I unexpectedly ended up with an extra cabbage this week from someone else’s CSA delivery. Winning!

Except I really didn’t know what I was going to do with an extra cabbage. This has literally never been an issue in my life before.

Anyway, so I was googling coleslaw, which as far as I can tell is currently a catch-all term for ‘healthy stuff cut up really small, mixed with less healthy stuff that tastes really good.’ And I thought ‘okay, that’s manageable.’

So I chopped up the cabbage until I got bored, and then a little more so it would fit into the dish I’d allotted for this particular endeavor, and I mixed it The Most Delicious Sauce (butter, onion, garlic, salt), and I put it in the fridge and hoped for the best.

Conclusion: I ate it on toast and it was good!

Betcha money that's better than the coleslaw I paid money for a couple days ago. I mean to be fair that's a really low bar? But it does sound like a good coleslaw and I might see if I can work out something similar next time I see cabbage in the grocery store.

I've never been a huge fan of any kind of slaw, but when life hands you cabbages... Also, I am facepalming because I forgot the key ingredient in the Most Delicious Sauce -- mustard!

3 Tbsp butter
1 Tbsp mustard (whatever kind you like)
chopped up onion (however much you want)
1/4 tsp garlic powder (or not, if you're not a garlic fan)
1/4 tsp salt (or however much you like)

I hope you have a Cole's Law experience next time and not a Murphy's Law one! :)

The only garlic-involving recipe that can justify calling for one clove of garlic is a recipe for how to cook one clove of garlic—and even then, use two :P

That does sound delicious, yes :)
