'Get Fresh'
With Cabbage
COLLEGE STATION — You can "get
fresh" with cabbage and delight even the
most discerning diners at your house - when
you know selection, storage and preparation
basics, according to a foods and nutrition
specialist.
Here they are as provided by Marilyn
Haggard on the home economics staff of the
Texas Agricultural Extension Service, The
Texas A&M University System:
Select solid, crisp, heavy, well-trimmed
heads. Avoid heads with decayed or
discolored leaves.
Store in the refrigerator in a crisper or
plastic bag - cabbage will keep for one to
two weeks.
Start cabbage in boiling water, cook
uncovered for a short period of time or until
tender. To reduce the typical cabbage odor
while cooking, place a whole walnut in the
cooking water.
Cook shredded cabbage three to 10
minutes and wedges 10-15.
One pound of raw cabbage will yield four
servings of cooked cabbage.
Texas Historical Commission Notes
Sarah Ridge Paschal Pix: An Indian Woman
By
Myra Hargrave McBvain
Texas Historical Commission
Born in 1814 on the family plantation in the
Cherokee Nation near present Rome
Georgia, Sarah Ridge was the daughter of
Major Ridge, a Cherokee leader and friend
of Sam Houston. Sarah attended Mission
schools and a girls' seminary in Winston-
Salem, North Carolina.
Sarah's father Major Ridge and other
realized white settlers intended to take the
Indians' land and in an effort to keep peace
and receive the best possible exchange,
these men signed a treaty in 1835 which
eventually resulted in the infamous "Trail
of Tears." Cherokees left their land in
present Georgia, and on the trek west it is
estimated that 4,000 died. Major Ridge,
Sarah's brother and cousin were later ass-
assinated for their role in this treaty.
Sarah married a lawyer, George
Washington Paschal, in 1837 and lived in
Arkansas until 1847 when she, the family
and slaves moved to Galveston. During the
1850 Yellow Fever Epidemic, Sarah
welcomed victims into her home and
treated them with orange leaf tea, an Indian
remedy. Ironically, after she divorced
Paschal, she married Charles C. Session Pix
in 1856 in the home of the Republic of Texas
President Mirabeau B. Lamar, whose anti-
Indian policies were well known.
Sarah traded her Galveston home for land
at Smith Point in present Chambers County
and operated a cattle ranch. The Pix cattle
ranged all the way to Liberty. During the
Civil War, Sarah built the ranch into a large
operation, but the end of slavery caused
financial decline.
Sarah divorced Pix in 1880 and she
remained on the ranch with her widowed
daughter Emily Paschal McNeir and and
two grandsons until her death in .1891.
Sarah's heirs still own the land.
The Texas Historical Commission has
placed an Official Texas Historical Marker
honoring Sarah Ridge Paschal Pix on the
FM 562 right-of-way, near McNeir
Cemetery, 0.75 mile north of Smith Point in
Chambers County. This marker is one of
7,000 in the state administered by the Texas
Historical Commission, the official state
agency for historic preservation.

If your little toddler is
reluctant to give up his bot-
tle, psychologists suggest
putting an ounce of milk in
a small glass that he can
handle. Just set it on
the tray every day or so,
hoping he'll drink it. If one
sip is all he takes don't even
try to give him two. Act as
if it doesn't make any differ-
ence to you. Coping with a
reluctant weaner takes a lot
of patience.
