Cucumber Lime Shaven Slaw Recipe
Delicious served with pulled pork, this Cucumber Lime Shaven Slaw Recipe is perfect for any summer party, picnic, or potluck! A party hit!
We recently had a couple of new friends over, having barely met them. I served Crock Pot Pork Roast, and this Cucumber Lime Shaven Slaw Recipe.
Easy menu. Great conversation, and new friends!
The anxiety of having new people over can be real. But if we learn to care less about our performance, and more about the people (getting to know them, what makes them tick, what their passions are, more about them … ) we truly can find joy in the process!
You know that saying, that anxiety has eyes all over its head. It’s swamping, overwhelming, and it steals from what should be. So many people are scared in life right now, and our fears stop us from so many blessings.
Hope looks to the future. Resentment looks back.
When anxiety rears her ugly head, hope exits every time!!
One small way to make a change is to start with a simple meal.
Ask a person or 2 to come and join you.
Don’t worry about things being perfect. And if you do happen to worry about your house, invite them to your front yard, or your back yard! Bring dinner outside!
I recently read The Tourquoise Table by Kristin Schell.
Kristin started a movement in her front yard. It makes me think of how much we all need friends and conversation. This book is about slowing down, encouraging easy ways to connect in our neighborhoods and communities, but there’s more.
The Tourquoise Table is about simple hospitality, and why we should practice it.
I wrote a similar book back in 2009, so this book is an updated version, in an even busier, chaotic world!
Even in our small, unorganized, imperfect spaces, we can share our lives.

What is an Armenian cucumber? I have seen this listed for a couple of recipes in magazines but have not seen any at our grocery stores. Is it a small cuke or like an English cuke? This slaw looks delicious!
oops! yes carrot is listed. Sorry about that!
Looks delicious! Does it have carrot in it? It’s not in the list of ingredients.
I look forward to trying this soon.
Thanks
This looks like a really nice summer salad. Perhaps you could elaborate on how one shaves a cabbage? Really, I have no idea.

That sounds like an awesome book. I’ll have to look into it. And yummy salad. I love a good slaw recipe.
