I’ve made my coleslaw with the food processor.
I have to use the shredder wheel,
and it just isn’t good enough.
The slice wheel leaves very long strands.
And you have to angle the chunks.
It makes a mess.
And compounds the work.
Because you’ll be hand chopping anyway.
The mandolin is far better.
As long as you [...]

I was in the store, next to the berries was a lovely tray,
with dipping sauces for strawberries
. Flavored Cream Cheese, in one, dripping warm chocolate in the other.
I made my own blend. I chopped/minced 4 berries [...]

it.
Actually it’s been easy to do [...]

Leslie’s Stash
My daughter in law, Leslie, is facing a round,
of chemo, treatments.
Yesterday they met with the
doctors to make a schedule
and detail the
course of action.
She’s young and full of life. Her attitude is amazing. She
has three young children. Too young to watch their Mommy
go through this.
I was able to hit a very nice Yarn [...]
