My taste have surely evolved over the years. When I was young, the school lunch sometimes included coleslaw and I did not like it! I would wait until I thought nobody was looking and I then I’d use a napkin to wipe it off my plate to make it appear I had eaten all of my food.

When I got older, I met my husband and he loves cole slaw. I didn’t want to refuse so when he offered it to me the first time, I ate it. I was shocked! It tasted really good! It was different from how they made it at my elementary school. He varies the recipe. Sometimes carrots. Sometimes not. Sometimes raisins. Sometimes not. Sometimes red cabbage. Sometimes not. No matter. It always tastes good. His recipe would probably be good if he used pineapple chunks or orange slices, but he draws the line at the raisins. Your recipe sounds tasty too! 🙂

You can make this salad the night before or the same day. Just be sure to allow the salad to refrigerate at least 2 hours so the dressing has enough time to marinate the slaw.

This is a delicious salad. When I was a kid, they used to serve cole slaw with our school lunches. I never liked it! Then I met my husband and he prepared cole slaw for me. I didn’t want to offend him by not eating it, so I ate it. It tasted really good! I’ve been eating it ever since. 🙂

Wow you have completely read my mind. I used to have that problem of decluttering, I always kept receipts in my wallet until I can’t even have space to put anything. Until I realized how messy it could turn out to be. So each time I go out shopping I make sure I have checked the receipt for any important information before I discard it. If it is something that I may need to use later then there is a folder that I got that I use to keep those kinds of receipts. But if they’re not important I throw them away that will help me keep my wallet clean and free of many papers that don’t make any sense. I like the way you have laid it all out am sure most of us if not all have had some kind of issue with that thanks for sharing.

Hmm… I can see that you are very methodical and these are some very useful tips.
