What's for Dinner Tonight?

Summer cook-out time is the right time to share this one. These ribs are the best that I have ever had! The recipe is from the Woman's Day Kitchen. Hope you all find time to try this one. Enjoy!
 
BBQ Ribs with Mopping Sauce

2 rack(s) (about 6 lb) pork spare ribs, halved crosswise       
 
Dry Rub
  • 1/2 cup(s) barbecue seasoning (like McCormick Grill Mates)
  • 2 tablespoon(s) brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoon(s) ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon(s) ground cinnamon
Mopping Sauce
  • 1 1/3 cup(s) barbecue sauce
  • 1/3 cup(s) apricot all-fruit spread ( I have used Orange Marmalade which worked great)       
  • 1/4 cup(s) honey
  • 2 tablespoon(s) grated onion
  • 1 tablespoon(s) lower-sodium soy sauce
  • 2 teaspoon(s) yellow mustard        
  • Freshly ground black pepper

  • Heat oven to 350°F. Line a broiler-pan bottom with foil.
  • Whisk Dry Rub ingredients in a small bowl; rub on both sides of ribs. Transfer to prepared broiler-pan rack; cover tightly with heavy-duty foil. Roast ribs 1 1/2 hours until meat between ribs is fork-tender. (If making ahead, let cool to room temperature, then transfer ribs to a 2-gallon zip top bag, seal and refrigerate up to 2 days.)
  • Combine ingredients in a 2-qt saucepan; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer 10 minutes, until the sauce has reduced slightly and thickened; cool. (If making ahead, transfer to a bowl, cover and refrigerate up to 3 days.)
  • If chilled, bring ribs and sauce to room temperature. Heat outdoor grill to medium-high heat. Grill ribs, mopping them with sauce and turning until slightly charred and glazed, 10 to 12 minutes.
  • Transfer ribs to a cutting board. Cut into single or double rib portions.

    What Others Cannot See

    Image
    Early on one would never know, that memories are fading away. A tiny slip up here and there, normal forgetfulness they say. Time goes by with subtle changes, friends and family do not seem aware. If they only see them now and then, what is missing is not clear. As time passes the ones at home, will notice what others do not. They see more things forgotten, bringing sadness and concern. Many may notice a repeated story, from memories of long ago. Not aware that these old tales, are the ones that remain crystal clear. In time the recent memories, become more elusive as days pass by. Questions that are asked and answered, will be asked again and again. What we can see in our loved one, is what others cannot see. New memories will not remain with them, so, each day will bring something new.

    Palma Nova and Palma de Mallorca, Spain

    As we were planning our trip to Italy, he mentioned that he would like to go to Spain for our next big vacation. When he was in the Navy, he had spent time there and always wanted to go back. Considering the cost of airline tickets, I suggested we incorporate it into this trip and spend the last week there. After all, three weeks away makes for an amazing trip. After landing in Palma, de Mallorca, we picked up our rental vehicle to make the short trip to Palma Nova. We took some time to settle in and relax before heading out for dinner. We took a short walk to check out the area and find somewhere to eat. We were fortunate that there was an Indian restaurant close by and the food was delicious. An enjoyable meal, listening to the sound of many languages blending together, and taking in the reality that we were on an island in Spain. With only two nights in Palma Nova, we decided the next day to drive around the island and take in the beauty of the landscape. We headed to Soller which i

    Underneath It All We Are the Same

    Image
    Seven years ago, I wrote this blog with great hopes that society would take steps forward in the years to come, recognizing that we are all in this together and unity is the only way to a better world. Unfortunately, as witnessed by world events over the last several years, that is not the case. Sadly, things are worse so once again I will share this with a hopeful heart that three years from now our world will look a little brighter. "If you prick us, do we not bleed? if you tickle us, do we not laugh? If you poison us, do we not die?" ~ William Shakespeare - The Merchant of Venice Strip away race, color, religion, politics, gender, etc., and underneath it all we are the same. We are human beings. We have the same needs, wants and desires. We want a good life for our families; a good community to live in; friends and neighbors we can trust. We want to be treated with dignity and respect, and to feel comfortable voicing an opinion, without the threat of being attacked by some
