dinner

i made a fabulous dinner the other night. i'm talking lip smacking good, kinda dinner!! i was at the meat counter buying chicken and noticed ribs on sale. i originally planned on putting them in the crock pot since that is the only way i know how to cook them but i decided to try something new and bake them in the oven. i'm always willing to try something new at least once, you never know... you might find something amazing!!

i googled some recipes and then came up with this:
equal parts sugar and salt plus pepper or paprika to taste
pat mixture on both sides of meat
place in 9x13 pan
add water 1/2 way up the ribs
place in 250 degree oven for 1 hour
turn over and cook for an additional 1 hour.
drain liquid and slather with bbq sauce
increase heat to 400 degrees and bake for an additional 30 minutes.
let me just tell you... they become finger licking good!!

the potatoes were wonderful too. super simple but super yummy! i just cut cleaned and chopped the potatoes, added oil, fresh rosemary, fresh thyme and lots and lots of garlic. i baked it in my broiler and kept a close eye on it so they wouldn't burn. i turned them frequently and they were perfect. thanks pammy for the great potato recipe!

i must admit, there wasn't much talking during dinner that night. we were focused on eating =)
