Risotto with Savoy Cabbage and Chicken Sausage

Oh, wow, having a cold is horrible. It's been so long since I've been sick, that I couldn't really remember how annoying it is to be under the weather. But, last weekend it all came back to me. It started with a lump in the throat and then the fun continued on from there -- …
