- Dice a yellow onion. Wipe eyes.
- De-skin those four uncooked pork and leek sausages you were wondering what you were going to do with and add them to the onion.
- Sprinkle liberally with dried sage. (Note that it's really too bad the sage plant in the window box doesn't have much foliage on it.) Add lots of fresh-ground black pepper and a little salt.
- Add about a cup of the brown rice your husband cooked earlier.
- Add an egg.
- Moosh. Mooshmoosh.
- Blanch 12 or 14 good-sized cabbage leaves in salted water and drain. Savoy cabbage totally rocks for this.
- Put 2 or 3 tablespoons' worth of the sausage goodness in the middle of a cabbage leaf, fold into a tidy packet, and secure with a toothpick. (In the UK toothpicks are called cocktail sticks, which is silly because they are too short to go in a cocktail and besides, who wants a sharp stick of wood in your drink?)
- Have a heated argument with your husband about how the water heater works. Mutter to yourself as you
- Put all the pretty packets into a big skillet and slop on 3 or 4 cups of the tomato sauce you made last week.
- Cover and simmer gently for 40 minutes.
- NOM. (Don't forget to remove the toothpicks.)
