ghetto pork ribs

I normally don’t consume pork, but the food co-op always includes about a pound of the stuff whenever I get food from them and my kitchen is quite bare so I made some quick ribs. Those of you who enjoy pork or slow cooked ribs, leave now because I will probably offend you. Ingredients: 1 [...]

Roasted Red Pepper Salad with Almonds

First I started preheating the oven while I wrapped a couple potatoes in some aluminum foil. Then [...]
