This was different as we arose early this morning in order for Jim to attend the second day of a conference. It’s nearly 6:00 p.m. and he is en route home.
I busied myself with chores, laundry, errands et al. Now behind me on the telly is Sense and Sensibility, one of my favorite movies. One of Jim’s least favorite as any comedy of manners, Jane Austen saga or basic chick flick bores him to tears! Let’s give him credit, he sat through The Queen twice, and Memoirs of a Geisha. He’s a really good sport but I have to go to his movies as well.
Here is what I saw at seven this morning, two Greater Sandhill Cranes and their two healthy, bounding colts:

Today I got beef ribs, that were on sale. I asked the butcher if my preferred method would work and he said yes, so I applied a rub of salt, pepper, Hungarian paprika and sugar and placed them in a low oven for 90 minutes. Then I’ll add BBQ sauce (Austin’s Own) and Jim will grill it for five minutes a side.
These chipotle sweet potato fries (frozen, from Alexa) are fantastic as I usually find sweet potatoes too sweet on their own. I have a cucumber salad from last night and will also grill some radicchio with a bit of olive oil, salt and pepper. That’s it. Thank you, dear readers, for allowing me to share recipes, cooking ideas and experiences with you. Cheers, Dee
