    My cole slaw is similar to your recipe except I also add lime juice. Never measure it, just use a capful of the bottled stuff. Makes it really great.

    I’m making the chicken for dinner tonight for our 39th anniversary! Along it’s a bean salad and the frozen fruit cocktail! It’s hot here today, 104, so we’re eating easy.
