8. I'm going to post it on my cooking blog, but here you go...

Ruminations
This is a combination of two recipes. Brian's marinating technique and Randy's BBQ sauce. The result is simply the best ribs I've ever had. It requires a bit of time, but the rewards are well worth the effort. I prefer baby back ribs because I think they have the most flavor.

Ingredients

Marinade
Juice of 1 lemon
Worcestershire sauce
garlic powder
paprika

Sauce
1 large can tomato sauce
1/4 c yellow mustard
1/2 c vinegar
1 T black pepper
several dashes worcestershire
dash or two soy
1/2 c brown sugar
2 T celery seeds
1 T garlic powder
(Cayenne pepper optional)

Directions
Squeeze lemon juice and worcestershire sauce on both sides of the ribs. Then apply a liberal amount of garlic powder and paprika. Bake in a 300° oven for 3 hours. To make sauce, combine all the ingredients and simmer for 10-15 minutes. Let cool. When ribs are done, remove from oven and cool. Then, over medium heat, cook ribs on the grill, basting often with the sauce.

11. Yum. I have tried boiling and roasting before the grill, and I like the roasting method better.

And you sauce sounds like a classic.

Enjoy! I wish I was at your house.

13. Thanks! .

I tried boiling them once. But roasting is way better. They get so tender! And the sauce is great. They key is the celery seeds. It's good with chicken as well.

2. Stuffed chicken breasts that I hope come out alright

filled with swiss cheese and mushrooms, topped with a big slice of Creole tomato at about 20 minutes before they are done, pasta alfredo and a leafy green salad. Crossing my fingers that taking Warpy and Kali's advice, it will turn out okay. It's for my parents.

3. Hamburger patties, apricot couscous and leftover ratatouille.

I love ground meat and I am going to spice these up with mint and middle eastern spices.

A miso sauce and brown rice and a Thai cucumber salad

6. Roast duck breasts with blueberry chutney.

Also, roasted fingerling potatoes seasoned with salt, pepper and rosemary. And an arugula salad with cranberries. I can't wait. Potatoes in the oven now.

9. I've never used or made chutney at home. It's one of those things I'd like to try.

For some reason whenever I do meat or fowl with fruits it's Chinese or SE Asian. (Spent 2 years in a Chinese restaurant, that may have something to do with it...)

12. LOLOLOL! I finally followed the directions on the reduction last time.

It really made a difference. It lasts for several weeks too. It's a great recipe. I'll post later.
