As I mentioned in my last post, we have been eating some killer ribs ever since we came across that great biker cookbook. We made these ribs again on Friday night but I noticed at the bottom with the serving suggestions that they recommended coleslaw on your menu. I guess I could have tried to buy some at the store…but homemade anything is always better. So scoured allrecipes until I found this one: Sweet Restaurant Slaw. I made a few modifications based on other reviews and arrived at the following recipe…
| Servings |

- 16 ounces shredded cabbage
- a handful of shredded carrots approx. 2-3 ounces
- 2-3 tablespoons diced onion
- 2/3 cup creamy salad dressing such as Miracle Whip™
- 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1/2 cup white sugar only use 1/4if you are use Miracle Whip or another sweet salad dressing
- 1 tablespoon white vinegar
- 1/4 teaspoon celery salt
- 3-4 sprigs of fresh Thyme
- 6-8 teaspoon olive oil

- Combine the cabbage, carrots and onion in a large bowl.
- Whisk together the salad dressing, vegetable oil, sugar, vinegar, and celery salt in a medium bowl; blend thoroughly. Pour dressing mixture over coleslaw mix and toss to coat.
- Chill at least 2 hours before serving; chilling overnight is even better.
- Wash thyme and chop.
- Wash potatoes and cut into wedges.
- Mix both with oil and chili.
- Lay out potato wedges on a baking tray lined with baking paper or aluminum foil and then salt wedges.
- Bake for about 50 minutes at 350°F (175°C), until they begin to brown a little.
In addition to the super yummy coleslaw, I also tried a new, very simple recipe for fries which I am pretty sure I’ll be using a lot in the future. I found it in a magazine that I’ve never seen before here in Germany called “Lecker” (which means “tasty” or “delicious” in English). It’s basically just a bunch of recipes and a few decorating ideas thrown in as well. I have tried a few recipes from it already and although I wasn’t too impressed with the first one (it was a bit bland and will be spiced up next time around which is when I will finally share it with you!), I thought this one was really quite good! They actually put cherry tomatoes in for the last 5 minutes of baking but with all the other stuff, we figured the tomatoes wouldn’t really blend too well.
