Holiday eating

Put all this stuff on the back burner and get to the good stuff.

What you cooking Monday? Am I going to be the only one at the grill and smoker?

.Don't call the fire department that smoke is coming from my patio.

Saw a recipe for ribs the other day and going to try. Cover them with yellow mustard (not a typo), then coat them with your rub and put in smoker. When they get close to done brush on your favorite sauce.

Going to have some beans in the smoker also. On the grill I'll do some taters and onions.

You folks have a safe and fun weekend, and forget about diet, sugar, bp, clogged veins and what ever else, just eat and enjoy family.

Can you share it or is it a family secret?

I got mine online and it is missing something and I don't know what. Just not like the kind from long ago.

Well, there’s tons of coleslaw recipes, but here’s hoping this one at least narrows your search!

Mix 1 cup mayo, 3 TBS apple cider vinegar, 3 TBS sugar, 3/4 tsp. Salt, 3/4 tsp. Pepper, 2 TBS finely minced onion, 3/4 tsp celery seed and a “pinch and sprinkle” of dry mustard in a bowl. Set aside.

Finely slice 1 head green cabbage.

Grate or finely slice 2 carrots.

Add cabbage and carrots to mix. Cover and chill at least 3 hours before serving.

This might be close to what you are looking for. I should add that my friend’s grandma’s recipe is almost identical, but she uses poppy seed instead of celery seed, and a tad more vinegar.

And agreed - let’s get to the good stuff - The smell of freshly cut grass and barbecues on the grill, and the sound of children playing and dogs barking!

Thanks, I haven't been doing the onion and dry mustard. Will put it next mixing.

The smell of cut grass, I miss it so much. You just don't get it with all the lawn services. I don't know if it is that their mowers put out more exhaust than what ours small ones did. And it may be that I'm driving by the yard instead of walking.

Have a great holiday, thanks to the weather man, we will be spending ours inside.
