The Best Parts of Barbecuing

 This is the season for barbecuing. Yet it's not just eating delicious grilled meats and veggies. There's also the fun part of creating sides, the relaxing time spent flipping burgers and dogs or the fun afters of making desserts.

Here's the question of the week - what's your favorite parts? Do you enjoy creating a zingy marinade? Grilling steaks and wings to perfection? what about getting dessert read? Cutting watermelon into decoratative pieces or just sticking marshmallows or a stick to skewer for gooey gooey roasting.My favorite part is creating the fun sides. That's how I came up with my Oriental Cole Slaw. 

Here.'s the recipe

One bag shredded red cabbage slaw.

1/2 cup olive oil 

2-3 tablespoons soy sauce

Stir in soy sauce and then pour over the cabbage. Toss until the cabbage shreds are well coated. Add chopped scallions for color and more flavor. Chill for about one hour. before serving.
