Stu and I finally got a kitchen table today... It's a cute little brunch sized table... Perfect for just the two of us. Something strange took hold of me after we had put the table together and placed it in the dining room... I had an urge to make dinner like you wouldn't believe. There's something so, spectacular about setting a new table for the first time. I definitely made a big to-do of it.
I, personally, cannot take all of the credit for the ribs we prepared.. I only thawed and cut them... Stu marinaded and baked them....
The ribs were marinaded in Mesquite Smoke flavored Barbecue Sauce, with two cloves of garlic finely diced, onion powder, salt and pepper. Baked in the oven at 375 for about an hour and a half.
The Garlic Mashed Potatoes were instant.... I hope to one day be able to make homemade Mashed Potatoes, unfortunately, I'm not there yet.
As for the Brussell Sprout Casserole, just take maybe, half a pound of Brussell Sprouts, wash and halve them. Slice six to eight pieces of bacon into one inch pieces, and put about a quarter-cup of light brown sugar in a bowl on the side... Layer the three ingredients, Sprouts, Bacon then Sugar... Laying the bacon in a patch-work layout. So as the Sprouts are all but completely covered by the bacon. Then just bake in the oven at 350-375 for just short of an hour (or until the bacon is as crisp as you would like it to be).

Been out sick
.I took a few days off from cooking on account of my having a stomach bug for the past two weeks.... I think any decent cook would agree that cooking while ill can have terrible after effects... I'm looking forward to more cooking this week though! I'm feeling better and I'm ready to get back in the swing of things.
