Slow Roasted Ribs

 

 

Beef Ribs, your choice of style and amount.
Rub:
1 cup brown sugar

 

1 tbsp paprika

 

1 tsp chili powder

 

1 tsp garlic powder

 

1 tsp onion powder

 

pinch of cayenne pepper

 

pinch of cinnamon

 

Salt and Pepper to your preference

 

Mix all together and rub onto the ribs. It’s best to do this the day before and let them rest over night in the fridge for optimum flavor. But you can do this right before roasting, like I did. You will still get a good flavor but it wont be as fully developed.

 

 

Place your ribs in a cast iron dutch oven, drizzle a little Worcestershire sauce over the ribs and slow roast them in a 250 degree oven for 3 hours. Turn up to 300 degrees and finish roasting, total of 4-5 hours. They should be tender and meat pull easily off the bone by this point. Top with your favorite barbeque sauce and enjoy!

Fireweed

The fireweed is in bloom, has been for
a couple of weeks now. I’ve longed to see it since I was here in ’94.
The Northern Lights are the only thing I still long to see here in
The Great Land now that I’m enjoying the fireweed!

 

The flowers are vibrant, bright pink
and tall, my Seester would love them! I hear tell there’s a place
down by Homer that has hills that are simply covered with the it and
it looks like the hills are on fire. I hope to see that soon.

 

Fireweed is our signal that summer is
nearing its end. Our daylight hours are already starting to wane.
This time next month we will really be noticing the difference.
