My mom has been making stuffed cabbage for years; she never used rice in her chopmeat mixture; but she did add some type of pork -- bacon, porkfat etc. that she would saute and mix with chopmeat; always used tomato soup. She now cores the cabbage and freezes it and it does NOT come out tough or inedible, if you boil it it is hot and you have to wait a while; I tried steaming it in microwave and it came out perfect and didn't take as long to cool as opposed to boiling it.

I didn't marinate overnight, just for about 6 hours and I used garlic seasoning as I had no garlic powder. I also divided 2 racks of ribs as wouldn't fit in one bag and used all the marinade between the two bags. So I used a bottle of Sweet Rays Honey BBQ sauce to brush on as I cooked them on the grill to keep them moist. My so likes a lot of sauce on his ribs but my daughter doesn't like saucy ribs. I served extra BBQ sauce on the side for anyone who wanted extra suce.. They were devoured in no time.

i found black licorice at A.C. Moore; Wilton the cake/candy decorating company sells it. Also I have a similar recipe but die the icing green and put licoricie in for legs and put an oreo on top of that; then take some tinted green icing and put 2 dots on the cookie and put green M&M's on the icing to make it look like eyes; you can use the red licorice too if you can't find the black but stores that sell Wilton products would have it in the seasonal display section. also I got package of sprinkles shaped like bats, witches hats and candy eyes could use too; would not use Red Hots as kids don't like them and neither do many adults.
