Re: OT - HALP!!! Damsel in distress!

If you're needing to hold a dish at a cold temp, a reliable support is to
freeze something serious like your 9 x 13 plain old *** cake pan filled
with water. It will stay cold a long time and maintain your coleslaw very
nicely. Polly

This is quite good --


Oriental Coleslaw



1 pkg. shredded slaw or broccoli slaw

OR:

4-6 shredded broccoli stalks, 2 shredded carrots, & ½ c. shredded cabbaged



½ cup sliced green onion

2 pkgs. noodles- oriental flavor (break noodles while in pkg.)

1 can sliced water chestnuts

1 cup slivered almonds



Dressing:

½ cup oil

½ cup sugar

1/3 cup vinegar

2 ramen noodle seasoning (included in noodles from above)

1 T. soy sauce



Mix dressing and pour over noodles and vegetables. Let chill 2 hours or
overnight.





It doesn't have a mayo based dressing -- so it is a little easier to
"hold" during the day. Very tasty!

Ladies, I'm in a pickle.

I've got a family reunion to go to tomorrow, and I need to bring some
sort of side dish to share with everyone. There won't be many of us this
year, only about 30 or so at the maximum. Anyone have a tried-and-true
recipe that'll wow them? It has to be simple enough that I can put it
together before one p.m. and it can't need to be kept at a particular
temperature (no outlets at the picnic area).

Save me, ladies and gents!

Anastasia

(who wishes she were in charge of the dessert like last year; she's
better at that part)
