Back in July, we were out at the lake and Mrs. Hepburn whipped up some coleslaw. The Boy from Texas went on and on about how it was just the very best coleslaw he had ever eaten. So I valiantly tried my best to re-create the dish at home. Maybe food just tastes better at the lake? Or maybe she has some magic touch? Regardless, while mine was deemed "decent," it sure wasn't the original.

| View from the lake house...no wonder food tastes better here. |
Nevertheless, I liked it and it was a really great summer addition to the menu because it's cool, fresh, and amazingly simply to make!
Mrs. Hepburn's Coleslaw
2 heaping T mayo
1-2 t white vinegar
1-2 t fresh lime juice
Salt and pepper to taste
1/3 head cabbage
Fresh cilantro to taste
(I might also add some shredded carrots or some chopped apple next time!)
Mix mayo, vinegar, lime juice, salt and pepper. You sort of have to taste this as you go to see when you think the mixture is right. Mrs. H says it's always easier to add more vinegar so start lightly with that.
Chop cabbage and add to dressing mix. Stir until well coated.
Top with fresh cilantro.
