Funnies and Beach Food

Comedienne Jeanne Robertson does a routine on why men shouldn’t go to the grocery store. John and I both laughed out loud on this one (even though it’s been around for a while). Click here to check it out.
=================================================

Bar Slaw (Vinegar slaw)

 

Shred one large head of cabbage. Layer this alternately with thinly sliced onions in a large bowl. Pour 1 scant cup of sugar over the top of this and let stand while making the following dressing:
      1 c. vinegar
      2/3 c. vegetable oil
      1 tsp. mustard
      1 Tbsp. salt
      1 tsp. celery seed

Bring dressing ingredients to a boil and pour over cabbage and onions while hot. Refrigerate for at least four hours, keeping covered. Will keep indefinitely in the refrigerator. (Hint: do not use purple cabbage unless you want pink slaw.)
