(This is good.) The life of a cabbage (drawing of the top part of a cabbage, filling up the frame, reminiscent of a rising sun.)

(small brown sliver of cabbage, a space between the leaves looking a little bit like a mouth, speaking): I remember when I was young... / I was enormous. / I was beautiful.

Hands holding up enormous cabbage.) Person holding cabbage: WHY???? / She seemed intimidated at first.

It always surprises me that we also need to bring food.

(Carolyn holding in both arms a cabbage bigger than her head, bending actual space and time in the air around her.) On the counter in front of her is a large knife.) / But then she got to work.

(Carolyn leaning on the knife to cut the giant cabbage in half.)

First she made a noodle salad — ribbons of cabbage, spaghetti noodles, a ton of other veggies, and sesame-peanut dresing.

(trippy looking drawing of the inside of a cabbage, the concentric leaves filling up the whole frame.) / Then fried rice. / Then some slices and shavings here and there on tacos, in a green salad.

(drawing of okonomiyaki flour bag) / Then okonomiyaki — somehow this flour + a few basic ingredients turn a mountain of cabbage into a delicious pancake. / (Trippy looking drawing of a cross section of a quarter of a cabbage.)

Some wedges of cabbage roasted brown with olive oil and sprinkled with flaky salt. / More okonomiyaki. / (tiny sliver of cabbage in a crisper drawer) cabbage: It's been a good life.
