No Blog Weekend + Pizza Night + Baby Back Spare Ribs

Wee, Geraldine and I had a lovely weekend. They're always too short, especially for her. She works so hard. Life in the urban jungle is still a struggle. I would have blogger or at least given a written account of my food consumption and exercise, but there was too much going on around here at home.

I was very good this weekend with food consumption. I didn't eat between meals and my intake the rest of the time was moderate. I didn't do that as much exercise as I would have liked. Saturdays Geri and I usually walk the dogs first thing in the morning and that's a nice little trail we use and that's a mile. Then we walk around Lake Merritt, which is 3.5 miles. The we go to the Grand Lake farmers market and do some shopping. Then if it's a really good day we get in a couple of more miles after dinner, which we try to do every night.

Today is a fast day and that's going well. I had some pistachios, a little cucumber, and a little water melon. I also had a cup of tea with one sugar for breakfast. I've had some strong cravings today and I needed a little some to quell them.

We have old friends coming over for pizza tonight. This time I'm going to put some baby back ribs in the oven after the pizza cooking is done. I'm using a recipe I got from James Earl Jones. I saw him on Oprah maybe twenty years ago, and O mentioned she had his baby back ribs, and asked what was his secret. The answer was Lawry's seasoning salt for a dry rub. I put a little olive oil on both sides of the ribs, a liberal sprinkling of Lawyr's, double wrap of tin foil, in the oven at 250 degrees for five hours. The hardest thing about this recipe is going to the store and getting the food. If you want to can add some BBQ sauce 45 minutes before you're done cooking or at the end.

I'll close the door to the oven when I done cooking pizza, and then put them in the oven before we go to bed and what when I wake up tomorrow they'll be done. I love that oven.

That's it.

Peace,

Make Food, Not War
