Thanks, Mom

I have told you before that there are certain things my mom makes better than anyone else (in my opinion of course) and while I've conquered some of them, others I still refuse to make. Not b/c I don't I think, but b/c I know they will never taste as good as hers, so what's the point??!! That's right mom, I'll still be coming home for your Beef and Noodles and Salmon Patties! The next "mom only" food I was ready to check off my list was her coleslaw. It is the same recipes her mom makes, and they both have been making it for years, and not once had I even tried! But it was time and luckily I wanted to have it on a night I was actually going to be at her house during the day, so she could guide me! Okay, I can't lie, she did more than guide, but I figured if she actually had a hand in making it, it would have the "love" taste hers always does. This is by far the simplest coleslaw recipe I've ever made, and is our family's absolutely favorite. Adam was so surprised when he sat down to supper and it was there ready for the eating. And I was right, having mom help me made it taste even better! So if there is something your mama makes you love, try your hand at it....w/ her help of course :)
