Charlie suggested dinner again. This time he asked for ribs in the smoker. I left the ribs in about an hour longer than I planned to and they were falling off the bone when I cut them. A while back, @Ann_T mentioned using rye flour for sourdough starter so I tried it. I put a cup of rye and cup of water in a stoneware jar and let it set about 4 days before it started to bubble. When it did I fed it again and the next day it was a very active starter; so I made my usual sourdough french bread with it and it turned out very well. The potato salad and coleslaw came from a deli. The butter is Irish Whiskey butter that I forgot to put on the table for St. Patrick's.
