Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons flour
1 1/2 cups milk
4 cups cabbage* -- coarsely chopped
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1/4 pound longhorn cheese -- grated
1/4 pound American cheese -- grated
1/2 cup cornflakes

*5 cups if needed

Salt and cook the cabbage with very little water until tender. Drain
well. Grease a baking dish. Alternate a layer of cabbage, a layer of
grated cheese (a mixture of longhorn and processed), and then a layer of
white sauce. Top with a layer of cheese and sprinkle with cornflake
crumbs. Bake at 350° until the ingredients are heated through and the
cheese is golden brown. Serves: 6

Make medium white sauce by melting butter over low heat, adding flour,
and cooking a few minutes. Add milk and stir constantly until thickened
(about 10 minutes).

HISTORICAL NOTE:
Mrs. Annetta Howard's Boarding House sits just across the tracks of the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad in Rowlesburg, WV, once an important railroad
center. Mrs. Howard came to Rowlesburg with her doctor-husband, who set
up practice while she busied herself running the hotel and dining room.
She is still there serving home-cooked meals, but appreciates a call in
advance, if you are comming.
