Just curious, what are your Labor Day Menu's like?
Ours... Deb's Baked Beans, hot dogs (beef, in casings), burgers, KFC cole slaw (I love cole slaw on a good hot dog and KFC does make a really good cole slaw!), Deb's macaroni salad & pies for dessert... along with some MaDouDou, beer and other libations... having a few friends over, around a backyard fire, and eating outside on the picnic tables... weekend, so far, promises to be cooler and low humidity...
[color:"blue"]Deb's Macaroni Salad[/color] (excellent and refreshing): one box Ronzoni Smart Taste elbows (High Fiber!) chopped red, yellow & green peppers chopped onions chopped broccoli flowerettes mayo & sour cream (about 1/2 & 1/2) S&P

looks like we'll be having about the same amount of people... Your menu is a lot more extensive than ours!
Our plans have changed a bit though, as we're doing it with next door neighbors around their pool... inviting a few of our friends & the people in our neighborhood... which is not that much as there are only five homes in our neighborhood... and two families will be away on vacation...

Tucker, the marinade sounds great... but one question, do you think the alcohol in the marinade makes the pork drier? Other than beer & wine, I have found that marinading meat in 80 proof alcohol tends to draw out the internal fat making it dry... I hate dry meat... <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/hammer.gif" alt="" />

We have not found the meat to be dry. We have used many marinades for pork. I came across this one this summer because I had gotten some dark rum in St Kitts. It instantly became a family favorite

I usually do a dry rub for these overnight... but yours sounds good!

GaKaye said:Carol_Hill said: Sorry, the idea of chili and cole slaw on top of a steak doesn't even sound good to me.. Carol, I have to agree with you. To me, anything but salt and pepper on a good steak is too much. I also agree... I wouldn't do that to a burger, let alone a steak...

Connie--sorry, the whole thing just doesn't sound good, chili, cole slaw, cheese, on a steak?? <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Sick.gif" alt="" /> Peppers and onions, and cheese, now that sounds OK!

It does sound weird, but I like all the components, so I would try it, once anyways.
Our get-together is at my son's house, annual birthday party for my grandpuppy. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Grin.gif" alt="" /> He does the best pulled pork, the BEST! I am going to try the Vidalia onion salad dressing in the coleslaw ~ thanks Contessa!

I posted this a couple of months ago...... <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Cheers.gif" alt="" />
Peachy White Wine Sangria
Ingredients: 1 Bottle of white wine (Riesling, Chablis, Gewurztraminer, Rioja, Pinot Gris, Sauvignon Blanc) 1/2 cup Peach Schnapps 2 sliced peaches (I use frozen peach slices) 1 sliced orange 1/2 mango peeled and sliced (I use the jarred, sometimes) 1/2 liter of ginger ale ( I use diet )
Preparation: Pour wine and Schnapps in the pitcher and add sliced peach, orange, and mango. Chill mixture for at least one hour. Add ginger ale or club soda just before serving. If you'd like to serve your Sangria right away, use chilled white wine and ginger ale and serve over lots of ice. I also use Prosecco. Add other fruit, too ie: strawberries/white grapes...it's all good! It's a very refreshing drink.

contessa said: I saw a program on Food Network once where they said to mix ground meat with chopped ice. Apparantly, that's what makes them juicy!... I always put a small pat of butter between two small patties...
ice, that is interesting. i've heard of the butter in the middle, but haven't tried it yet, although with butter could it really taste bad? <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Wink.gif" alt="" /> i mince onion and mix it with the meat; makes for a very juicy burger.

made a 1/2 recipe or this Pork Marinade (only 4 pork chops). Very good. I thickened the left over marinade and added some chicken broth and a little more orange juice; cooked it down and served it over chops. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Thumbsup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Groovin.gif" alt="" />

Peach Sangria - yum, still have some leftovers, it gets even better the next day. Come on over, Mike!
2 ripe peaches, blanched and peeled, cut in small chunks 1/2 cup vanilla vodka (or plain with a tad of vanilla added) 1/2 cup peach schnapps 1 can Goya peach nectar 2 bottles white wine (any white wine you like)
Marinate the peaches in the booze overnight or at the last minute, in bottom of a nice clear pitcher. Add white wine and peach nectar. Serve over ice if you like it really cold. Then, if you're outdoors, and with casual type friends, when your glass is almost empty, you can have fun spitting out the ice cubes to get to the peach chunks. Kinda like a grown-up version of seeing who can spit watermelon seeds the farthest.
Enjoy!! <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Joy.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Joy.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Cheers.gif" alt="" />
