Spice Rubbed Ribs with Apricot Glaze and Mashed Potatoes
We actually went out to dinner for Nick's birthday, but the ribs were a request for a birthday weekend dinner at home. We hadn't made these in awhile and they always turn out to be so delicious, unlike our attempts at beef short ribs. We made a simple mashed potato accompaniment and paired the meal with our current favorite beer, Ommegang's Three Philosophers, a smokey, caramel-y, quadruppel style ale infused with cherries.
Birthday Weekend Highlights
Birthday highlights include: a freshly seasoned wok; a vintage food and meat chopper for homemade sausage; a vintage Maryland Seafood cookbook, probably printed during the time Nick lived there, and containing recipes for such crowd favorites as 'Crab Imperial'; Wisconsin treats from Greg, JJ, Sol, and Poppy, including super yummy Alterra coffee out of Milwaukee; Hawaiian treats from Kate and Scott, for tropical drink making; and a birthday weekend breakfast of Trader Joe's chocolate croissants and espresso.
