I’m back. No more stories. Just recipes. Other than one. Looks like for now, my husband did indeed miss a bullet. Now Covid-19. I left my job of 11 1/2 years and accepted a position 10 minutes from my house that also allows me to work from home. Now, I have time to cook more, yay! But still, despite NO MORE COMMUTE, time is precious. So no more long ‘stories’ about the recipes I post. Maybe a sentence or two only. And then, just the simplest, most delicious recipes I happen to find from throughout this beautiful world of ours. We are all in this together. Stay safe everyone! ——-

Affagato. Two ingredients. So amazingly delicious.

Had this dessert at a restaurant we used to frequent that is sadly, now closed due to the pandemic. Two ingredients. Espresso and Vanilla Ice Cream. Bam! But it even has an Italian name. Affogato.That’s it. Enjoy!

My Mom who was a school teacher used to make these pork ribs all the time. Delicious!

Simle Asian Pork Ribs

  • 2 Baby Back Ribs (about 4 lbs, ask the butcher to trim off the bottom membrane)

 

In a mixing bowl, mix together the following ingredients:

 

  • 1 Cup Tomato Ketchup
  • 1/3 Cup Hoisin Sauce
  • 2 Tablespoons Soy Sauce or Tamari
  • 2 Tablespoons Dry Sherry
  • 2 Tablespoons Brown Sugar
  • 1 Clove MInced Garlic
  • 1/2 Teaspoon Salt and 1/2 Teaspoon Pepper

 

Preheat oven to 300 degrees F. Separate the sauce into two bowls. Brush or slather 1/2 the sauce from one bowl all over the ribs. Place ribs on a baking rack inside a baking sheet or dish. Bake the ribs for 2 3/4 hours or 3 hours basting with the sauce every 30 minutes. Remove and let sit for 10 minutes before slicing into single rib servings. Serve with the reserved sauce. You can also wrap each rib individually in a foil “envelope” to reheat later as an appetizer. Fun!
