Gravy's Cooking Thread

How far ahead can I make it? Also, I don't have a mandolin so there's no way I'm going to julienne them. Think I can shave the carrots, or should I just chop them?

It's good for a few days, and the flavours blend nicely. I'd make it a day ahead if you wanted to. And shaved carrots would be fine.

I'd say you'll easily feed 15 with that. No one takes a huge portion of coleslaw.

Going over to the Sis-in-law's place tonight and Imma take coleslaw. Going to make one-half standard creamy, and one half Dirkified with some spicy mustard, golden raisins, and chopped pecans.

I know it's not coleslaw, but for some reason your post reminded me of this video. There's always someone out there (McCheese) who will take a huge portion of something (or add condensed milk to a savory dish...wtf).

I feel coleslaw is one of those things that can be made so many different ways, and nearly all of them taste good. Just from the few cole slaw recipes in here, all of it sounds good. Then again, I love cabbage so maybe that has something to do with it.

When I saw the title, I was thinking Sara Moulton, and I kinda like her from her PBS shows. That ain't Sara Moulton.

Who's up for trying these?

Those look delicious! Would baking them work instead of grilling them? Also, what's the sauce in the last picture? I imagine that's the best part.

It's Sriracha Mayo Dipping Sauce. Baking would work fine. Here's the actual recipe:

Smoked Bacon Wrapped Onion Rings - Spicy Sriracha Onion Rings

If only there were a cutting utensil on the table when you ate those things...

Well, I don't typically serve finger food exclusively, but it might be a fun idea. If I do, I'll make sure not to serve those awesome looking bacon rings.

Use your fucking teeth to 'cut' the onion when you bite it. This isn't rocket science.

lirkingdirk, i am trying those onion rings this weekend.

Please report back. With photos.

Took the whole family and picked 25 pounds of strawberries this morning. Already cleaned and in the freezer, so strawberry quota for winter is filled, which means everything we get now during strawberry season goes in my mouth. Ah, the taste of a fresh strawberry, just picked and warm from the sun. There is not much better than that!

Making panna cotta with fresh strawberries for tonight.
