Ribs...Ribs...Ribs

So I haven't talked about food in a LONG while...so I figured I would give you an fun story from last weekend. Normally, we are at the parentals...but lately we have been at Rands and The Beau's house for weekend meals since The Mother has had surgery ( AGAIN). Last weekend was a great meal.... it was RIBS!!! I guess she had these awesome ribs at her in laws for X-mas and she wanted to have them again.

So on New year's day she got up and put this rub on the meat and puts them in the oven to cook for a couple of hours. They look awesome when they come out of the oven..we tried a little before they "rested" and would need to go on the grill for about 10 minutes. The smell was unbelievable and I just wanted to eat them...right then and there but I waited. Finally after some grilling time and the table was set....we got to really eat them.

Now how do I start to describe how good these ribs were.........first the smell was like one that you could have gotten when you are walking into a smoke shack that has had meat in it all day....then they just look mouth watering!!! i put a couple on my plate and dig in. I take the first bite and my taste bubs come to attention... the sauce and rub mix in my mouth to make a party. I got for my 2nd bite and all the meat falls off the bone....which to me is wonderful. I pulled out my fork and knife....inhaled the rest on my plate. As I looked around the table everyone was quite and eating like there was no tomorrow. It was definitely an A +++++++ meal.

New Year.... New beginning

Alright....I know...I haven't been on here for a long time....but hte fall just seemed to get away from me. It was filled with sickness, vacation and holidays. So now that it is the new year...here is a quick update:

Sept. flew by with the Jewish holidays and ended with a couple of trips to the ER...guess my migraines are back and I needed my gall bladder out.
Oct. began with getting ready for the whole D*MN family vacation, which went surprisingly well. Back to work for a couple of days then on the operating table to have that gall bladder removed.
Nov. was quite.... but eventful...Splitter( aka the good child) finally found a serious boyfriend...who just might be "the one"....also Thanksgiving went by without too many issues.
Dec was filled with 5 work from home days, 4 huge snow storms, 3 Hanukkah parties, 2 days of X-mas and 1 new snow blower.

I don't know what 2010 will bring.... but I'm looking forward to seeing what will happen.
