Using what's given to me... (with update)

Daycare needed to close today, so....
I'm using the "extra" time given to me!

Laundry already underway
Breakfast complete
On the agenda: Morning Run quilt back prepping in order to quilt it today.

But first....off to look for the Darn Best BBQ Pork Ribs recipe. {{a request from hubby.}} Trust me, my arm doesn't need to be twisted very much! One good thing about raising those lil' porkers for a few months every year.....lots of YUMMIES in the chest freezer.

10:45 update

As I was about to start prepping the ribs for the evening meal, THIS stopped me in my tracks! Counter space was non-existent! So.....to work I went, not overly willingly, BUT....as the duty drew closer and closer to an end, it wasn't bad AND....

...at least now I had a working kitchen again. {{Note: *I* didn't necessarily make this 'before' mess, but didn't help with cleanup along the way either. I love DH and the last thing I want to do is complain when he makes dinner. Afterall it's a win-win for me when he does! He grew up in a family where his parents owned a restaurant and his mother was head cook. The man knows how to cook!!!! BUT....he's also a MESSSSSSSSSY cook! ;0) }}



Anyway...now that I had working space, I loaded up the ribs with a dry rub and wrapped 'em up in foil. They'll stay in the fridge until about noon, at which time I'm still contemplating if I want to cook them lo-n-slow in the oven at 200 uncovered for 1-2 hours and THEN cook them lo-n-slow for another hour wrapped up in foil with some homemade BBQ sauce to get them to the 'wet' texture I like.....OR to just wrap 'em up with the sauce right away and store them in the fridge to marinate for a few hours before cooking 'em for a handful of hours at low heat to the point where they fall off the bone.

??????

Hmmmm.....guess I'll know when noon time comes around.


Regarding DH's cooking
Case-n-Point

For lunch, I am reheating some bite-size fried chicken pieces that DH made the other night from our butchered chickens, in addition to some homemade rolls. Yup....he's a yummy cook! :0)

But...mmmmmmmmmm......7:05 pm update.....these suuuure tasted yummy tonight! In addition to fried potatoes, stuffing and DH's remaining homemade buns from the other night.
