(My grandmother used to also use it as a rubbing alcohol on sore joints, and on her chest, when she had a cold, as well as adding a teaspoon of it to her hot tea and honey. She would also put a few drops on a cotton ball, squeeze out any excess fluid, and place a piece of the damp cotton ball it in our ears, over night, to clear up a head cold).

The men in my family prefer the rice and meat filling for the cabbage rolls, but my favorite filling is rice and sauteed mushrooms, baked in vegetable or chicken broth, and served with mushroom gravy.
I am sure your family will appreciate a nice dinner surprise. Happy Easter!!
