Linda C - my DH loved your coleslaw!!!

18 years ago

He is not one to rave - ever! He absolutely loved it. He said it was the best coleslaw I have ever made in 30 years! I had to use 2/3 balsamic and 1/3 white vinegar because I didn't have cider vinegar. It came out quite well with the substitution. Just wanted to let you know and say thanks for the recipe.

Glad your husband liked it. I may try the white vinegar balsamic mix next time.
I find it just gets better upon standing in the refrig for a couple of days.

We got hit here too, 8 inches of very heavy wet stuff. I spent 2 hours shoveling the driveway, the deck, the backyard. Cooper is afraid of the snow and he pooped in the house twice. He's a Michigan dog, fer crying out loud. I finally just tossed him out. He got even by chewing up the cat's catnip mouse and throwing up. We're supposed to get another foot, at least, and we have blizzard warnings. 50 MPH wind gusts, blowing and drifting, white out conditions. Yup, it's winter and it's Michigan. The snowplow plowed me in this morning, Ashley never made it to work/school. There was a 3 foot wall of wet snow at the bottom of the driveway but I just put the Jeep in 4 wheel drive and went to work, not a hesitation. Have I mentioned that I LOVE that Jeep? LOL. We'll see what tomorrow brings, and I have to get out to the farm and check tanks and hay feeders too. It's about 10F here now, but the windchill is way lower than that. Annie

Thanks for the response, newbeginning. I don't think lemon juice and vinegar are 1 T. I read "1 Ã¯Â¿Â½ Tablespoons lemon juice" and "1 Ã¯Â¿Â½ Tablespoons cider vinegar". Not sure if other browsers will see the ? between the 1 and the Tablespoon, as I do. The measure for fresh grated onion IS 1 T. Note that "Tablespoon" is singular here. Not a serious problem. I agree that I can guestimate 1 1/2 for lemon juice and vinegar and 1/2 for garlic. Edited to add this: With suggestions from others, I changed settings in the View menu, as I explained in a later text. I can read the original, but this one turned into upside down ? marks. Weird. Oh, well. They mean 1/2. This post was edited by Bellsmom on Tue, Mar 11, 14 at 16:09

Pumpkin Pie Questions and Linda C's Recipe
Q

Colleen, thanks for that reminder. I have squash in the fridge that I need to use up and I'm thinking maybe a custard type dessert, minus the crust. Grandma used to bake pumpkin pie in custard cups because I never wanted the crust, so I'm thinking that might be the way to use up that leftover squash. I used to use the Libby's recipe, but I've found a 4 egg pumpkin pie from Genius Kitchen and that's become the family favorite. I've also found that squash or sweet potatoes make a reasonable substitute, and so I quit growing pumpkins and use that space for something else, like butternut squash. I can purchase the "sugar pie" pumpkins at my local farmer's market, if I decide that's what I want. Since the "great pumpkin shortage" a couple of years ago, I quit using canned pumpkin at all.

I usually make mine with mayo so that is why DH liked it so much. He not a big fan of mayo. I also subed EV olive oil for the peanut oil.

This sounds similar to the coleslaw dressing recipe my mom always used. I don't like mayo so this is a favorite of mine... (I generally use a bit more onion)

Lowell Inn Dressing for Cole Slaw

3/4 c. vinegar (cider or red wine)
1 c. confectionerÂs sugar
1 tsp. celery seed
1 tsp. salt
1 tbs. grated onion
3/4 c. salad oil

Boil vinegar and sugar for 5 minutes

Add remaining ingredients and store in refrigerator.

This keeps well.

Shake before using and pour over chopped cabbage.

I got this recipe from a friend about 25 years ago and made it often. Everyone always loved it. Because no mayo - it is good for summer gatherings / cookouts. I lost the recipe - could only remember the name had Harvey in it and celery seeds that made it so unique - Thanks for posting the recipe - I will now be making it again!!!

Creamy Coleslaw Dressing

Cole slaw..no exact recipe, shred the cabb, carrot, celery, a bit of onion, sugar, sweet pickle juice, pinch of powdered mustard,pepper,reg. mayo unless the "gag me mayo" group is here, ha! and a dollop of sour cream.

I don't stock powdered mustard so I think I sub hot Hungarian Paprika
