st. louis ribs 1 rack, soak, sugar, salt, water to cover, sugar 1 cup, paprika 4 tbsp, black pepper 1 tsp, lawrys seasoned salt 3 tsp, molasses powder 2 tbsp ( i found powdered molasses on line, waiting for it to arrive) see ingredients for substitution., baste, ketchup 1/2 cup, brown sugar 1/4 cup, chili sauce 1/4 cup found near the ketchup in the store ., apple cider 1/4 cup, liquid smoke 1/4 cup, lemon juice 3 tsp, molasses 1/4 cup. substitute for powder. watch your end cooking time as the sugar will want to burn easily. but it gives the nice char effect and taste., pic of the slab is the prime cut of ribs. i personally think they are better than baby back ribs. st. louis have way more meat. i stand to be corrected but st. louis ribs are the section of ribs you see in the pics. you pay more but you don tsp get the brisket or top part of the whole rib cage. there is a flap of meat on the back side to cut off. the ribs you see ready to be marinated are like the fillet mignon of the rib. geez these taste so good i can tsp hardly wait to cook two sides today for the 4th. marinating since last night. i am killing myself writing this.

potato starch, water, sugar, unsweetened cocoa powder, salt, mashed ripe banana, unsweetened applesauce, matzo cake meal (if you don tsp have , put some matzo meal in a blender to make it a bit more fine than), raisins (make sure they are plump, not dry) or 1/4 cup currants (make sure they are plump, not dry)

risotto with sausage and cranberry beans, make risotto , you absolutely must use a specific type of rice called arborio rice (carnaroli and vialone nano are also used, some say superior, but are more difficult to find). these types of rice release starch when stirred in a liquid; it is this process which makes risotto, otherwise you just have a starchy mess of mush. these types of rice are identified by their fat round grains and pearly appearance. they can be used to make other sorts of rice dishes, such as pilaf, but other types of rice cannot be used for risotto. arborio is no longer that much of a specialty product; it can be found in most large, well-stocked grocery stores in the italian section. or sometimes, misguidedly, in the asian section., okay , so now we have the rice. you will also need some good, low-salt stock or broth - it should be low-salt not for health reasons, but because a good deal of it will evaporate, leaving its salt behind, and i like to have more control over the salt in a dish. it can be homemade, but i m not going to be a snob about it because, in truth, we go through gallons of store-bought stock in this household and i don tsp see that changing anytime soon. furthermore, risotto is actually a dish which can be whipped up out of thin air when it seems as though you have nothing to eat, as long as you have butter, rice, stock, maybe a few herbs, and some leftover parmesan. i like the kind of stock purchased in tetrapak cartons, because they are resealable and can be put in the fridge and used as needed. if you really want to use homemade but you don tsp have time to make stock or don tsp like the aroma of roasting bones in your house (i don tsp blame you), you can buy really great stock at north market poultry and game - it is expensive, but can be diluted with a 2- or 3-to-1 ratio of water to stock, so it stretches. my general guideline is to plan on 1/4 cup dry rice per person, and about 4 cups of stock to 1 cup of rice. of course, this isn tsp exact and will vary depending on your elevation and the phases of the moon, but it s a good place to start. i usually just use 4 cups of stock and then dilute with water or wine (or sometimes beer, if that s all i have) if i feel i m going to run out., well, we have rice and stock covered, now we just need our setup: place the stock in a saucepan on your rear burner, bring to a simmer, and leave it there with a 6-8 oz ladle in, and place a large, wide saute pan (must be really large, plan that your rice will at least quadruple in size) or dutch oven on the burner in front. get out your favorite wooden spoon and flex your stirring arm., nice thing about using sausage is it s so full of flavor you can leave out the usual onion/garlic/shallot/celery nonsense if you re tired and don tsp feel like chopping. furthermore, sausage goes from the freezer to the pan without suffering too much. okay, let s go, risotto with sausage and cranberry beans - serves 4, links italian sausage , or 1 lb bulk (or hot, or a combination - definitely with some fennel), casings removed, cooked cranberry beans or 1 can white beans, drained, arborio rice, beef , chicken or vegetable stock, butter, freshly, finely grated parmesan cheese , plus more for garnish, an oz) flat-leaf parsley, chopped finely, lemon juice , or juice from 1/2 lemon, salt and black pepper to taste, red pepper flakes to taste, optional, good balsamic vinegar , optional

