rib-tastic thursday...

ready to go...

today's recipe is for braised short ribs cooked in barolo...being that barolo is kinda expensive - not that the boys aren't worth it...i opted for a shiraz (compliments of my pal debbie who had a bottle hanging around her place so i stole it...) i think it'll be fine...but i have to admit that this always scares me a little - cooking for the boys...but it always seems to work out, or at least be eatable. fingers crossed. the recipe calls for polenta but i'm not sure i'll have time to make that as it has to be watched as you cook it and you have to keep stirring, etc...hard to work and make polenta. so, it'll be mashed potatoes and maybe another veggie...
pretty exciting.

fresh out of the pan...now into the slow cooker.

before action.

some nice pancetta that'll give it a little more taste....hopefully.
