I LOVE cabbage. Got to when you're Pennsylvania German and a lot of your friends have Hungarian and Polish backgrounds...
Two very common winter dishes in my house when I was a kid were steamed cabbage and potatoes. Essentially you slice up some cabbage, slice up some potatoes, put them in a covered pot with a bit of water, and then let the steam do its magic. Serve with lots of butter and salt and pepper.
The other was creamed cabbage. Shred the cabbage fairly fine, then parboil it for a few minutes just to start it softening. Drain well, mix with a medium white sauce (and, if you want, cheese), put in a casserole, cover, and cook until almost done. When almost done remove the cover, add a layer of buttered crumbs, and cook until the crumbs are nice and brown.
Tonight it's going to be really miserable and cold, so I think it's time for a pot of creamy chicken and vegetable soup.
