and stir in the macaroni. Cook about 20 minutes more until the macaroni is done and the potatoes are tender.

3. Spoon the ciambotte into large bowls, and grate cheese directly onto each serving.

4. Variations:

Obviously, many additional or alternative ingredients may be added or used in this recipe. A few chopped tomatoes, for example, can be tossed in. Carrots and string beans are good, as are turnips or rutabaga instead of potatoes. You want a richer flavour, which can be achieved with a spoonful of sugar. On the other hand, a squeeze of lemon or vinegar will give the dish tartness. Follow your taste buds and your inclinations and you may find happiness.

Photography: "a term which comes from the Greek words photos (light) and graphos (drawing). A photograph is made with a camera by exposing film to light in order to create a negative. The negative is then used in the darkroom to print a photograph (positive) onto light-sensitive paper.

Poetry: "a form of speech or writing that harmonizes the music of its language with its subject. To read a great poem is to bring out the perfect marriage of its sound and thought in a silent or voiced performance. At least from the time of Aristotle's Poetics, drama was conceived of as a species of poetry."

Journal: " "Though a journal may be many things - a treasury, a storehouse, a jewelry box, a laboratory, a drafting board, a collector's cabinet, a snapshot album, a history, a travelogue..., a letter to oneself - it has some definable characteristics. It is a record, an entry-book, kept regularly, though not necessarily daily.... Some (entries) will be nearly illegible, written in the dark in the middle of the night.... Not only is it a record for oneself, but of oneself. Every memorable journal, any successful journal, is honest. Nothing sham, phony, false...." (Dorothy Lambert from Ken Macrorie's book, Writing to be Read )
A journal is a way to keep track of your thoughts about what you read... as well as what you did on any given day."

A Blog is an online journal created by server side software, often hosted by a commercial interest.

"The term "weblog" was coined by Jorn Barger[4] on 17 December 1997. The short form, "blog," was coined by Peter Merholz, who jokingly broke the word weblog into the phrase we blog in the sidebar of his blog Peterme.com in April or May 1999.[5][6][7] Shortly thereafter, Evan Williams at Pyra Labs used "blog" as both a noun and verb ("to blog," meaning "to edit one's weblog or to post to one's weblog") and devised the term "blogger" in connection with Pyra Labs' Blogger product, leading to the popularization of the terms."