garlic bread, this goes great with any italian dish , and is simple to make., garlic powder, oregano, basil, dired minced garlic, kosher salt, parmesean cheese, butter, softened, italian bread, preheat oven to 375 degrees. combine spices in a mortar in pestle, and grind until the salt and minced garlic have been broken down and combined. if you don tsp have a mortar and pestle, simply put the spices in a zip loc freezer bag, and beat with the flat side of a meat tenderizer or rolling pin until crushed and combined. slice loaf in half length wise, and spread each half with a half stick of butter. divide the spice mixture in half, and spread each half evenly over each piece of bread. wrap each half in aluminum foil and bake for about 15 minutes. to crisp it up a bit, open the foil up and bake another 5 to 7 minutes.

baking chocolate (nestle or any brand of flavored morsels. it can be peanut butter, butterscotch, white chocolate, dar), eagle brand sweetened condensed milk, salt, vanilla extract (but you don tsp have to just use vanilla, add any flavor you like), extract (not just vanilla, such as, mint, peppermint, fruit flavors, almond, you can also use liquors such as), nuts, candy cane, pieces, marshmallow, candied fruit, toffee pieces, cookie , pieces, candy bar, pieces, fruit preserves (not jam or jellie)

beef and barley soup, wild rice, dried vegetable flakes, stalk finely diced celery or 3 pinches celery seeds, dried basil, dried oregano, dried marjoram, minced fresh parsley , if you have it (i don tsp care for dried parsley), tabasco sauce, cayenne pepper, salt, black pepper, bay leaves, garlic clove, pressed, worcestershire sauce

chicken breasts, pounded thin, prosciutto ham (or you can use any good baked ham), gruyere cheese, shredded (or you can use 4 slices of swiss), hickory bacon (don tsp use thick sliced, just regular), kosher salt, ground black pepper, olive oil, butter, diced onion (i prefer shallots, but a regular onion will work fine), chicken broth, white wine (if you don tsp want to use wine, just use all chicken stock or broth), heavy cream (or you can use evaporated milk or even light cream and even milk, i just like the consistency of hea), dijon mustard (i love to mix dijon and ground mustard but if you only have dijon, that if just fine, if you like mo), fresh parsley, kosher salt, ground black pepper

lasagna noodles, cooked (or use the kind you don tsp have to cook first, just add some extra water to the sauce), extra lean ground beef, browned and drained, prepared pasta sauce, stewed tomatoes, fat-free ricotta cheese, low-fat firm tofu, grated lowfat mozzarella cheese, grated parmesan cheese, minced garlic cloves, dried basil, dried oregano, black pepper

keep in mind that you can really vary the ingredients. the only thing to be cautious about is avoiding certain types of vegetables that tend to produce bitter-tasting stock., more onions , quartered. (don tsp bother taking off the skin.) i think yellow onions are nicest for stock, and it s best to have at least 1 yellow, but you can also use a combination including white and red. i use up to about 5 onions., carrots , including their tops (but not the carrot greens), chopped into a few pieces., more leeks (nice but not required), chopped and washed, garlic cloves, in their skin, crushed with the side of a knife blade, celery ribs, coarsely chopped, parsley sprigs, fresh thyme (or dry , if you don tsp have fresh), fresh sage leaves (or some dry, if you haven tsp got fresh), fresh marjoram or oregano sprigs, bay leaves, black peppercorns, sea salt to taste, cold, filtered water, potato, sliced, mushrooms, sliced, more beets (give excellent flavor and color to a vegetarian stock in recipes like french onion soup that often call for beef broth), meat-eaters variation : chicken carcass and other parts (i buy rotisserie chicken, use the meat, and then make stocks from the bones and carcass), avoid adding the following vegetables to stocks, as they tend to make them bitter, broccoli , cabbage, and other cruciferous vegetables, zucchini and other squash

cooked diced chicken, diced tomatoes and green chilies, tortillas, guacamole, chopped lettuce, refried beans, carton sour cream, ranch dressing mix, sliced green onions, shredded cheese, sliced black olives, when i don tsp have leftover chicken , i start with boneless, skinless breast tenderloins, chop into bite size pieces; saute in the skillet with cumin, seasoned salt, garlic pepper, and a little chili powder
