Stacy, I have more time now, and thus, here it is: I started by browning the brats, added chopped garlic, and carrot slices, then the chopped up cabbage simmered all for a bit, then added chicken stock. That's the stock I had at hand. simmered till the whole house smelled yummy... ;) I had one package of sausage, I think it was 6 a BUNCH of garlic, almost a whole garlic I think it was 4 large carrots and there were two heads of cabbage, and finally 1 container of chicken stock Hope this helps. Moni

You might remember that Smudge likes bringing us pillows from the couch. Every nite he takes one off the couch and drags it into the bedroom for us. Every morning there's a pillow beside the bed. He often does it when we're out as well, and we always check to see where a pillow might be. One morning it was in the tub wedged under the spout. THAT I would loved to have seen. Here is his latest delivery spot.

Casey -- beautiful picture, as always. Was it unusually cold when you shot that? We get skies that look that way when it is brutally cold in our area.

lgmd....I totally agree with you. The new vanities with feet are the same height as a kitchen counter, adds 4". Then the bowl is another 6" tall.....then I pushed the sink back in the corner to free up counter space. This house is 4 levels, lots of stairs. Even the redwood decking is multi level. The person who rents this house will be in pretty good shape just to maneuver around the house. It's near a big park and creek trail. If a person is short...maybe a child, then there are two other bathrooms to choose from. My renters are generally just out of college, has a ton of tuition debt , new job with a big paycheck, a dog(running companion) and a cat or two(apartments won't accept cats or big dogs, but I will). Or military, will be here 3 years then PCS. I got 100 applicants for the last one that became available.
