COLESLAW

      Another Saturday has come here in the south, and that means ONE thing. College Football.

     As you know my Gators have fallen on hard times this year. But we still love the game and our Gators.

     So today, I am gearing up for a SEC football double header. Florida / South Carolina and Auburn / Georgia. Should be fun to watch.

     Since this is a double header Saturday, we decided on an in between game meal. We are starting this morning by making some coleslaw. Then as the first game finishes we'll start a special recipe for Sloppy Joe Sandwiches.

Let's begin.

I LOVE COLE SLAW !!! Really, it's my favorite thing and it so easy to make. Yes, you can buy the pre made crap if you are the laziest person on the planet. Go ahead. It was made days ago and has all kinds of preservatives. Not to mention the “additions” stores add. You have no idea what the hell you are eating.

You don't need a football day to make this. It goes with anything. So get your tush off of the couch, and make it fresh. It's not as hard as you think.

INGREDIENTS

1 CABBAGE

3 CARROTS

2 PEPPERS (I use Yellow and Red for color)

1 TSP SALT

1 CUP MAYONNAISE

1 TBL SPOON RICE WINE VINEGAR

PEPPER TO TASTE

¼ TSP WHOLE CELERY SEED

¼ TSP GROUND CELERY SEED

½ CUP SPLENDA

1 gallon paint (seriously) You can pick the color. Just make sure it is a full gallon.

Cut cabbage into quarters and remove center core

Clean carrots and grind with cabbage and peppers in food processor

Add salt and stir

Put in strainer it and place strainer in a bowl

Put strainer and bowl in the sink.

Put a plate on top of cabbage mixture and put the paint on top of the plate (leave it in the can) 

Let it sit for 2.5 hours. Have a beer while you wait

After 2.5 hours Remove paint and the plate and rinse the hell out of it. The slaw, not the paint.

 Put cabbage into a cloth bag

Squeeze the hell out of it to remove excess water. Get as much water removed as possible and place coleslaw into a bowl

ADD Mayo, Vinegar, and Splenda

Stir and taste.

Add pepper to taste.

Put in the fridge box until the game is over. You may need add more mayo. I did.

      Don't forget to be creative. Like Onions in your slaw? Why not? Be like Burger King. Do it your way. This stuff is great with Hot Dogs, Burgers and BEER !!

Let's grab a beer and watch the game.
