Tubs Coal Miners Slaw is a classic American recipe with deep roots in the coal-mining communities of Appalachia, particularly in West Virginia, Virginia, and Kentucky. It is a hearty, flavorful dish that has been passed down for generations, enjoyed by coal miners and their families. The slaw is typically made with a combination of finely shredded cabbage, carrots, onions, and green peppers, tossed in a tangy dressing that includes vinegar, sugar, mayonnaise, celery seeds, and sometimes mustard. Over the years, culinary enthusiasts have created numerous variations of this iconic dish, each with its unique twist on the traditional recipe.

COAL MINERS PASTIES
Coal miners in the Midwest would take these for their lunch. They keep warm rather long wrapped in a towel. Some housewives would stuff one end with a savory filling, and the other with a sweet one. That way you could have your dessert with your dinner! For a true coal miner meal experience, be sure to roughly chop the potatoes.

Steps:
- Place the flour, 2 teaspoons of salt, and the lard in a bowl. Quickly rub the lard into the flour with your fingertips until it resembles small peas. Pour in the ice water, and form into a ball. Add more water if it feels too dry. Divide the dough into 6 balls, and wrap in plastic. Chill one hour.
- In a bowl, combine the meat, turnips, potatoes, onions, remaining 1 tablespoon salt, and pepper.
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (205 degrees C).
- Roll out one of the balls on a floured surface to about 1/4 inch thick. Using a cake pan, trace a 9 inch circle in the dough; cut out the circle. Place about 1 1/2 cups of the meat mixture into the middle of the circle. Fold the edges of the circle up to meet along the top of the meat filling, and crimp the dough along the top to seal. Repeat until all dough is used up. With a spatula, transfer the pasties to an ungreased sheet.
- Bake the pasties for 45 minutes, or until golden. Serve hot or at room temperature.

12-SECOND COLESLAW
When people think of coleslaw, they think of that bowl of soggy, shredded cabbage sitting at the end of the picnic table. This is a completely different approach; a fresh-shredded cabbage prepared as a fast (12 seconds adding ingredients, 30 seconds to mix), crisp, low-cal, low-carb, slightly spicy, and delicious side dish that you should be eating as part of your regular veggie side-dish rotation. Serve immediately after mixing.
