Yesterday the mail lady delivered a box to my house..........one of my readers, Jean, had made me a beautiful really cool bag with my blog.......cookingforbob.blogspot.com.......embroidered on it!! I just love it and will take it everywhere.......thanks so much. Inside was an old recipe book for pies...........published in 1952........so much fun to read.....NO mixes of any kind. Everything was made from scratch. I will try some.
So, the barbecued spareribs............turned out to be a little bit Bob and a little bit Lynne. AND soooooo good........falling off the bone and perfect spiced sauce. Could not have been better. Be sure to try that recipe.........I guarantee it!
A side dish we love with barbecue is Three Bean Salad. Have been making this for 40 years. Easy to make the night before........then half of your meal is ready. One can of garbanzo beans drained, 1 can kidney beans drained, and one can of string beans drained..........Now, to be a little more up-to-date.......you could use fresh green beans just cooked enough to still be crisp.
Dump all of that in a bowl that you have a cover for.........then add 1/2 cup chopped green onions and 1/2 cup chopped green pepper. In a little bowl........mix 3/4 cup sugar, 1/2 cup vinegar, 1/2 cup salad oil and salt and pepper........stir well, pour over beans........mix well.......put in frig over night. I turn the bowl upside down and shake to evenly distribute the dressing several times. This is a good summer dish to just keep in the frig all the time.........lasts forever. And remember Dr Oz says..........we should eat a serving of beans a day!
