    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.
