A cabbage-y compromise

My Thanksgiving hostess said that cole slaw would be fine, but I did not ignore the comments of the fine folks who are kind enough to read my scribbles

That sounds delicious - but what is a kerbie?

[elissaann]

Did I spell it wrong? It's a squat, firm, flavorful cucumber. I'm looking it up right now.

Oops.

Kirby, not kerby.

Ah! Without the "cucumber" addition, I wouldn't have known it. Thanks!

I've taken to throwing handfuls of dried cranberries into my slaws, in part to compensate for my loss of taste, but they also provide a nice color/contrast texture. (And since acquiring a mandoline, I've been making a lot more slaws!)

I shall look for dried cranberries in the morning.

That sounds great. I, too, don't know what a kirby is. Must google.

Sounds yummy!
