Tonight when I got home from work I came through the side garden instead of the garage, because we worked in Beaumont and RM drove, so she dropped me off in front. I smelled this wonderful Lemon Pledge® fragrance, and realized my brugmansia tree was in full bloom. I was coming from work and I had my camera in my bag, so I snapped this lovely photo.
As I began catching up on blogs, all the talk on Northwest Dan's blog about Applebees® and Olive Garden® made me hungry for Chili's® Baby Back Ribs®.
But I didn't want to go by myself, and I remembered I had some baby ribs in the freezer, so I lit the grill and they are smoking as we speak. Unfortunately, I realized I don't have any barbeque sauce until after I put them on, and I didn't want to go to the grocery, so I decided to improvise with an onion, some honey, some vinegar, the correct spices, and jar of Ragu®. It's white trash cooking at it's finest, and it looks and smells just like barbeque sauce now!
It should be done just in time for me to enjoy while I watch the season premiere of Top Chef, with my favorite celebuchef daddy, Tom Collichio.
Cheers! I'll let you know how it turns out!

What a beautiful bloom. I've never heard of that tree before!
Mmmm, your ribs sound fantastic! I love the convenience of bottled barbecue sauce, but on the rare occasion I've made it from scratch, it was SO good!
I cracked up over "babyback babyback..." because Ken likes to imitate Fat Bastard from Austin Powers and sing that. LOL
Love and hugs,

Yea Baby, I've got a BABY in my BELLY :o)
the ribs sucked- I got the grill too hot and the dried out. I still ate 'em but they weren't very good. Lesson learned! Next time I'm gonna try them in the Crock Pot®.
I bet your ribs were wonderful! Linda
You can't hurry ribs (sing along) you just have to wait,
