So I now have a new favorite show (and yes I'm aware that the show has been on for years), Biggest Loser. Clif loves the show but I have never sat down and watched a full season. However, I decided after watching the first episode of this season that I would continue to watch the show. Our good friend Chris Wallace came over for din din tonight at the Rateike household...love that kid! He reminds me of Clif, a polite Marine with manners. We had baby back BBQ ribs, jalapeno corn bread, home made mashed taters, and a refreshing salad with home made croutons. It was quite the feast. Ladies, you know how you feel like an animal chowing down trying to eat something like ribs? If I could use a fork eating those things, I totally would just to save myself the humiliation. Clif and I wanted to venture outside of grilled chicken and all the other things he has mastered on the grill. So, we decided to try some baby back ribs, and let me tell ya, Clif has now mastered the those babies! They were fantastic! Is your mouth watering yet? If not, maybe this will do it for you. I made a sauce for the ribs that consisted of the following:
1 Tbsp Brown Sugar
1 Tbsp Paprika
2 Tsp Garlic Powder
1-1/2 Tsp Ground Black Pepper
1 Cup Sweet Baby Ray's Brown Sugar
This sauce was total success to all three of our bellies. I highly recommend the recipe next time you try ribs.
For those of you reading my posts, I would like some communication to know that you are actually reading my posts and I'm not just writing out to thin air. So I have decided to post a question of the day for every day that I make a post and if I can remember to. So today's question, please comment on my post with your newest favorite recipe.
I can honestly say that today was a pretty boring day, the first one I've had since I've been here. I still enjoyed it though. I think I was able to enjoy the day because I feel like I'm on a permanent vacation for 6 months since we're so close to the beach. I had a Doctors appointment this morning and that was pretty much it. haha. I was however able to get some things checked off my "to-do" list of things to do around the house, so all in all it was a productive day. I have no clue what I will consume my 24 hour day with tomorrow. Clif has to be at work at 7:30 and then he has ODO pm duty, meaning he might not get back home till 1:00 am. Ay yi yi! Good thing they cut us a grand deal with direct TV and we can get movies! Looks like it will be a movie night for me (for the pm portion of the day tomorrow anyways).
NEWS ALERT:
