        It's actually really easy too. Although my ribs are not cut short like that. They are about 6". I don't happen to have a bandsaw for meat.

          Happy birthday to your kiddo! You're a good dad to make her this amazing meal, and cake, too. 🍰

            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.
