Note: I double the amounts called for: vinegar, mustard, brown sugar, molasses, ketchup and bacon. If using blackstrap molasses, do not quite double amount due to the intense taste.

Note: For the buttermilk, you can substitute: milk soured with lemon juice or sour cream diluted with milk.

Anne's Ribs
2 racks pork back ribs
1/2 c. bottled bbq sauce (this is the most you will need, probably less)
salt and pepper
Two (2) hours prior to cooking, remove ribs from the fridge to bring to room temperature. Preheat oven (or set up barbecue for indirect cooking) to 300F. Rinse and dry ribs, and score silver skin on the back of the ribs (or remove silver skin if able). Rub a small amount of salt and pepper to taste on both sides of the ribs. Place on a foil lined shallow pan (jelly roll pan for oven, a piece of foil for the grill) and place, uncovered, in oven or on cool part of grill. Close grill cover. Bake or grill for 2 hours. Increase heat in oven or grill to 375F. Baste ribs liberally with bbq sauce. Return to oven or grill, and heat until bbq sauce is caramelized and crispy about 12-15 minutes. Remove ribs to a cutting board, and let rest up to 15 minutes. Cut between bones and enjoy!
Link to Ultimate Brownies recipe over on food.com. N.B. I added 1/2 tsp baking powder to the flour. I baked the brownies at an increased temperature of 350F for 25 - 30 minutes.
This is how bright it still is at 10:30 pm. It will get darker, but not completely dark.
Look at that beautiful fish with its rich colours!
Recipe: Baked Rainbow Trout with Caramelized Onion
1 rainbow trout, cleaned and cut into two fillets, deboned as able
1 sweet or cooking onion, cut in half and sliced thinly
1 tbsp. brown sugar (or so)
soy sauce (maybe 1 1/2 to 2 tsps, or to taste)
freshly ground black pepper
butter (about 3 tbsps.) softened
Rinse and wipe dry fish. Place in a shallow dish, and sprinkle flesh side of fish with soy sauce. I just added enough to moisten the flesh, but not enough to actually drip off. Add pepper and set aside.
Saute onion in a small amount butter (or oil) until well softened, about 5-10 min. on medium heat. Reduce heat to medium low, add brown sugar and saute until well caramelized, raising heat if needed, about 15 minutes more.
Make a foil package large enough to lay the fish in one layer, as well as wrapping around it. (Use no-stick foil if desired). Rub foil with about 1 tbsp butter, and spread about 1/3 of the onion over it. Lay fish over onion. Dot with about 1 1/2 tsps. butter on each fillet. Spread remaining onion over fish. Bring up edges of foil and seal, leaving room for heat expansion. Place in preheated 375-400F oven on a drip pan (I use a 10 x 15 " jelly roll pan) and bake about 15 minutes, or until fish flakes easily with a fork (just poke a little hole in top of foil to test). Remove from foil and serve with roasted potatoes and a green salad.
