I've never heard it used for cabbage rolls
It's very much a German thing, according to my neighbors and that Wikipedia article Aimee linked to. I think the hot dogs and crescent rolls is probably Betty Crocker's '50s update of the traditional English sausage-and-pancakes.
Love that mid-20th-century comfort food. I am now so jonesing for hot dogs and crescent rolls.
We did it as hot dogs and crescents but my mother will be the first to admit we don't have a culinary tradition to stand up for.

Full of delicious nitrates!
I have skipped many posts. There was an adventure involving a broken radiator hose, and freezing MN winter weather last night.

This. Very this.
"White Wedding" is about Billy objecting to his little sister getting married. Really. I wonder if his sister laughs at him, considering she's still hitched to the guy.
I've always thought it had a fairly creepy - of that special backwoods isolation type - subtext.
I no longer know what I thought pigs in a blanket was, since all of the definitions sound plausible to me. Also? Icky. But that could be my DH's influence in not mixing milk and meat -- after seven years of mostly eating this way with him the thought of certain combinations makes me queasy. Fortunately, that queasiness does not yet apply to a good cheeseburger.
My delivery people showed up at 9:21 a.m. Not bad. And now I have pretty chairs.
DH keeps sort of kosher. Doesn't mix milk and meat, no delicious pig products, shellfish, etc. I have one cheap fry pan and one wooden spoon that I have promised not to corrupt with meat products (for his scrambled eggs) but have told him that there will be no other separations of dishes/utensils.
Personally, I believe it is a way for him to help justify his eating habits, which are generally those of a 7 year old boy. (Few vegetables, pasta, meat, potatoes, mac & cheese, no sauces or gravy, no soups, etc.)
I tease that I made a mistake marrying him, but really it just gives me a good excuse to go out for sushi regularly with my girlfriends.

That's me, rotting myself with artificial ingredients since 1961.
Though I prefer turkey hot dogs these days.
re: "White Wedding"--wouldn't it be horrible to have your big brother's biggest hit be something about you? I always wondered what went through George Harrison's mind whenever he heard "Layla."
