Mom's Coleslaw

every once in a while i get a hankering for my mom's style of coleslaw. in fact, i made some last night after talking about comfort food on my other blog.

here is how i make it:

1 bag shredded cabbage ( i buy the pre-bagged stuff, just plain cabbage because i don't like carrots in my coleslaw.)
2 bunches of green onions sliced up (i just realized last night that i could use my kitchen shears for this rather than a paring knife. DOH!)

mix cabbage and onions together in a bowl.

dressing:

8 oz sour cream (or plain yoghurt if you prefer)
1 cup of mayonaise (my personal favorite is best foods)
2 T red wine vinegar
1 dash worchester sauce
lawry's garlic salt and lemon pepper to taste

mix in separate bowl and pour over cabbage and onion mixture. stir together and enjoy.

Giada's pregnant!

when exactly did i become a martha stewart wannabe?

last year i made this for the "pumpkin pie" contest at work. they said it didn't actually have to be pie, as long as it was made with pumpkin. i called this my pumpkin - pumpkin cake.


this year i stuck to the rules. i made this from scratch. i cooked the pumpkin, i seasoned it, i made the crust, i cut out those freakin leaves. i did it all.

because this is hysterical...

iron chef masaharu morimoto...

i snuck out of work a few minutes early this afternoon so that i could get to santana row by 5:00pm. my friend mrs. L had told me that the iron chef was going to be at sur la table for a book signing. she was unable to make it due to a prior commitment so i went in her stead.

this first picture is from the cooking demo that chef morimoto did.

this picture is from the book signing portion of the night. i was number 3 in line. when i thanked him in japanese, he got a huge smile on his face and shook my hand again and said "thank you so much..." :) how cool is that?
