My husband said that I don't know how to make the sides that come with the fried chicken. I told him that I am working on it but Coleslaw is not a problem. He wondered if I had the ingredients for Coleslaw. I told him that I have the ingredients and then some. He said that no one can make like the one that comes with the Fried chicken, but he was willing to try my weird method. Vegetable oil being the only fat, versus cream and other fats in the other Coleslaw did not sound like Coleslaw to him. When he saw me chopping the green cabbage very fine, he asked me if I can chop the purple one ( meaning the Red Cabbage) a little thicker because it is hard to pick up very finely chopped Coleslaw with the fork. 

He actually liked it.
