That Beefy-Noodley Thing
1 - 1.5 lbs. ground beef (or thinly sliced/cubed/ground pork or chicken)
2 packages ramen noodles (I used Sapporo Ichiban brand, link to amazon.com)
2 - 4 c frozen mixed veggies (or so, I don't measure, just use what you've got)
2 c hot water
additional: onion powder, garlic powder, soy sauce (just a bit), sambal oelek (fresh chili paste) or other hot sauce, or substitute fresh veggies for frozen (pre-sautee if needed, like onion)
In a large non-stick pan, sautee ground beef (or brown if cubed/sliced meat). Add noodles (slightly crushed), soup flavouring packages, veggies and water. Bring to a boil, then cover and simmer for about 5-10 minutes, making sure noodles are moistened and cooking. Add a bit of cornstarch in cold water if too wet, and cook for a couple of minutes. Serve! NB: Try and use a decent brand of noodles. The really cheap ones just don't have good flavour, or stand up to the cooking and get mushy.

Link to darford.com. We get Obie's dog treats from them. Treats are no gluten, no grain and no GMO's. His last box of treats had a bag of free dog food for stray dogs attached to it, and I fed it to the strays that came up to me this week.

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.

Link to mypicot.com, where I found the stitch patterns for my orange shawl. Go to "crochet patterns" tab, then click on "openwork and lace" to find them. The numbers are 2017 for the body of the shawl and 2038 for the "wings".

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.
