Coleslaw Recipe
A great coleslaw recipe!
INGREDIENTS
1 cabbage
1 tablespoon of Lemon juice
1 cup of mayonnaise
1/2 teaspoon of black pepper
1/2 cup of onion, diced very fine
DIRECTIONS
Cut the core out of the cabbage and cut it into pieces. My mother likes to
cut it into big pieces; I like to cut it into little pieces. I think she
wants to make certain that nobody will accuse her of having used a food
processor. Mix the pepper and lemon juice and onion in with the cabbage.
Add the mayonnaise, mix well and refrigerate.
Vary the amount of mayonnaise according to how much you are worried about calories.
Vary the amount of onion if you do or don't like raw onion.

between your hands. Add salt, pepper, sage, thyme and chopped onion to the bowl, and stir

Hot Rum Toddy Recipe
DIRECTIONS
1 lb Dark brown sugar
1 teaspoon of White cardamom
1/2 lb Butter, salted
ground
1 teaspoon of Nutmeg, ground
Dark rum, top-quality
1 teaspoon of Cinnamon, ground
1 teaspoon of Cloves, ground
DIRECTIONS
MAKING THE BATTER: Put all batter ingredients (everything but the rum) in
a food processor and run it until the mixture turns creamy. Fold it down
once with a rubber spatula to make sure the spices are blended in, and run
the food processor some more.
Scoop the mixture into a plastic container, and refrigerate. It will keep
for many months in the refrigerator, even though it contains butter.
MAKING THE DRINKS: Fill a coffee mug half full of boiling water. The
easiest way to do this is to put a mug of hot water in the microwave. If
you don't have a microwave, then fill the mug with boiling water, pour it
out, then fill it half full of boiling water.
Add about 2 generous tablespoons of batter. Stir until the batter
dissolves in the hot water. I use a small wire whisk for this stirring.
Add 2 jiggers (about 3 oz) of the best rum you can afford. When I make
this in quantities for parties I like to use Myers Dark Rum.
