Recipe makes delicious coleslaw
Dear Heloise: I remember a delicious coleslaw recipe in your column a few months back, and I was wondering if you could please reprint it for me? Ter, Gloucester, Mass. This recipe goes way back to the 1960s, when my mother published it in Hawaii, and I can remember her making it all the time. You'll need: 1 head of cabbage (about 2 pounds), shredded 1/4 cup vegetable oil 2 tablespoons vinegar 1/2 teaspoon prepared mustard 1/4 teaspoon celery salt 2 tablespoons mayonnaise Salt and pepper to taste Dash of paprika Mix oil with vinegar in a bowl. Add prepared mustard, celery salt, mayonnaise, salt, pepper and paprika. Mix well. Pour mixture over shredded cabbage, toss and refrigerate. For the best taste, make this a day ahead so the flavors have a chance to blend. You can find this recipe, other tasty recipes and an alphabetized list of vinegar uses for cooking and cleaning in my six-page Fantabulous Vinegar pamphlet, which you can have by sending $4 and a long, self-addressed, stamped (58 cents) envelope to: Heloise/Vinegar, P.O.
Forget PEDs, here's what MLB Is about
What life is going to be like after Barry Bonds for the Giants, who have finally unloaded that 10,000-pound gorilla from their back and his nearly $20 million from their payroll, but are far from close to finding happiness because of a farm system gone fallow. General manager Billy Beane's next move in his tear-down-rebuild mode in Oakland, having already shipped off Dan Haren for six players from Arizona, including five of the Diamondbacks' top 12 prospects, and center fielder Mark Kotsay for a package of Atlanta prospects. Does Houston Street go next? What about Joe Blanton? Will Eric Chavez be allowed to hang around? Curt Schilling's plans now that doctors have told him he needs what would most likely be season-ending surgery. He has balked at that idea, saying he wants to keep on pitching, whether the Boston Red Sox like it or not.

Hansen: Snowblower catastrophes also accumulate
Chuck and John Agans were wondering about that again Wednesday. It's still a mystery.
The Agans brothers sell and service Toro snowblowers at Clive Power Equipment. They've had a busy winter.
The fun began the day before Thanksgiving and hasn't stopped. Iowans have seen it all. Snow, sleet, ice, freezing rain. Four or five times we've seen it.
The 8 inches of snow that fell in the metro area Tuesday and Wednesday brought the total to a way-above-average 37 inches for the year. And it isn't even Valentine's Day. .
