Updated! Goal 101-- 6/12 COOK A NEW DISH EVERY MONTH

The coleslaw turned out delicious! It is sweet and crisp with a very nice ginger flavor (fresh grated from a frozen nugget). 

The tacos are layered from bottom to top: savory sweet ground beef and chorizo mix, fresh cilantro, Asian coleslaw. That chorizo was spicy, goodness!  My tongue is still tingly and Ian says he didn't even add any spicy spices.  

Tomorrow night is Asparagus Risotto and endives. Or is it Zuchinni Risotto and endives? Risotto and endives either way.  
 

The orginal post continues below:

I love the color of this cabbage! It's been salted and is currently draining under the weight of a small plate and two bags of flour. Evidently if you salt the cabbage, it'll help it keep its crispiness once it's been slawed. For full details you ought to go to the source Joy of Cooking page 223.

I'm off to make the vinegar mixture, grate a carrot, mix it all together and let it fridgerate until dinner (tacos and coleslaw). I even cleaned up the whole kitchen so Ian would have a nice clean workspace when he got home to cook the ground beef.

I've never made coleslaw before, I guess this is the first official June entry for my Goal 101-- Cook a new dish every month.
