    Title: Butternut Squash Coleslaw
    Place the first 8 ingredients in a large bowl. Whisk
    together remaining ingredients. Pour over slaw; toss to
    coat. Refrigerate, covered, 1 hour. Stir before serving.

    So was showing this to Andrea and she asked me "Is the squash
    raw?" and I don't know the answer... I assume so?

    Any idea Dave? I've saved the recipe anyway.

    It's uncooked but shredded like the cabbage. I'm not a big fan of vinegar
    based coleslaw gressings. But I'd try it at least once as written with
    the exception of swapping the maple (ugh) syrup for dark Karo or honey.

    This is my go-to coleslaw recipe. Not noted in the destructions but a
    fact of life .... I do a few grinds of blavk pepper over my serving.

    Title: Lee's Famous Coleslaw Copycat
    Categories: Greens, Vegetables, Salads
    Yield: 8 Servings

    1 md Head cabbage; shredded
    1/4 c Sugar; or less, to taste
    1 lg Carrot
    1 md Onion
    Mayonnaise; as needed
    1/3 c Oil
    1/2 ts Salt

    Chop all vegetables fine. Add sugar, salt and oil. Add
    mayo to the consistency you like.

    A post online from someone who used to work for Lee's
    says they made this 50 lbs at a time, and noted that
    they use cottonseed oil rather than vegetable oil.

    UDD NOTE: Sometimes I add very finely diced green bell
    pepper. Both for the cruch and a bit of colour.

    I wouldn't waste maple syrup in this, too expensive. I would try with

    Well, real maple syrup is expensive. The factory sh...tuff is full of artificial/fake flavours, etc. I've had real mape syrup from real tree
    sap - we have a well known non-New England/Canada facility just north
    of me (Funk's Grove) and I've done the tour and tried the samples. Still
    no go. Bv)=

    Title: Chicken au Poivre
    Categories: Poultry, Vegetables, Citrus, Herbs
    Yield: 4 servings

    1 tb Whole black peppercorns
    2 tb Extra-virgin olive oil
    8 Boned, skinned chicken
    - thighs (2 pounds)
    Salt
    2 tb Unsalted butter
    2 tb Minced shallot
    1 c Chicken broth
    1/2 c Heavy cream
    3 Thyme sprigs
    1 tb Lemon juice
    1 tb Fine chopped parsley; more
    - for garnishing
    Crusty bread or egg noodles;
    - (opt) for serving

    Place peppercorns in a small resealable bag. Using a
    mallet or the bottom of a saucepan, gently crush the
    peppercorns until coarsely cracked. (Alternatively, you
    can use a mortar and pestle.) Set aside.

    In a 12" cast-iron or other heavy skillet, heat oil over
    medium. Season chicken with salt. In two batches, sear
    chicken until light golden all over, about 5 minutes per
    batch. Transfer to a plate. Pour off any remaining oil
    in the skillet.

    Add butter and shallot to the skillet and cook,
    stirring, until butter is melted and shallot is
    softened, 1 minute. Add broth, heavy cream, thyme sprigs
    and cracked peppercorns and mix well, stirring to lift
    up any browned bits on the bottom of the pan.

    Add chicken (and any accumulated juices), bring to a
    simmer and cook, turning and basting occasionally with
    the sauce, 6 to 8 minutes.

    Divide chicken among 4 serving plates and discard thyme.

    Add lemon juice to the skillet and stir until sauce is
    slightly thickened, about 2 minutes. Season with salt
    and stir in parsley.

    Spoon the sauce over the chicken and garnish with more
    parsley. Serve with crusty bread or egg noodles, if
    desired.

    Title: Acadian Peppered Shrimp

    1 Bay leaf; crumbled

    When melted, raise the heat, and add the remaining
    ingredients except the shrimp. Cook, stirring often,
    until browned to a rich mahogany color, about 10 mins.

    Cook until the shrimp have turned a rich deep pink,
    about 10 minutes.

    Serve the shrimp in their shells, peeling them at the
    table.

    I eat pancakes or waffles even less than two times a year but its got to
    bereal maple syrup on them. I was brought up on NYState maple but a few
    years ago when we started doing the mission trips to VT, I bought it
    there. Other maple goodies are available up there, including maple
    candy, maple crunch sprinkles (great on ice cream) and maple creemees, a
    soft ice cream with maple syrup swirled thru the base.

    I'll add pepper in moderate amounts, usually black or chipotle.

    I love maple candy. :) I do like maple... my wallet just seems to

    Splurge, it's not worth spending money on the imitation stuff. Besides,
    the real stuff (especially if you go for darker grades) is more
    concentrated maple goodness so you don't need to use quite as much to
    get all the good flavor. (G)

    was using the latter when we first got married; he quickly converted

    Yes, and you need to have a taste now and again. Helps you remember what
    the real stuff tastes like and you may eventually decide that it's not
    worth spending money on the imitation. (G)
