Thank you, Lord and Lady, for poultry based bacon, sausage, and ham, otherwise life would lose a great deal of joy.

Beef ribs, too, are excellent.

Oh goodness yes. As is lamb sausage.

There was a study a while back that proved scientifically that swearing helps with pain - I see no reason not to extend that principle to whining as well.

Good call.

My life would lose so much joy without any pork in it! Pork is my favorite. Sorry, Connie.

I wonder if I've always had a pork sensitivity and just didn't realize it or if it came on as I ate less because of Hubby.

And yes, I concur on the yumminess of lamb. Is there really enough meat on ribs to make it worth the mess and fussing with bones?

I've had some very tasty lamb ribs. It's much richer than beef or pork, so the smaller amount of meat on the bone is perfect.

So I read this article (How Single Photographs Are Saving The Lives Of Shelter Animals Across The Country) about how good-quality photographs make it more likely a shelter animal will be adopted, so I decided to volunteer as a pet photographer.

I've sent an email to one shelter already--I'm crossing my fingers that they will want me.

If you cook them in a slow cooker, the meat basically falls off the bones anyway, so there's not much fuss involved in getting to the tasty tasty meat.

Damn it. Now I want ribs.

For lamb, it depends on the lamb - I find Sonoma lambs to be meatier. But we also like to get loin chops and cook them up like steaks.

tommyrot, that's so cool!

tommy, what an excellent idea!

I've been hanging out, playing with yarn and listening to an excellent version of Dracula from Audible.

Timelies all!

Never had lamb ribs. The last few times I've had beef short ribs, it was more like stew meat. I guess that's how some places cook them....
