Ribs again.

 Charlie asked for more ribs since the other batch didn't last out the day.  This time I made the kind of coleslaw that I like. Chatlie made fun of it until he tasted it.  I didn't realize I never made when he was around.  When I was a little kid, someone brought this slaw with not mayonnaise to a church pot luck and I have always liked it better but thought everyone else didn't.

the recipes are the same as before except for the coleslaw.

TANGY COLESLAW VINIAGRETTE

1 head green cabbage

1 large green pepper

1 med. Spanish onion

1 C. cherry tomatoes

1 C. sugar

1 tsp. dry mustard

2 tsp. sugar

1 tsp. celery seed

1 T. salt

1 C. white vinegar

3/4 C. vegetable oil

1. Rinse cabbage, remove dark, tough outer leaves.  Cut cabbage in half, quarter, core and shred.  Should make 10 cups. 

2. Cut green pepper into rings, removing seeds and white membrane.  Slice onion, separate into rings. Cut cherry tomatoes in half lengthwise.  Cover and chill until ready to use. ( I am going to use uncut grape tomatoes and may toss in some Clementine sections too)

3. In a large bowl (I am going to be running out of large bowls) alternately layer half of the cabbage, 1/2 of the onions. 1/2 of the peppers, Repeat. sprinkle with 1 C. sugar

4. In a small saucepan, combine mustard with 2 tsp. sugar, the celery seed, salt and vinegar, and oil.  Mix well, bring to a rolling boil over high heat. Pour hot over vegetables in bowl.

5. Cover coleslaw tightly with plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator for 4 hours or longer so that the vegetable mixture can marinate.  Toss the vegetables several times so they all have a chance to absorb the dressing

6. To serve: Uncover the coleslaw and add the cherry tomatoe halves.  Toss very gently until vegetables are well coated with dressing.   Arrange in serving bowl or platter and serve immediately
