My parents are showing up today at 3:00 for New Years Dinner.... Working on a big pot of ribs and kraut, to celebrate the new year.... Picked up 3 racks of smoked baby back ribs from Thurn's, and those babies will be cold marinating in german sauerkraut infused with white wine for about 4 hours until it's time to get them cooking. Gonna have them with a big batch of mashed potatoes and a french baguette from Panera's (if they are open today????).
Yeah, I make mine with a chunk of diced salt pork, fried crisp. That right there is some good eatin. Jim, thanks for reminding me.... I'm adding it to my meal today...
Glad to help. One has to have all the traditional good luck foods on hand to start out the new year properly. Can't take any chances with MOTD right around the corner. Jim
