A new recipe and an interesting article

Recently I was at a friend's house for dinner.  She made a  Spanish Slaw recipe similar to this one and  I really enjoyed it.  Apparently it is always popular when she makes it for friends.  She actually just buys the packages of pre-shredded cabbage instead of shredding it herself.

Ingredients

  • 3 cups shredded cabbage
  • 1/4 cup chopped green pepper
  • 1/3 cup vinegar
  • 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 4 teaspoons sugar
  • 1 tablespoon diced pimientos
  • 1 teaspoon grated onion
  • 1 teaspoon celery salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground mustard
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper

Directions

  1. In a bowl, combine cabbage and green pepper. In a jar with tight-fitting lid, combine remaining ingredients; shake well. Pour over cabbage mixture just before serving; toss to coat. Serve with a slotted spoon.


I found this news article interesting:

Online gamers crack AIDS enzyme puzzle
- in summary,  it seems scientists have been trying to decode this enzyme for a decade and the gamers were able to do it in 3 weeks.  People have the spatial reasoning skills that computers lack.  Games bring the strengths of humans and computers together.  This new partnership could lead to new medical advances.

I wonder how peanuts would taste in the slaw. We had a gentleman friend who made his slaw which was similar and he added peanuts. Very good taste combo. Tangy and salty.
