Baby Back Ribs

During one of my trips to Lowe's earlier this spring, I fell for the Mango Lollipop Gerber Daisies. So far, they are doing well even though keeping them watered during the recent heat wave (98 degrees) has been challenging.

I decided to try the receipe for "Sticky Balsamic Ribs" in the July '09 edition of Gourmet magazine.

Following the receipe gave me an opportunity to harvest some rosemary from the plant that Carolyn gave me several years ago.

After lots of chopping, the mixture of garlic, rosemary, salt, balsalmic vinegar and cheyenne pepper was ready. The ribs were coated, covered with foil and placed in the fridge to marinate for 8 hours.

Then they were roasted for 1 3/4 hours in the oven and finished off on the grill.

We enjoyed them with grilled corn on the cob.


The receipe is a keeper.

Vacation on the Chesapeake

Karen finally convinced me to create a blog so that I can share pieces of my life with family and friends...hopefully, things won't get too mundane along with way but I'm not making any promises.

A fantastic view from a swing at a marina along the western shore of the Chesapeake.
