And that <I>is</I> an odd cole slaw recipe, but I figure if Diane's making it, she can do whatever she wants. Personally, I'd prefer something with a lot more kick, preferably from horseradish. Thanks, also, for the idea concerning sauce; I'll have to try that sometime. We generally have a variety of store-bought stuff on hand for dipping, but nothin' wrong with some homemade slop, too.<BR/><BR/>Ronnie, you think <I>you</I> grew up in a little nuclear family!

I look at my nieces & nephews at gatherings at the lake where they spend all summer (even the Ontario-based ones) and think to myself that they don't even realize how lucky they are and how rare this is today in our mobile society.<BR/><BR/>I also think about how much they'll look back and treasure the memories that they're not even aware that they're making.<BR/><BR/>ronnieronniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14044863062652781155noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7519804707579466907.post-5064005053203120972008-08-20T09:15:00.000-07:002008-08-20T09:15:00.000-07:00What a terrific gathering.

(If all you want to do is cook meat over a gas flame, why not do it inside on your stovetop?) Gas takes all the fun, skill, and cavemanishness out of the art of BBQing.<BR/><BR/>I'm sorry to inform you that your rub recipe is all wrong. There's no garlic! Garlic should comprise at least 33% of the recipe. I also note there's no mention of a sauce applied during the BBQing, which I respect. However, my careful campaign of experimentation has found that just about any vinegar (white, balsamic, apple) combined with just about any sugar (white, brown, honey) and spiced up a little makes a killer sauce. I cook mine at 250-275F for at least two hours. Tried smoking chips a few times but don't really care for them; no need to gild the lily.<BR/><BR/>That is the oddest cole slaw dressing recipe I've ever seen. As a connoisseur of the slaw, I'll have to try it someday.<BR/><BR/>Great pictures.

He really, honestly, does not care about food too much, which has, for ten years, made reward-based training hard. <BR/><BR/>What ultimately has worked, as I'm sure you can predict, is affection, just pure.
