Using 1/4 large head of cabbage from the Farmer’s Market, I whipped up a small batch of my favorite coleslaw. The recipe I used is my old stand by. Now I just need to figure out what to do with the rest of the cabbage…

2 lbs pork sirloin steaks
Pork Rub (I used my Weber sample)
1/2-1 can beer
fileId:3096224744318343;size:inter;

Sprinkle rub over steaks til well covered. Cover and let marinate for 1-2 days in the fridge.

Preheat grill on medium low indirect heat.

Wrap steaks in heavy duty foil, leaving a small vent at the top of the packet. Pour in beer.fileId:3096224744318344;size:inter;

 

 

 

 

Grill steaks for 1 1/2 hours, or til tender and falling apart. Sprinkle with additional rub before serving.

My Favorite Coleslaw
1/4-1/2 head fresh cabbage, shredded
1 cup mayo
1 t apple cider vinegar
1 T celery seed
salt and pepper to taste
sugar to taste

Mix mayo through sugar. Toss with shredded cabbage. Cover and refrigerate for at least an hour.

The corn was steamed in a veggie steamer bag.

Delicious!fileId:3096224744318350;size:inter;

Yummy...

Stuffed cabbage rolls? Fried cabbage in a little bacon grease with a few bacon pieces mixed in.

I was thinking about stuffed cabbage, which Matt really likes.

w00t! I get a neon 10!
Lori Cee Aug 15, 2007, 8:57pm UTC
girl, please! there was chicken sliding all over my kitchen counter! he also showed him how to make rice and gravy. so, add that to the cookies the kids made and the frittata that i assisted him with yesterday for lunch, cam's on a roll!

momma cee was here for lunch yesterday. when you see her, ask her if she enjoyed it. she may have told us "yes" to be polite.

As long as it's grilled, I'll take some pork...even though I don't know what a mesquite even tastes like. I'll be more than happy to try your version of slaw and you know I'm down with the corn on the cob. What's for dessert???
☃ Shannon K. Wendt Aug 15, 2007, 9:18pm UTC
I just don't see Mama Cee being less than honest if she doesn't like something, though.

Mesquite is a smoky flavor, Rob. You would like it. And we are having leftover pie for dessert. Will be making something new very soon!

I wish i could have gotten that free sample from them, but they were out so i got the flashlight instead, lol

This dinner sounds great btw!

I got lucky and got in the promo early.

One of Tory's "homegirls" from way back cooked us fried chicken and one of the sides was cabbage. Now, I'm not entirely sure HOW she did it, but it was sort of the same premise as collard greens. HOLY SHEETBALLS was it ever so yummy. All I know is it was pan cooked with a bunch of seasonings and ... yeah that's all I know.

Now, if you've never wanted to take cooking advice from me, I understand. However, you MUST try this with your next batch of corn on the cob. First, fill up the sink with cold water and put the corn in it (DUH what the hell else would you fill up the sink for??). Leave it for about 20-30 minutes. Remove from the water and place on grill for the same amount of time you let it soak. I swear that it was the best tasting corn EVER.
☃ Shannon K. Wendt Aug 15, 2007, 10:29pm UTC
I don't know why you never ask what's in stuff that you like.

I did soak this stuff, but I had these steam bags to use. And I've never really liked my corn on the grill. Don't know why. I mean, I would still eat it right up...

Mmmmm. THis is not the sort of article to read and not have had supper yet. Now I am languishing.
☃ Shannon K. Wendt Aug 16, 2007, 8:53am UTC
One of these days, you have to come to Mich. for a visit and you will languish no more...

Sounds good Shannon. So how did you like that spice sample? Would you buy it again?
Angela P. Aug 16, 2007, 5:21pm UTC
Yummmm. . .
Robin G. Aug 16, 2007, 7:56pm UTC
Well I got her fried chicken recipe, so I couldn't be greedy. You know, the recipe that Tory had begged her for YEARS to get from her and she wouldn't give it to him. When we ate dinner I wouldn't stop talking about how good it was, so she gave me the recipe. He was mad at me and wouldn't talk to me for ... a ... uh... hmm... 30 seconds?
Risa G. Aug 16, 2007, 9:16pm UTC
Yummmm. I also made corn on the cob tonight. I forgot to take a picture of tonights dinner. I made Tandoori Chicken and basmati rice and served it with corn on the cob (or what I call COTC around here). Delicious. The Tandoor Chicken was great. I sprinkled it with some chopped habanero. That really did the job! Yummy. Shannon your meal sounds great too.

It sounds like such a wonderful meal!

Thanks, all!

Rob, get to posting it!

Jennae, I put dill in my potato salad, but have never tried it in coleslaw. Sounds good!

OK, you made me hungry, now I've got to go cook something. Probably won't be as good as what you made. Thanks for sharing.
☃ Shannon K. Wendt Aug 27, 2007, 10:10pm UTC
You never know til you try, Jerry!
Bridget Jean Aug 9, 2009, 5:14pm UTC
I needed a good coleslaw recipe! :)
Heather M. Nov 25, 2010, 1:55pm UTC
Good coleslaw recipe.
☃ Shannon K. Wendt Nov 26, 2010, 9:22am UTC
It's the best recipe I've found to date.

Thanks!
