Friends over for dinner. Couldn't find my St. Louis cut ribs in the freezer so I decided to do a rack of pork in the Rosticciana style (rubbed with brown sugar, ground fennel seed, rosemary, garlic, crushed red pepper, salt, pepper). It's been brining since yesterday with salt, the garlic and same herbs.
Hasselbeck potatoes, tossed salad and Junior's cheesecake for dessert.
Probably the last deck dinner of 2021.

Sounds good. I do something a little similar, just substitute chili powder for the fennel.

I was disappointed. The Wild Fork pork rack was tough, even after 24 hours brining. I have not been very happy with their pork by and large.
The flavor was great, though. But next time I will stick to ribs.
The Hasselbecks were simple - just the potatoes, olive oil, salt and pepper, with some parmesan at the end.
The Junior's cheesecake was fantastic. Never has such a good product from a grocery store frozen.

You don't bake, do you? I once made a New York Deli style cheesecake from Rose Levy Berenbaum's Cake Bible and ooo-la-LA! If you're ever bitten by the baking bug, if you can find that recipe you'll never buy frozen again.

I really don't bake. If I did I'd eat a lot more baked goods which I really do not need. I have made cheesecake once. Don't remember the recipe, but it was great. I used a shortbread crust as I don't care much for graham cracker crusts

My hubby makes the BEST cheesy cheesecake. It doesn't need any toppings, but gilding the lily is permitted in our home.

Brenda, I will PM you my address so that I may judge his efforts.

It won't get shipped anywhere but within our house. There are rules about that here.
