Ribs & potatoes

Today was a beautiful day it was close to 60 and not a cloud in the sky. John and I decided to take advantage and take a long walk. We started out towards Davis square and continued down towards Harvard. We walked around looking in shoppes enjoying the nice weather. On our way thorough we came across this amazing gourmet chocolate shop, of course we had to go in. They had really expensive chocolate and a mini bar where you could purchase different flavored coffees, coco and baked goods. One of the baked goods were mini meringue cookies in a bunch of flavors. Since they were only a $1 each I decided on 4 for dessert this evening. Pumpkin, lavender, pistachio, and raspberry.

On the walk back home we were debating what to do for dinner when John said he was in the mood for ribs. So we stopped at the butcher in Davis and pick some up. John said he would cook the ribs if I did the sides and of course I agreed. He again used a spice rub we got for Christmas.

And for the sides I decided to oven roast the red potatoes we received in our CSA basket along with some carrots.The potatoes had a little evoo, salt and pepper and the carrots were steamed then browned in a sauce pan and with a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese.

Everything turned out great, the ribs were cooked perfectly the only negative was the rub was a little to salty.

The potatoes were the perfect amount of brownness on the outside and the carrots still had a bit of a crunch I hate when there cooked until mushy.

And of course for dessert we each had a bite of the meringue cookies. They were to die for!

Were off to start a watching new show Breaking Bad.
