the scarlet dance of Alsatian cabbage

When a red cabbage meets a red apple, they start dancing…

Ball gown…

Lace…

Ribbons…

Silk…

After a hot bath (in vinegared water), they go to bed, with fried onion and red wine.

You’ve slept long hours (in the oven). It’s time get up… and show your jewels (chestnuts).
