Got a homecoming lunch to prepare for and attend. Not really a homecoming - our friend's daughter has a wedding to attend for on of her Australian Navy colleagues. Making a round trip visit to her family before going to the wedding.
Loren is partial to bbq ribs. I said I would do them - two types - photo shows beef short ribs after 24 hours in sous vide at 155F. Ready for bbq action. Seasoned with salt and pepper and bbq rub. Vacuum seal in a bag that can take the heat without splitting
Pork ribs are her favourite - same temperature and seasoned with slat and pepper only and a teaspoon of liquid smoke for each bag. Set and forget
Leave an hour to make the sauces using the liquid that comes out the bags. Pork got a classic bbq sauce treatment - the old bottles of bbq sauce, apple cider vinegar, some garlic, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, tomato paste, tomato ketchup, mustard, maple syrup. Reduce it till it thickens - no flour
The beef ribs got a honey soy sauce - used ketjap manis and honey for sweetness. Apple cider vinegar, some ketchup and some tomato paste. Reduce until the sauce just flows off the back of a spoon. They will be used for sharing them on the bbq
Bbq work is to sear and render any fat on the fat side. Was yum. Nothing left - chef does well to test along the way
Lunch was a bit of a Navy thing. I spent my after cooking time entertaining Evvy - he loves my pork ribs.
He loves Clifford too. We had a good lunch. Dropped bottles off for some young boys up the road - they loved the $50 on Return and Earn
Spring flowers where the car was parked
Went for a short walk when we got home to get steps over 5k. A cascade of pink azaleas.
Watched some pickleball in our local park. Am keen to start running midweek sessions here walking distance from home
Steps done. Did cook stir fried rice for dinner - a simple dish to ease off after a solid lunch especially on what was a hot day. A bit early in the year to be hot 31C hot
