'Semi-Homemade with Boyhowdy' - Episode #1

Step aside, Sandra Lee...Boyhowdy's in the kitchy! Never being really crazy about cole slaw before, I seemed to equate the cabbage concoction with that sour little side cup from KFC. That is, until I discovered, then tweaked, this recipe.

Now before starting, I must admit that I'm more of an 'eyeballer' than 'exact-measurer'...but as long as the dish appeals, I don't sweat the details.

Here's what you need:
About 1/3-head of cabbage, finely-chopped (or in gourmand's parlance, a coarse chiffonade)
For the dressing,
A couple healthy dollops of mayonnaise
Two capfuls of apple cider vinegar (I suppose regular distilled vinegar can be substituted, but the cider variety is a little more 'mellow')
Equivalent of two packets of sugar
About 3 Tbsp. finely-chopped sweet onion
Black pepper to taste (already added to the onion below)

Simply mix together all dressing ingredients.

Then, add to cabbage.

Viola! Best to let the slaw sit in the fridge for a couple hours. Will keep for about three days...I actually think it tastes better after 24 hours. Also, finely-chopped carrot can be added for some color.

There you have it...the first installment of 'Semi-Homemade with Boyhowdy'! Sorry, no 'tablescapes'.
