You gotta update the cook blog. I love cooking the recipes, Makes me feel like I'm home.

Mac,
Such emails make even a lazy git like your mother get going. I guess you knew that. So here's a new addition - a recipe for coleslaw that takes about 10 minutes all in, tastes great and is super easy.
Why coleslaw you are probably asking yourself? I don't like it that much. It's not so special. Where are the recipes of my childhood?
But you've never had this coleslaw. Baba asks for it all the time. Try it cause your Mama knows best.
Ingredients
1. One head of cabbage - pointed spring cabbage is a bit easier to work with but it really doesn't matter. Any cabbage, any colour is fine.
2. Mayonnaise - this matters a lot. I use Duke's which I bring back from North Carolina but it's not sold outside the South (there's a business idea) so buy the best you can get and make sure it doesn't have sugar in it. Totally unnecessary.
3. Olive oil
4, vinegar
5. caraway seeds
Cut the cabbabe in half. Watch your fingers. Cut out the hard bit at the bottom shaped like a triangle and throw it away.
Then cut into quarters and slice each quarter into very thin strips. Make sure you have a decent knife. If you don't, buy one. If you do, makes sure its sharp and buy a sharpener if you don't have one. You can't cook without a decent knife.
In a large bowl mix 1 cup of mayonnaise, a 1/2 cup of olive oil, 1/2 cup of vinegar and a large handful of caraway seeds plus salt and pepper.
Put the sliced cabbabe in the bowl with all the ingredients and mix. Let it sit for a few minutes to soak up the flavours.
You can also add finely sliced vegetable like carrots or peppers but I like it plain. Hope you do too.
