Hi Kyle,

            I am chuckling!! My American step/adopted father refers to my
Mom and I as his little Cabbage Heads!! Ironically enough neither my Mom nor
I eat saurkraut!! We don't like it!! LOL   She and I both make at
Christmas/Thanksgiving a traditional Sweet Sour Red Cabbage - which everyone
loves!! Uses a fresh head of cabbage!! Grin. Prussian is good - I come from
an old Aristocratic Prussian family - That was imported by the Czar to
Russian to be the Military Governers of St Petersburg ( in 1801 - plotted
the assassination of the Czar - grateful buggers!!) . Needless to say we
lost place - during the Russian Revolution!!

                                Brightest Blessings
                                       Trisha
