New theme
My husband managed to get a new “theme” installed for my weblog! I like the colors MUCH better. It feels like “summer” doesn’t it? The other one was way too dark and depressing for a recipe blog. Well, I’ll be posting more recipes tomorrow (I’ve got Hammy today).

After the ribs are cooked increase oven temp to 425 then remove lid and brown ribs an additional 7 minutes basting frequently with pan juices. Serve with remaining sauce mixed with pan juices.
