"I really do love that hat...I'll wear it to all the finest occasions." -Cheshire Cat, Alice in Wonderland
The Cheshire Cat does have a chance to wear the Mad Hatter's top hat. He actually saves the Mad Hatter's life while wearing it. That hat had really been on an adventure. It had been re-trimmed with a luxurious satin ribbon and sported some very fine hat pins. When the Cheshire Cat had to give back the hat, his parting words were, "Goodbye, sweet hat."
I wonder what fine occasions the Cheshire Cat was talking about. He had a way of appearing and disappearing whenever he wanted to. Say he made an appearance at a summer picnic. And he was wearing the hat and eating coleslaw. Very colorful coleslaw...it was wonderland after all.
Colorful Coleslaw
1 small head green cabbage, shredded
1 small head purple cabbage, shredded
1 bunch rainbow carrots, grated
1/4 cup dried cranberries
1/4 cup chopped parsley
dressing; whisk together 1/2 cup mayonaise, 1/2 cup creme fraiche, zest and juice of 1 lemon, 2 tbs. apple cider vinegar, 1 tsp. fennel seeds, 1 tsp. sea salt
In a big mixing bowl, combine the shredded cabbage, carrots, cranberries and parsley. Pour over the dressing and toss together. Let marinate for at least an hour before serving, stirring a couple of times.
This coleslaw is colorful enough for a fine occasion, to be eaten outside with hats on.
