Saturday at the Farmers' market

It's raining today at the market--not a great way to shop for vegetables. But football season is starting, and here's a great way to prepare veggies on a grill for a tailgate party.

Tailgater Vegetables

1 small cabbage, cored and cut into six wedges
2 tablespoons soft butter or margarine
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
4 medium carrots, cut into 1-inch pieces
2 ribs celery, cut into 1-inch pieces
1 small onion, cut into 6 wedges
1/2 pound whole fresh mushrooms
1 small green pepper, cut into pieces

Spread butter on the sides of the cabbage wedges. Place cabbage on a piece of heavy duty foil (about 24 in. by 18 in.). Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Arrange the rest of the vegetables around the cabbage. Seal the foil and grill, covered, over medium heat for 30 minutes or until vegetables are done, turning occasionally. Serves six.
