Family time

During the last visit from the kids they did the cooking while they were here. They made lasagna one day, bread pudding for breakfast, and these great beef short ribs and all the side dishes to go with the meat.

​2 tbsp Coarse Black Pepper (freshly ground is best)
​2 tbsp Kosher Salt
​1 tbsp Garlic Powder
​1 tbsp Onion Powder
​1 tsp Smoked Paprika
​½ tsp Ground Cumin

They coated them in spices and browned them on top of the stove before adding some BBQ sauce and putting them in the slow cooker for several hours

The ribs were brushed with more BBQ sauce and finished off under the broiler. They were fork tender and tasted quite amazing!

They were served with homemade cornbread and delicious baked beans, and coleslaw made with cabbage.

And birthday cake from the "Nothing Bundt Cakes" bakery for dessert!

Two flavors of cake. Oreos Cookies and Cream and Chocolate Chocolate Chip.

It was a great celebration and a fun time with the family together.

The ribs were great. They brought the cake from one of their favorite bakeries in their neighborhood in the city. I'm guessing it cost more than I would have been willing to pay for a cake, but it was very good! City prices always shock me!

Wow those ribs look amazing. Doing ribs right is worth the work 🙂 Sorry about your Packers. I'm guessing those are Packer's colors on the birthday cake.

Life long Packers owners/family! With all the injuries they had, our expectations were not too high this season.

The ribs were awesome!

It looks very appetizing!
You described the process of cooking the ribs perfectly and in detail.
My daughter, son-in-law and grandchildren are coming from Moscow on Saturday. I invited them to attend a master class on cooking delicious food. The daughter said she was tired of cooking at home. My son-in-law suggests that I cook meat on the grill. That would be cool, but... Frosts are forecast on Friday, showing a temperature of -33 degrees, then warming to -25 degrees. Who will be standing at the barbecue in the courtyard outdoors?

I will try to describe this process. :)

Your temperatures are even colder than ours are this week. It is much too cold to be drilling Outdoors. Have a wonderful time with your family!
