The ribs at least got some bone flavor going similar to the shank bones. I also made some mascarpone mashed yellow potatoes to serve it on and made Tiramisu for dessert

Came out pretty good! Made some good barbacoa one night as well and we had tacos that night.

^ That sounds amazing, nice recipe substitution with beef short ribs and those mashed sound great. One of my favourite meals of all time was beef short ribs on creamy polenta, yummy.

It came out great and was a pretty simple recipe really. A bit more cleaning the meat up after cooking with the extra fat and stuff, but it fell apart and was pretty easy to separate. When shopping I also noticed the beef short ribs at the regular grocery store were $13/pound! I was happy to use mine from a small farm that cost me $5.50 a pound

Food is getting up there in price!

I bought some baby eggplant the other day and was trying to figure out a different way to cook them, I like eggplant but I don't have a lot of uses for them as we typically just stuff them.

Tonight we made pasta alla norma, it was angel hair pasta with diced eggplant, in a tomato sauce.

Lots of garlic, some cherry tomatoes, olives, and fried diced eggplant, seasoned to our taste with a bit of chili pepper. My family loved it .

I bake eggplant in the oven instead of frying. Just dip the slices in breadcrumbs, put a bit of tomato sauce in the middle of each, season and sprinkle some Parmesan cheese on top. Bake for about 30 min at 375. Serve with pasta.

We like dried apricots and dried mango. And prunes. I discovered the mango I was eating had added sugar, so I made a change to this company - Anna and Sarah. The mango is a bit drier and less sweet, but very good, so will be ordering from them again.
