The great 2010 Rib-Off

Old Rose was arguing with her boss a couple weeks ago about their rib recipes and which was better, so she decided to put him to the test and declared a rib-off!  The invitation said to bring your best ribs to the party and each person would vote on the winner.

My famous (?) Greek Salad

It’s almost summer again, (fingers crossed anyway) and at our house this usually means backyard BBQ’s and potlucks with friends.
