MMMM Monday....

Sweet 'N' Sour Spare Ribs

4 lbs ribs or stewing beef
2 Tbsp brown sugar
1/2 tsp salt
2 Tbsp cornstarch
1/4 cup vinegar
2/3 cup cold water
1 Tbsp soya sauce
1 cube beef boullion (or 1 tsp.)
1/4 cup boiling water
1/2 cup chopped onion
1/2 cup sugar
1 cup pineapple juice
1 cup pineapple bits

boil ribs and salt for 30 minutes, until tender. Drain and blot with paper towel.

combine brown sugar and cornstarch, add vinegar, cold water and soya sauce. Allow it to heat throughout.

dissolve boullion cube in boiling water. add onion, sugar, and pineapple juice. mix well then add ribs and simmer until meat is glazed (about 15 mins), stirring. serve over boiled rice.

this is one of our favourite family recipes... but we do like it more saucy than the recipe says... I usually 4x the sauce recipe so that there's always extra sauce for the rice.

(I will be posting a picture soon... it just won't load right now!)

Munching Monday

Potato and Cheese Soup

brown in large pan:
1/2 pound bacon (chopped small)

Keep temperature on medium and really allow for browning.

Once bacon and onions are well cooked, add potato mixture and stir well while heating.
Add:
