I was proctoring final exams this week and brought along John Thorne's
Serious Pig for entertainment. (Watching students grimace over exam
questions they should know gets old fast.) I found a recipe for black
beans and rice with rum and decided to try it last night. Bland, bland,
bland. No scotch bonnet peppers or anything. I had better luck with
the coleslaw that I improvised with half a head of cabbage, red and
yellow bell peppers, scallions, cilantro, and a little avocado. This
was dressed with a mixture of white wine vinegar, olive oil, cumin, and
(secret ingredient) Maggi sweet chile sauce.

Allow me to be the first to tell you that avocado has no business in
cole slaw. None. Now, back to our regularly scheduled program.

Agreed! However, grated raw beets are excellent in red cabbage slaw.

Not in my grater/shredder, you don't. Besides, the colors probably
wouldn't complement each other.

It's kind of your imagination. If I agree with him, I'm not terribly
likely to say, "Me, too." And in this case, Sheldon was baiting me with
his remark about beets because he knows of my emphatic and high dislike
of them. Boiled dirt. And I hate to disappoint, so I took the bait.
:-) I wuz teasing him.
