Monday's Menu

Happy President's Day!!!

Hope you're enjoying a day off (like Hubby and the kids). If not, hope you're having a good day anyway.

I don't have a recipe for you yet but I am trying one out today -- this one.

We discovered a little meat market down the corner from us recently. I went in and found several things. Among them was some reduced spare ribs (99 cents a pound) and they are cooking away in the crock pot right now.

If the smell is any indication, they are going to be wonderful. I didn't use beer as called for in the recipe though (mainly because I don't have any). I have heard that beer can be really good though as a marinade for meats. Any alcohol should cook right out so flavoring should be what's left. I have yet to try it since I don't ever buy it and I haven't a clue as to what to get.

But several others didn't have it either and commented that they had used various other liquids so I think it's alright. I'll let you know how they turn out.

Happy National Holiday.
