Secret Family Recipe: Dole bagged cole slaw lightly dressed with
Jimmy's Cole Slaw Dressing (refrigerated; local brand, I think). I
added some sliced red onion to the cabbage/carrot blend. Thanks, Wayne.

Looking at the picture of the pork roast itself, I've got to bestow on you
the compliment that I usually get from the ladies: "That's one fine-looking
piece of meat." ;-)

What I liked was that yours didn't look overdressed. I don't like soupy
coleslaw.

When I use a jarred dressing it's usually Marzetti's, born of the long
defunct Marzetti's Restaurant in Columbus, OH.

More often than not I throw it together as I go along and it's kind of a
strange process. The Dole bagged cole slaw is always reliable for a base.
I toss some in a flat-bottomed bowl and add some chopped green onion. I
have a big salt shaker filled with granulated sugar. I sprinkle sugar and
salt alternately over the slaw, mixing with a fork and tasting for a salt
sweet balance, adjusting if necessary. I let the mixture sit until the
cabbage begins to give us some moisture, stirring periodically. Then
dribble a few drops of canola or light olive oil over the mix, stirring to
mix well, then let it set 5-10 minutes. Last, I whisk together some mayo
and cider vinegar about 2:1. I only use a couple of tablespoons of the
mayo mixture in the slaw, just until well moistened.

I've tried making a dressing by combining all of the above ingredients and
mixing into the cabbage. It never turns out right, so I stay with my
sprinkle and stir method.

Hey--I'm not from the mid-west, and I use potato water to make gravy...

Got the idea from my brother (who's not from the mid-west either).

Just because it isn't being used for gravy doesn't mean it's going to waste.
One of my basic bread recipes uses potato water. For that matter, the
_Vegetarian Epicure_ series relies on a basic potato peel stock in most of
its soups. Potato water is also useful if you're trying to culture a
sourdough starter, but since I don't like sourdough, I leave that to others.

Sure. And I'll bet your average bear tosses it unless gravy's planned
and its one's habit to use it in the gravy making. My sister (a fine
cook) does not use it -- she thinks it adds too much starch to the
gravy. Whatever.

I know -- and am guilty of not keeping it around for such a purpose.
Unless I'm making gravy, I drain the potatoes over the sink drain.

Oh, I agree. I am from the mid-West, and I do use potato water for gravy.
It's just that I've spent all of my adult life being defensive about it and
converting a few. Potato water was always used to deglaze the pans from all
the big roasts and birds. Until I moved west, I assumed everyone did it
that way.

I thought that everybody uses potato water for thickening soups and
gravies. I guess it's the potato starch that does it.

Potato and any number of other veggie waters (not
a strong veg though). But I don't keep them on
hand and only use them at the same meal I'm
cooking then for. And I'm not midwestern or
whatever the OP was who thought only people in her
area did this?

That's the reason my mom did - nothing wasted. I do it when I have
potato water & want gravy....potato water is good for making yeast
rolls, too.

Central Market here had pork shoulder roast for the ridiculously low
price of $1.29 a pound. Some of them were pre-coated with Italian
spices. I bought one of the latter and made the Italian pot roast from
the vintage '98 Joy of Cooking (alias Irma, Marion, Ethan, and a cast of
thousands). It wasn't bad, but SO found that drizzling a little bit of
balsamic vinegar over each serving spiked it up. He was right.
