Oh what a pain! Ribs are not something we eat very often (once or twice a year), so I have very litle experience cooking them. But Marc loves the things, and since they were on sale I thought it would be nice to surprise him with some barbecued ribs for dinner. What a mistake! Searching the internet provides me with a minimum of 4,592 different ways to do it. I decided that I should make a record of how I do it, so that if they turn out tasty I can refer back to this post next year when I go to cook them again. LOL

I'm going to go with searing these country-style pork ribs in a pan with olive oil, then baking them in a covered pan at 300*F for 1.5 hours, coating them in sauce, and returning them to the oven for another 30 minutes. And I'm not doing a rub or using homemade sauce, either! And he's going to think I'm spoiling him and thank me profusely. Imagine how he would feel if I went all out and actually used some of my cooking skills to impress him. *grin* Oh well, I'll spend the afternoon outside with the kids and he'll still think I'm great. That sounds like a great afternoon to me!

Nothing goes better with a yummy souvlaki and homemade tzatziki than this tasty homemade pita bread! We slather the pita with tzatziki and add lettuce, red onion, cucumber, Kalamata olives, feta cheese, and the grilled souvlaki. It's one of my favorite meals!
