Sweet Slaw

When I was little I loved coleslaw. When I was ten years old I found out that it was made out of cabbage. Cabbage! I couldn't believe it! How could an awful, smelly cabbage taste so good? Well it turns out that the secret's in the sauce. Here's a quick and easy recipe that will forever change the way you see the slaw.

Sweet Coleslaw

Ingredients:
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup vinegar (we used apple cider)
1/2 cup of sugar
salt and pepper to taste
1 shredded cabbage
1 shredded carrot
the juice of 1/2 a lemon


For this recipe all you really need to do is mix the dressing then add the veggies. That's it. Yes, it's that simple. If you don't want to shred your own cabbage then one of those bagged coleslaw mixes will be fine. Don't go for the bottled dressing though - it's always better to make your own. This dish gets better as you let the ingredients sit together so we strongly suggest that you prepare it at least a day before you plan on eating it especially if you're bringing it to some sort of potluck picnic.


We hope you enjoy this slaw! It's good on hamburgers and (especially) hotdogs or just on its own. Keep cooking, friends, and remember:


No kitchen, no problem!

The Most Awesome Thing a Toothbrush Can Do

Alright, here we go!

Everything you need

To pull out the bristles simply grasp with your needle-nose pliers  and...

twist until they come free. Use the pin, paperclip, or tweezers (pretty much whichever works for you) to dig out the little metal things holding the bristles in.

Nuke in a pan of warm water for 5 minutes

With a towel start bending you brush/bracelet...

until it looks something like that.

Now put it on your wrist to size it properly. Then drop it in some cold water to harden.

And there you have it.

Holy Guacamole, Batman!

We are of the belief that if you add avocado to pretty much anything, it will instantly become awesome. That being said one of our favorite snacks is chips and guacamole. It's so simple to make and it only takes five minutes!

The makings of the best dip to come out of a Mexican restaurant since queso.

Ingredients:
-1 ripe avocado (dark green and kinda squishy)
-1/4 of a lemon or lime's juice
-1/4 cup of your favorite chunky salsa
-salt, pepper, and garlic salt to taste
-fresh cilantro if available


To those out of the loop peeling an avocado can be a slippery, squishy mess. The best way to do it is to slice it longways and twist the halves apart. Then take the half with the pit in it and whack the pit with your knife (we would suggest you protect your hand with a kitchen towel) then twist to remove. Take a large spoon and scoop the meat out of the skin. Mash the avocado then add the juice, salsa, and seasonings to taste. If you don't have fresh cilantro don't add the dry version - it's just not tasty. Serve with your favorite chips and let the party begin!

The best thing an avocado can aspire to be.

Yes, we know that this guacamole kinda looks like baby food gone bad but don't be fooled! The addition of the salsa brings a subtle heat to the cool, fresh flavor of the avocado that we're sure you will absolutely love. This recipe serves four grazers or two hungry college students a snack chocked full of antioxidants and omega-3 fatty acids!


So keep cooking, friends, and remember:


No kitchen, no problem!
