I know I'm not a farmer. I have a small plot of a garden that I tend to overplant. It's actually, I think, a geometric work of art that I fit so many varieties of vegetables in such a tiny space. I don't have acreage. I have a 22x16 foot rectangle. But I love it. And I nurture it. And I get ridiculous pleasure from weeding and harvesting. Blame it on my parents. I was born in a city. I lived in other big cities. Chicago. Kansas City. Indianapolis. These are difficult places to have a garden. And now I find myself singing, "Give me land, lots of land, and the starry skies above. Don't fence me in!" At the top of my lungs. While driving by farms. I really am a dork.
But I was a chilly dork today. And hungry. So I sliced up an apple and half a cabbage and a package of smoked sausage and made myself a delicious, and filling dinner. Now the Brain and I are going to settle in to watch the Cav's game. I think I might close the windows first though.
Sausage with Cabbage and Apples
1 1lb package of smoked sausage
1 half of a small head of cabbage shredded
1 Granny Smith apple thinly sliced
1/4 cup apple juice
2 Tbsp cider vinegar
Cut the smoked sausage into 2 inch pieces and cook them for about 4 minutes in a nonstick skillet to brown. Add cabbage, apple and juice to skillet and toss. Cook until cabbage is tender, but not mushy and sausage is heated through. Add vinegar to skillet and cook for 1 minute. Serve immediately.

You know the German would love this. I was anxious about my little bit of herbs .The sage took some damage in the storm and I salvaged some basil for pizza!Have a cozy evening.
that looks awesome!! i love good sausage. oh wow, there's so much to catch up on! Husby took our computer apart, and its been in pieces on the floor for weeks. therefore no blogging or reading of blogs. it's back together now :) how is your knee? how's the Brain? how is everything?! lots of good things, i hope!
I love sausage. It's the misplaced Milwaukian in me. Polish or brat ... just about my favorite thing. Also, I used to like gardening, but now find it a pain in the ass. Perhaps it's because I killed so much. Also, we're zone THREE.
That looks like a perfect dinner!
And we are planting this weekend, so I'm going to be the same!
