Jean posted this recipe in the Superbowl thread. I posted one also, but was not real excited about it...the basil didn't do a thing for it. So today I'm trying Jean's for the fish fry. My question is, does this look like enough for a large head of cabbage and a couple carrots and a bunch of green onions? I'm thinking I need to double it.

COLUMBIA RIVER COLE SLAW

6 Tbsps mayonnaise
2 Tbsps mustard - French's
2 Tbsps sugar
2 Tbsps honey
2 Tbsps vinegar -- cider
4 Tbsps evaporated milk
3/4 tsp horseradish
1 tsp poppy seed

Mix all together and add to:
cabbage, shredded
currants
crushed pineapple
gr. onions
whatever you like to put in your slaw.

Uh...depending on how wet your vegetables are you'll be surprised how far your wet ingredients will go. I normally hand chop stuff for cole slaw. I get it the way I want it and don't have to mess with the beast of a Kitchen Aid food processor I have had sitting on the refrigerator for two years now nest to the KA mixer that is collecting dust as well...lazy I know but I just grab the big knife and chop away.

Thanks, LJ! I'm gonna try one recipe and check...I can always make more and add. I just tried the shredder for it and that isn't what I want. I'm in a hurry, so I'm gonna go with the slicer for the cabbage.

Gotta go! They're gonna start frying in a little while and I want this to marinade in the fridge for a bit before I take it out. I also have a few more things to do around the house before I go out there.

I'm afraid "The Wee Boys" (William's hunting club) are in for a surprise. I don't usually experiment outside the family...LOL! They have me on a pedestal when it comes to cooking, but they may just change their minds today when they find out they're guinea pigs for a new recipe!

I guess I'm too late with an answer, but double or triple the dressing - here's the amount I used to make for the family -

OOOOPS, I'M NOT AT HOME!! Just a quick check in - but, I used to make this (especially in the summer) about 6 or 8 times and keep in the frig. It keeps so well.

It worked out Jean! The head of cabbage was not nearly as large a head as I thought. I had put the big one back....thinking it was going to be just us. I had just enough...hubby didn't trust me that I was going to make it and had gotten some store bought. The guys did try the slaw and loved it! This will be a new standby for our house...unless you get home and post a better one Jean!

The fish were outstanding! There was flounder and trigger fish...the trigger fish is our favorite! It was sooo moist and good! I feel really guilty eating all that fried fish, but the coleslaw was healthy...right!?!?!?

Daphne, I am so glad the whole evening worked out. I would have said, Make one recipe, but be prepared to wing it from there. Sounds like it was a great success!
