Oh, I hate the song and now it's going to be stuck in my head all day! Thank you Phil! (although admittedly the foods not bad)
Short ribs are the bomb. They are best (I think) in a red wine braise. These were beef spare ribs. Which would you like a recipe for, short ribs or spare ribs? I have both.
OK "Oven baked Barbequed Ribs"source: cooks.com
1 small onion (I used a large shallot) chopped
1 t. garlic powder
1/2 t. salt
1 T. olive oil
1 t. red wine vinegar (I used more--I like tangy ribs)
1/3 c. ketchup
1 t. chili powder
3 T. dry mustard (this sounds excessive--it is NOT)
2 to 3 pounds slab ribs (beef or pork, bone-in)
In a saucepan, combine all ingredients except ribs.
Bring sauce to boil, reduce to simmer and cook on low heat until thickened, allow to cool. (Mustard powder will aid in thickening sauce.)
Place ribs in large flat pan (I used a broiler pan, to catch grease underneath.)
Season ribs with salt and pepper and a little garlic powder on both sides.
Roast ribs at 350 degrees in oven for 45 minutes to an hour. Drain any accumulated grease.
Brush sauce on to ribs. Bake sauce-covered ribs approximately 45 minutes or until tender, turning ribs and basting occasionally as needed.
Let slabs of ribs rest 5-10 minutes, cut apart and serve.
Yes they were Lee! I have had trouble in the past getting spare ribs to the right tenderness. Keep the heat low and allow a couple hours to cook. I actually did these at 300 degrees as I have a convection oven.
Eww.There is a commercial I've seen a couple of times that reminds me of you, LG. Listen to the first thing the woman says.
I have some cherry tomatoes left and lots of basil and mint. Mr Em and I are using this easter weekend to clear out the last of the carrots and feed the soil so we can plant some new seeds before it gets too cold :)
We went to a local Thai restaurant, where a lot of the food is closer to Chinese than Thai. I've noticed that Utah-based Thai and Chinese restaurants tend to over-sweeten in general. Odd, but I just figure it's for the local (uneducated) palate.
Grilled chix, baked beans, broccoli salad, dessert was "eggs" (cool whip with a peach half laying on top to look like a sunny-side up egg) and chocolate chip and walnut cookies.
