I actually cooked something. I made a huge pot of chickin n'dumplins. It should last a couple of days. Then I'll make a huge pot of spaghetti. I hate cooking and when I do it, I like to fix enough to last.

Eliz..how do you do your ribs? I am a pretty good cook, but for some reason, I can't do ribs with a damn!

Well, we went out and bought a grill today...finally! So for dinner we had grilled chicken which was marinated in a honey dijon sauce, grilled corn on the cob, and baked potatoes. Yummy! I love cooking out and the grill we bought is great! Can't wait to use it every day throughout the summer.

Annie, first I make a rub out of brown sugar, salt, pepper, paprika and garlic powder (mostly brown sugar -- just a little garlic powder -- just mix all of the ingredients together until the rub tastes right to you). Add a little cayenne if you like your ribs spicy. Then I cut the ribs into small sections (3-4 bones per section). Rub the seasonings onto the meaty side of the rib. Then, brown each section in a skillet about 4 minutes on each side. Place all of the rib sections into a deep pan (I just use a 9x13 cake pan for baby back ribs). Bake at 350 degrees for an hour and a half. After an hour and a half, baste the ribs with your favorite barbecue sauce and bake for another hour. The meat practically falls off the bone! Delicious! (The ribs kind of absorb the sauce that last hour so if you like saucy ribs, add more when you take them out of the oven.)

I know! I know!! it's a cut of meat, a flank steak!!! What is London broil? Is it a special cut of beef or a specific way of preparing it? London broil was originally a recipe for a beef flank steak, which was marinated, broiled or grilled, and carved across the grain, into thin slices. Despite its name, the recipe is said to be American in origin. Today the term applies not only to flank steak but also to other boneless cuts of beef such as top sirloin, top round, and chuck shoulder steaks. These are also meant to be prepared in the same manner and served thinly sliced across the grain.
