KFC Cole Slaw
Servings: 10
8 cups cabbage — grated in food processor
1/4 cup carrot — grated in food processor [I use 4-5 carrots, just because]
DRESSING:
1/3 cup sugar [or more, or apple juice concentrate too]
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
1/4 cup milk
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup buttermilk
1 1/2 tablespoons white vinegar
2 1/2 tablespoons lemon juice
1. Combine cabbage and carrots in a large bowl.
2. Mix dressing ingredients and stir to make sure all the sugar has dissolved.
3. Pour dressing over cabbage and toss well. Refrigerate at least two hours or overnight.
4. Stir well before serving.
Salad mixing idea:
When I make it, I put all the grated cabbage and carrots in a large plastic bag, make the dressing and pour it in the bag. That way I can roll the bag around a little bit to marinate the cabbage. It’s much better if allowed to sit for 24 hours, providing you have the time.
Not me, the author of the post where I found the recipe.

OH you have got to try this!
Hard-boiled eggs can be annoying and time consuming to peel.... how easy it is to get the egg without having to peel it! Let us know when you do! |
*salutes*
Reporting in, ma'am!
I have done this for 3 separate batches of eggs so far. It works!! …..
Tim Ferris must have lot stronger lungs than I do though. I ended up having to peel the larger end a big bigger than he did. Had to make sure it was fully dilated before I started to push.  |

I share this at the risk of encouraging more eww from the peanut gallery. Mom showed me how to blow raw eggs out of their shells. You poke a hole at either end and blow that sucker like Gabriel's horn. It takes a surprising amount of effort, especially with a very fresh egg. You use the egg for egg drop soup, and the shell gets decorated for Easter and doesn't rot. (My mom had some gorgeous Hungarian decorated Easter eggs; kept them for years. Of course, they were real eggs, not just shells, and while cleaning house one time I accidentally put my thumb in one. Smelled bad for hours.) |

The process itself didn't get my an "Ewww." from me, but Twopop's metaphor did. Nothing in your post requires any "Ewww." from me, Lady.

That's only because you Daddies out there watched the "egg blowing" from the other end.  |

Triple eew on that picture lol   . BTW, why not just hard boil the egg and then decorate? Why bother draining it?

Draining it removes all the stuff that will rot/smell/etc. A properly blown egg will last a long time (at least as far as spoiling goes, although it's considerably more fragile).

One last word about the eggs - I promise!
After doing this 4 times, I realized there's one small detail left out of the instructions ... you must blow the egg out right away. As soon as it has cooled down a bit, peel it.
If you put them in the frig for later, the shell will not peel off easily. |

Well, I tried the egg maneuver myself. It actually worked pretty well. If by pretty well I mean that the shell split and the egg fell out. Of course, I did this pretty soon after chilling the egg.
One of the eggs broke in the boiling water, and half of the white and yolk leaked out through a crack in the shell. When it came time to peel that one, it was really interesting, because the shell was half empty. Looked like someone had deflated what was inside.

Only posting this for people who just might be old enough to know who Gracie Allen was.(... and some who can simply appreciate a good recipe)
Gracie Allen's Classic Recipe for Roast Beef
1 large Roast of beef
1 small Roast of beef
Take the two roasts and put them in the oven.
When the little one burns, the big one is done.

|
CARIBBEAN FUDGY BROWNIES
1/2 cup butter
3 ounces unsweetened baking chocolate
1 1/4 cups sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 teaspoon spicy or dark rum
1/8 teaspoon Jamaican allspice (optional)
2 eggs
1 cup flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
Pre-heat oven to 350°F.
Grease 8 inch square baking pan, greasing only the bottom and leaving the sides ungreased.
In a medium saucepan, stir together chocolate and butter over low heat setting until smooth, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat. Stir in sugar.
Whisk in eggs, one at a time, stirring well after each addition. Stir in flour, baking powder and salt, vanilla and rum; stir only until mixture is smooth and all ingredients are combined.
Spread mixture into baking pan.
Bake for 25 to 35 minutes or until brownies just begin to pull away from sides of pan. Watch carefully near later stage of cooking period to prevent overbaking or brownies may become dry. If your brownies consistently are dry or overbaked, try reducing oven temperature by 25 degrees.
Allow to cool before slicing into squares.
Note: To make a double batch, double all ingredients and use a 13x9 inch baking pan. Bake 35 to 40 minutes.
VARIATIONS: Add one of the following - 3/4 cup walnuts, pecans, macadamia nuts, raisins, chocolate or peanut butter chips, or sprinkle chocolate chips over top just before baking.
If you like your brownies a little lighter, add 1/4 teaspoon baking soda and a teaspoon of molasses.
