Boiled Cole Slaw Dressing
We really do love cole slaw, but we find that there are some cole slaws we love more than others. Neither AdventureMan nor I are big into mayonaiss-y cole slaws, we find we like vinegary cole slaws better. Probably we like vinegary ones better because many many years ago a wonderful friend gave us this recipe for cole slaw dressing, and it is our hands down favorite.
When I first came to Qatar and wanted to make this dressing, I looked everywhere for poppy seeds, only to be told that they are ILLEGAL in Qatar, I guess they think we are all going to get high on poppy seeds or something. I was told poppy seeds are legal in Kuwait, but as hard as I looked, I never found any. I will admit, from time to time I have to bring some back with me, just so I can make this Cole Slaw Dressing.
It is sweet – and tart. I also use it on cucumbers, and I like it even better!
1/2 cup sugar
1/3 cup vinegar
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup oil
1 Tablespoon poppy seed
1 teaspoon dry mustard
1/2 teaspoon onion juice (I use grated onion)
Bring all to a boil. Cool before using. Enough for one medium large head of cabbage. (Slice cabbage into thin shreds.) I also don’t let the dressing get too cool; I like the way it wilts the cabbage a little.

thats a nice dressing, gotta try it sometime.
that’s nice
Technology does offer hope to control the traffic problems . like i said once before , cars have been left to the control of the humans far too long .
Take the problem of speeding where does it come from ?
A) Driver which is an unpredictable human being
B) Engine which is powerful and dumb at the same time
C) Control of the two A+B which is lacking .
Now technology is available to eliminate the scourge of over speeding in all the roads in urban areas by using the existing cell phone towers all around us .
cars will be provided with a limiting chip that is in contact with the controlling system through the mobile towers and once the driver over speeds he (She) will get a message on the dashboard saying slow down now or the limiting chip is triggered and the car is speed is limited to whatever is indicated on the GPS (navigator ) map.
Any violation and the fine is sent to the driver or to dad or Mom instantly via SMS , the message starts with a friendly Greetings from your moroor (Traffic – DMV) department You have been fined KD 20 for your violation of over speeding , Have a good day.
Also cars should have different driver moods , say if you get behind the wheel and you feel stupid then you push the stupid button and the car’s driving characteristics will be set to take care of the lapses that you may make or if you feel happy then you push happy mood button so your car behaves accordingly or if you feel aggressive then you push the AGGRESSIVE MODE the car will limit your speeding and your zigzaging abilities and hardens your brakes and at the end of a hardworking day you push the Take Me Home button and you doze off in your seat to the sound of your favorite music while your car sends another SMS to your microwave to reheat yesterdays pot roast for dinner .
