    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.
