i played catch up today..

Well girls... i invited my mom and her husband over for dinner along w/my friend becky and my aunte janet who I live with and i made a huge meal. I figured i needed to play catch up since it's been crazy lately so yesterday becky and I went to the Westside Market in cleveland.. it is a really cool market down town w/amazing produce and meats all kinds of stuff. So last night my friends becky and jen and I had gyros and a wonderful salad all fresh from the market. Today I made the tofu curry...kudos stacy.. we all loved it. I served it over brown rice. I cut my tofu in to small bit size pieces and added onion and satued in coconut oil since i didn't have any peanut oil. I took your suggestion and doubled my sauce cause of the rice. Yummy Yummy Yummy... can't wait to have left overs for lunch tomorrow. Eva I thought your reciepe was the cola ribs so I got beef ribs yesterday as my mom and her husband can't eat pork. I misread the reciepe the second time around and didn't catch the 8-9 hrs in the crock. So since i started them after church today and mom was comming at 2..haha i boiled the beef ribs for about 1 hr. put my sauce together.. I altered it a bit.. i used a whole bottle of jacke daniels honey hickory bbq sauce 1/2 c brn sugar some coarse kosher salt, a few drops of liquid smoke a can of reg coke and a can of cherry coke.. i liked the little bit of added cherry.. i thinkened my sauce a little on the stovetop in a sauce pan w/your typical flour & milk thickening agent. Once my ribs had boiled for an hr i put them in a baking dish and covered completely w/the bbq sauce mix and baked on 350 for another 1hr this the sauce was nice and thick and gooey. Wow.. they were to die for. My aunte has a rib cookout for the family every year in august and today i just got ellected to make the bbq sauce... lol. So we'll makeing some of that ahead of time and putting it in jars for the party. With dinner I also got some home made roasted red pepper pasta from the market from a company called ohio city pasta and tossed with it some fresh herbs of sweet basil, lime basil, thyme, coarse kosher salt a lil garlic powder and some wonderful basil/garlic olive oil I got from this great oil and vinager place here in ohio called.. "the olive tap". I did some asparagus w/home made holindaise sauce and mom and bob brought over fresh homemade bread still piping hot and we dipped it in a mix of porchini mushroom oil & fig balsmic vinager w/fresh herbs. We toped it all off with a nice glass of wine. A wonderful sunday meal that wore me out.. LOL Thanks for the wonderful recipes girls.
