    Wow...nobody's been doing anything fun, huh? :D

    Okay, how about this:

    Independence Day

    Angus ribeye steak (grilled to perfection, if I do say so myself!)
    fresh local corn on the cob
    tomatoes and cucumbers in a raspberry vinaigrette
    rolls
    Red Hook Long Hammer IPA

    A pipeful of Frog Morton on the Bayou and some Sandeman Port for after ::

    Eastern North Carolina style pork BBQ! With homemade sauce of course. Haven't eaten yet though - it's only 7PM now and it's only been cooking since 5:45AM. Also, homemade cole slaw. Maybe some baked beans and fries too, though with the Q and slaw, nothing else really matters. :drool

    Anyone want a recipe for KFC cole slaw? It's actually the only kind I like and I have a recipe that would make the Colonel call his lawyers!!



    Oh and Blair, no mustard in the Q...it just ain't natural! :D

    Actually, Michael, I like it the way you describe. I'm not a big fan of the mustard-based sauces that they have down state.

    KFC Cole Slaw

    Here ya go, Rick.....

    1/2 Cup mayo (I use regular, not lo-fat)
    1/3 Cup granulated sugar
    1/4 Cup milk
    1/4 Cup buttermilk
    2 ½ Tablespoon fresh lemon juice
    1 ½ Tablespoon white vinegar
    1/2 teaspoon salt
    1/8 teaspoon pepper
    8 Cups finely chopped cabbage (about 1 head)
    1/4 Cup shredded carrot (1 medium carrot)
    2 Tablespoons minced onion

    Chop cabbage and carrots very finely (about the size of rice). I just run 'em through a food processor.
    Combine everything except cabbage, carrots and onions in a large bowl and beat til smooth
    Add the cabbage, carrots and onions and mix well
    Cover and refrigerate a couple of hours

    Serves 10-12. (I usually cut the recipe in half as this makes a LOT of cole slaw! ...1/16 T of pepper?! :confused: )

    You
    will be amazed at how faithful this is to the original - brought some to a fellow aficionado in the office one day and she accused me of buying it from the Colonel! One last thing...tried this with Miracle Whip once - it is not the same!!!

    Enjoy!

    Huge pot of Gravy with meatballs, I am hitting the seal a meal tonight before I takeoff on my birthday trip... This should hold me over a couple months.. but even better than adding the au jus (which I did) would be to brown pork chops and throw in as it slow cooks...

    For my birthday this morning, I have broken open a long stored box of 1987 Dunhill Aged Condados -- 1987 Harvest Crop. that I bought in the mid-90s. Man, is this good! I probably won't be storing these any longer and instead will smoke through the box in the next few weeks...:drool

    I've decided to continue breaking into my stash of stored cigars. Tonight, a Cuban Montecristo torpedo, and some Anderson Valley IPA.

    Thanks. Still getting used to this camera (Power Shot SD 450). I thought the picture was kind of blurry in the foreground, but something about it appealed to me...
