NOTES : I core the cabbage and put the entire cabbage in boiling water until
leaves can be removed.

I also double the sauce. We like a lot of juice.

When adding sour cream. I add some of the hot liquid to the sour cream first.
Then add the sour cream to the hot liquid. Silly, I know you all know how to
do that.

Also I don't use toothpicks on rolls. I just put them seam side down in the
pan.
