Yoo hoo!
Looky here folks, Aunty Belle's openend her front porch. (Back Porch is for jawboning)
I'm inviting ya'll to sit for a spell and chew some fat. E'verbody is most welcome, you can even kick off your shoes and letcha' hair down. (But no spittin' or caterwallin'!)!) Dogs' welcome as long as they doan bite the children.
Course, I'm opinionated and I got aplenty to say, but right now, there's chores to do. So let me ask ya'll to entertain each other for a bit by playing a game of "getting to know you" by telling us all four things:
What book do you suggest we all read?
If you can go back to only one place, where would it be?
If we come to your house, what's on the menu?
What did you get on your tenth birthday?
Lookin' forward to gettin' to know ya'll !!

I want to go back to:
Bed
At my house, I will do a panfried Walleye with greed beans and tarter sauce and possibly mac-n-cheese
But if you are all coming over, then I make pasta Primavera with artichokes, red beans, peas, red onions green and black olives green peppers tomatos, and a homemade fennal vinagarette with garlic. Also feta cheese.
For my tenth birthday:
Like Freya, I do not remember, and what i do remember, you do not want to hear about, not on the front porch.
Glad to see you here, I will link you in my blog soon.
Nighty-night!
The Last Report on the Miracles of LIttle No Horse, Louise Erdich - tells the tale of an incredibly talented and passionate woman, who,disguised as a priest, renders service on a Indian reservation in the 1800s. She also has two extremely rich and exquisite love affairs in her lifetime - one before she becomes a priest, and one during.
Place? Oh, just one? I have three (sorry aunty i just can never seem to play by the rules):
the backyard of the house I grew up in - beautiful patio and a cute little playhouse my dad built for my sister and I, and though not a place - a time: the day my son was born; the day my daughter was born. both natural births - i have never felt so strong and sexy and competent in my entire life as on those two days. (endorhpins of course, contributed to this high - men - you have no idea what you are missing out on!)
What's for dinner? Tonight, we have a lovely roasted organic chicken breast marinated in balsamic vingarette and garlic, seved with a wild rice pilaf with pine nuts and dried cranberries, and a charming salad of fresh spinach, mandarin sections and honey mustard dijon dressing. To accompany the meal, we have a delightful BV Sauvigon (sp) Blanc.(a pitcher of clear, fresh water is also on the table.) For desert, fresh raspberries and strawberries garnished with mint (you may pour fresh cream over if you like and sugar is available on the side). After desert, we will adjourn to the living room for a game of charades or spin the bottle. Cigars or a nice blunt are available on the balcony. Later, I may break out the brandy if everyone's in the mood.

Hey Aunty Belle,
I mosied on round to the back door first (can't trust us aussies), so answers to your questions:
1. Book - Mists of Avalon by Marion Zimmer Bradley
2. Place - my bed
3. Food - depends what wine you are bringing - but probably a BBQ
4. Birthday - don't remember - but probably hot pink tracksuit from my Granny - cause thats what she gave me every year on the basis that they couldn't be handed down to my brothers (don't think I ever forgave her for that)
What are your answers AB???
And Bird - if I ever make it to US - Can I come for tea?

Hellpig's BBQ Beef Ribs
First you gotta find the right ribs,stay away from the flash frozen back ribs,and the short ribs.
For this recipe will require the best of the rib catagory.Go to your butcher and ask for the bones from the spencer steaks(spencer Steak is a rib eye without the rib)gather as many as you can might take a few stores to complete.
Once you gather the amount needed I say 3 ribs per person,cut into single ribs(if not done so already)
Next onions about one onion per 3 ribs,Sliced.
Foil, lotsa foil Heavy Duty,tear sheet about 15 inches or so,place layer of onions on foil,place 3 or 4 ribs all same direction season with your favorite seasonings or not(I don't)add another layer of onions,wrap foil tightly,then double wrap placing seam face down.Repeat with all ribs.
Cooking I prefer a gas grill with a hood,on lowest gas setting,Place all wrapped ribs onto grill(I usually keep them seam side up to help with tracking)close lid.about every 20minute to 1/2 hour flip over wrapped ribs.continue this for 3 hours avoiding flare ups.
At about 2.5 hours pull one wrapped rib and open CAREFULLY,if meat is pulling away from bone you are done,if not re-wrap and continue cooking.
When desired doneness is achieved remove all ribs to a platter,save onions trust me if someone see's you trash them all HELL will break loose.
Sauce,I use store bought but I add loads of crushed red pepper flakes.
return ribs to grill,sauce em flip em sauce em again,plate em,add a little more sauce,serve
Oven method 325,place wrapped ribs in shallow pan,flip every 1/2 hour,pull ribs,save onions,re-place ribs sauce and serve
These are the best you will have eaten if cooked correctly,the meat should fall off the bones.
PIG-
A. Belle don't know what a B is!! Me you and Bird needs to sneak up to the Magnolia Tree and sit in the branches.

read "Blinded By The Right" by David Brock... he's a former conservative who saw the light...
I would go back to Ireland in an Irish heartbeat...
the menu's never very fancy at my place... you'll get some angel hair, a taco salad or maybe pizza... the drink menu is better, however (sorry, no sweetened iced tea - I don't do caffeine)
