Maybe it was just me but the cabbage rolls I had in the oven only smelled good not that usual foul smell cooking cabbage often gets. Maybe it was the combination of the stuffing? Or maybe I just like the smell of food cooking! Ha!

I am with you on that Cyn; I also think my cabbage rolls smell delicious.
.....cabbage stinks when it is been boiled like in Corn Beef and Cabbage and usually boilded far too long (or in Kim Chee ) or old cole slaw that has sat around too long in the back of the fridge. Brussel spouts can also have that distinctive sulfur smell if over cooked.
Yes, good luck Lacey! Nice autumn day here today. It will be spent watching football, naturally.
We are going to a friend of a friends house to watch the Bills-Dolphins game. Most of the "crew" I hang out with here are from Rochester/Fairport area of NY so they are all Bills fans and I have become one by default

I agree-for the short time you have to cook to loosen leaves it's minimal. They're all done and it the fridge in garage awaiting their fate in the oven at low and slow and that's where the great smells will come from.
I forgot to mention how I did the leaves on my cabbage---the cabbage weighed in at over 5lbs...yes huge. I don't have a pot big enough around to boil it in and still being able put my hands in the pot to pull off the leaves as they got soft! The head was to tight to try to just pull off the leaves without cooking so I put the whole cabbage head in my steamer and it worked like a champ. I just peeled off the leaves as they got just soft enough to pull off. Wow...and I thought of that all on my own! Ha!

You did good cyn.....when I put the cabbage in the pot, I remove it to take off the softened leaves and then put it back to soften some more...but it sounds as if your steamer...(I dont have one) worked great.
