nice looking ribs....last night was Gourmet Night, hotdogs and Kraft you know what for tonight I started a nice pork and sauerkraut stew tracey

Do the shoulders ahead so you know they are ready and have fun smoking/grilling the rest with your guests ...you really dont want to over do the rib roast. You could also braise the belly maybe with some Asian spices and then finish on the grill I am doing something similar in a few weeks and probabley the only thing coming "right off the grill" will be chickens tracey

Just top them with mass quantities of sauteed onions and mushrooms, and crispy bacon....how bad could that be I wont get into the canned green beans that were the only veg one Christmas dinner...of course purchased at a Kosher market that morning tracey

Back in the '80s we had one customer that wanted their burger nuked on 5 and then on 3 and no he didnt think it was funny when we nuked it on 8 hey 5 and 3 make 8 right?...also make a burger into a hockey puck tracey

If you do a veggie soup or chile you will get both markets at once...then there are the chile cheeseburgers MMMmmm T

Last night I yelled up to my husband that I want to go to Cincinatti... Uh Why.... A supermarket....(Jungle Jims)... But you wont have anywhere to cook what we buy Not a word about the fact that Cincinatti is 550 miles away, he is OK tracey

I'm sure this is not the only new entry to the Food On A Stick category. But, a 1/3 lb. slice of bacon? Wonder if it's deep-fried? I'll have to check this one out, and see what kind of dipping sauces they offer. ← YOU GO GIRL

tomatoes are fruit but peaches, pears, grapes and mandarins go well in salads so might be good with tomatoes tracey

Tomato and cucumber salad with a touch of pesto, red onion, lots of salt & pepper, balsamic and red wine vin and olive oil if you have stale bread toast it and throw it right in...if you have fresh bread dunk and scoop into the salad....if you have a steak, serve it on the side tracey

Last night was grilled "country style" ribs and Yukon Gold potatoes served with a salad of most of what was left from Saturdays trip to the farmers market. Spinach blanched chilled green beans 2 chunks of tomato from the fridge cucumber red onion and basil with a balsamic dressing I found it strange that my husband started listing things that would have added to his salad experience...like hard boiled agg or bacon or mushrooms Sounds like a "proper" spinach salad to me... tracey

Other than the vast quantities of food at a proper brunch the best thing about them is that they are usually social occasions or you are vacation!! either way its fun tracey

The first time I had Korean food the meat was cut like that but presented folded back up against the bone. I was so bummed that my dinner was going to take so much longer to cook than everyone elses till the waitress lifted the meat up and cut pieces off with some shears nicely done T

We hit a local place last night that has all you can eat Snow crab...they also have a carving station and hot and cold buffet lines, but whatever Crab Legs...steamy and full ..... they put a kids playbucket in the middle of the table and give you piles of napkins, shell crackers, and cocktail forks When you have sucked in all the seafood and butter you can its time to waddle past the salad bar to the dessert table....last night I got the first cut of a very moist tasty carrot cake ( that counts as a vegetable right) and some pecan pie to slide into any open spaces Crab legs - butter - maybe some lemon...good to go tracey

Sorry perfume doesnt even have a place on my server let alone my food, but I might be a little militant about perfume Tracey
