Not only is Aug. 10 National Lazy Day, but it is also National S'mores Day. Well, Congress didn't pass either of these days but they are recognized throughout. So let's have the easiest, laziest meals I can come up with and add a lazy, easy S'mores recipe to boot. Here is meal with all the trimmings that will take no time at all to whip up.

Asian style slaw
6 c. coleslaw blend
1/2 can (6 oz.) mandarin orange segments, drained
1/4 c. Catalina dressing
3 T. salad dressing or mayonnaise
1 T. soy sauce
1/3 c. honey-roasted peanuts

I am stopped so many times and asked about my father (the second Yankee Chef, Jack Bailey) and my grandfather (the first Yankee Chef, Samuel Bailey), and folks always ask me, "Are you as good a cook as your Dad? Or grandfather? My answer is, and always will be, emphatically no! Although I have great confidence in my skills, it takes much more to be a great chef. Attitude, decisiveness, compassion, understanding and a graceful disposition are but a few attributes that separates the good and great chefs. I like to think I do possess those qualities, but not nearly to the extent that 50-60 years of sweating in the kitchen brought to my father and grandfather.

The second most often asked question is what were their favorite main courses, not only to eat but to prepare. Dad's favorite was au poivre, especially pork chops au poivre. Grampy's favorite food was golden onion and Fontina stuffed chicken. So I give you both.
