Saturday 21 March
Something unusual today - we went
out to a movie. It was a matinee of "What we Do in the Shadows" (bloody hysterical) we saw along with our friend Kathy.
After it we brought her back to a simple dinner of corned
beef sandwiches. Because there was plenty of corned beef
left over from Wednesday to pile on top of Holt's pane pugliese, with our homemade grain mustard and cornichons. And she kindly supplied a selection of beers (red wine would have been too much, after that movie).
On Wednesday we had also taken the
three-quarters of a head of green cabbage that we didn't boil for dinner,
shredded it thin, tossed with salt and cider vinegar, and let it relax for a couple of days. Yesterday we drained it of extra water, mixed
in enough mayonnaise to moisten it thoroughly, and seasoned the mix with a good sprinkle celery
seed, a little dry mustard, a touch of prepared horseradish, and a little more cider
vinegar.
One of the best cole slaws
we've made, and it's always nice to share a good Saturday meal with a friend.
