Mmmmmmm...Time to make French dip with that tender beef & au jus.Put on a pot roast to simmer. Then took DD 2 out to drive. She finally wants to learn how.
Came home to nice tender pot roast. Made mashed with butter and sour cream, pot jus for gravy (didn't thicken it) and steamed fresh baby spinach.
Today is two year old grandson Evan's birthday, so DD#1 made Parmesan chicken & sweet taters. DD#2 made the dinosaur cake using German Chocolate recipe. Great food and great birthday party. Evan's favorite gifts were a guitar that Mommy gave him early this morning, then it was the Radio Flyer wheel barrow from Grandma & Grandpa that was just his size.

I had an enormous BLT on toasted potato bread with cream of mushroom soup.
With all this snow that's coming, I need to buff up for shoveling.

. Welcome back Sass and Homecook!
I'd like to watch football at your house Barb. All those look fantastic!!!!!
JAR SAUCE??????? OH MY GOD!!!!!!!!!! SACRILEDGE. I'll pray for you Jimmy. I'll even send you a sauce recipe so you can make homemade Sunday Gravy. Here's my supper. I hope it eases the pain. the sauce was just made Saturday morning, and simmered until the spoon stood up on its own. You poor, poor man. Oh, the horror of store sauce.

I know Joe! She was in a hurry, and she just bought a whole "S" Load of jar sauce for GD for her appartment. Marinara is the only sauce GD will eat.
So Poor Tina figured, quick quick quick, and that was the end of a good supper.
Tina knows how to make a sauce, but she grabbed a jar from the Demon "Saucifer"...the brother of "Lucifer!" hahahahahahaha

That 2/3 loaf and the butter, would disappear 1....2....3... If I got my hands on it!
Bread came out nice!.....
that's scaled down from White Bread Plus of Joy of Cooking - to one egg....
I was attracted to the recipe decades back as it was "adapted" to a hand mixer. I've since got the KA lift bowl but,,, that works, too!
it also is flexible in that you can start it in a cold oven or hot/preheated. something that has made a difference in my 'scheduling' over the years.
if I haven't 'done bread' in a while, with two of us the first loaf general evaporates 'same day' (g)

Looks great homecook. The dessert looks good also!I made breaded pork cutlets, mashed potatoes, mushroom gravy and peas. I also made a dessert to take to work. I'll edit in a few to add pics....
Bear with me as my space bar is broke on my laptop so I'm typing on my Kindle and will add pics from the laptop.
I had the same thing with the A not typing on my Laptop, and Tina looked closely (she could see) and said.."Look, There's food stuck under the key!" LOL
I never knew the key popped off, and she cleaned out the crumbs that were stuck underneath, and it all works now! see.. AaAaAaAaAaa!!

They look good c-man....but if the flavor is right, then they can be good. A little dry, but good sometimes. I made them once as bbq ribs, and they sufficed. Had leftovers; so I ground them up and added to beef to make chili. It was good!
but.... the flavor wasn't ribbie - more like a pork roast in (the homemade) sauce....
typically I oven bake-in-foil racks as a whole, then finish either on the grill or drowned in bbq sauce in the oven at about 10,000'F.
the flavor of meat between real rib bones is different I suppose....

Yeah, you're right.
They are great to throw in a tomato sauce or to make country style ribs with cabbage or sauerkraut. Tina braises them with onions for a few hours in an electric skillet.
She just keeps adding water to prevent burning. We eat them like that with applesauce.
Oh!...and the last 45 minutes, she trows in some potato wedges too.

Right now...there is a pork shoulder in the oven since 9 AM cooking slow and low at 275º.
Tina did that roast! She just threw in a onion quartered, and some celery!
I made a nice pot of tomato sauce, and meatballs. Used the last of the tomatoes I froze, and some paste, and a large can of crushed tomatoes.
Darn....it smells great in here.
The kids are coming over to eat after work.

We devoured the pork shoulder.
DD came over and I was pulling pork and eating applesauce...then DD said, OOoooo
this smells like the pigs on my farm. That was it....I put the fork down and couldn't eat any more. Now I have Farm Breath and Farm burps.
Tina was skimpy with the salt. Pork shoulder needs a lot of salt when it bakes.
Now I will eat some spaghetti and a meatball or two.
