I enjoy trying cole slaw recipes and I enjoyed eating this one. I do like just a little sweetness in mine so I added about a tbls. of sugar. I also added a little celery, just cause I had some.I enjoyed the caraway seeds and celery seeds. Thanks Mimi, for a nice salad!

Very busy nanny/au pair, working for a very rich and snooty family, in a very large home, in a very snooty village. Just in case my employer comes here, please don't ask where I am from, or I'll be sacked like the last nanny was. ;-) I take care of 4 gorgeous, and darling kids. 3 girls and a boy. The boy is the youngest (and my favorite). They are great children, very, very active. (Hyper) I love to cook. I guess that's a given, why else would I be here. Part of my job is also to prepare meals for the family. The more they like my food, the longer I get to stay. (just a little joke) On my day off, I usually go out to the cinema or some dance clubs with the other au pairs in this town. That's about it I think.
