      Thanks. Turns out they were flanken cut so I could chop them into pieces.

          Yes, we will be your test market.

          I volunteer to be a taste tester as well.

            Come on down!

            Now we have added flour and tomato paste, then returned the ribs to the pan and poured in a nice old vine Zinfandel. We'll let it simmer until the wine is reduced by half.

              Oh, fiddlesticks. Turns out the pantry is bare of beef stock and boullion!

              Guess I will have to use a mushroom base. Maybe throw a little chicken in with it. Should still be good.

                  Well! I got an order in at Kroger that I had working and it turns out it can be here by 1 PM! So once I reduce I just wait for the stock to arrive.

                    Annnd it turns out I DID have unsalted beef stock. MFR had put it in an unusual place.

                    Ok, so now I have plenty and a new case of wine.

                      Turned out really well. Served over parmesan polenta. We had a great time on the deck and just came in.

                        Parmesan polenta? Oh my. Are you posting these recipes in the cookbook thread. Please?
                        😁

                          Oh, that wasn't a recipe. Just cooked up some quick white grits and added some butter and parmesan to them.

                              Thank you, Brenda. I think a lot of us here have lucky - and wonderful - families.
