Delicious recipe

I made this for dinner and totally love it--it smells great cooking, too. It's called Country-style sausage potato salad:
3 lbs red potatoes, cut into 1-inch chunks, boiled until tender and drained
2 T cider vinegar, divided
1 9 oz(at least) Summer sausage or kielbasa, cut lengthwise into quarters, then sliced
2 T packed brown sugar
2 T Dijon mustard
1 T olive oil
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
1/2 c. sliced green onions
1/4 c. chopped parsley
Place warm potatoes in serving bowl; toss with 1 T vinegar. Cook sausage in medium skillet over medium heat until nearly crisp, about 5 minutes; drain and set aside. Combine brown sugar, mustard, oil, remaining 1 T vinegar, salt and pepper in small bowl. Pour brown sugar mixture, sausage, onions and parsley over potatoes; toss to mix. Serve warm. Serves about 8.
And now for some news of a totally different nature, and sad news at that...Zach's pet rat, Twiggy, doesn't seem to be doing too well. Zach acquired her exactly one month ago for his 11th birthday, at which time he actually said, "I don't know how I can ever repay you!" (And his mother treasured this, and pondered it in her heart.) Twiggy is a she-rat, and she is breathing heavily and acting lethargic. It may be that she has a cold. We have a hot water bottle in there for her and a towel. I hope she mends...I just paid Petco a visit yesterday so I could provide some upgrades for her "crib."It was like "Extreme Home Makeover" on a really small scale--swooping down with my money bags to overhaul her shack with a home gym, a top of the line dining bowl, chew sticks, and provisions for her cupboards. Get well, Twiggy!
