i have to admit that i was a little leery of making the ribs with stout, as in thick ale/beer/booze...as i don't really like booze in food. i once had a pack of those shitty liqueur filled chocolates under my my bed for at least three years when i was living at home. someone gave them to me and i couldn't for the life of me get through them...then one night my pal nancy heenan was over and she somehow found them and asked if she could have one...in the end i think she may have eatten them all - i was happy to have them gone. but today the recipe for the short ribs called for a couple/three bottles of stout and who am i to fuck with a recipe...? after work last night i grabbed the garbs and we headed out on our mission to find the goods for the thursday hoedown...and i'm here to tell you, it's no easy task finding short ribs in this town. i/we had to go to three or four places before we finally found some at the urban fare on davie street...the guy was a little alarmed that i wanted 8-10 pounds of ribs buy i assured him i knew what i was doing as i had several big eaters to feed...
i also bought a crock pot, as i don't have one and thought i should, and a new hand immersion blender to puree the veggies and stiut at the end to make the gravyish sauce that covers the whole deal at the end.
it worked out pretty well...and really, if i had bought less meat old 'snacks' woulda gone hungry.
next week....pulled pork sandwiches...i think...

the veggies i grilled up and then put in the crock pot with the stout. in the end they got all nicely blended-up and turned into sauce....wicked.
snacks loves the ribs.
sauce.
braised short ribs at 6:45 am after i gave them a turn in the pan before putting them in the crock pot.
