Picasso and twinkle,thanks for your welcome back wishes.i have to do more unpacking.I slept much to long this morning. It is very strange to be back on my computer and it is different.I liked DS ones better,but my DH thinks this one is. Does anyone have a great idea about a new subject??? I have to do more unpacking . My DH went to the post office.They were supposed to forward the mail,but send it back to all the people. everybody is calling. I have to call all the utility companies to resend the bills. What a task. See you all later,Renate

Good Morning All!

Glad to see you back Renate. Sorry you have to be air conditioned again. I just hate being trapped by a/c. Luckily this summer has been so nice so far that it has not been an issue.

We got back late last night. I hate to be back in this humid and hot place and sleep with AC again. Now I only can dream about sleping with an open window.I have to unpack and coming down from an 7 000 feet altitude to sea level makes you feel strange and confused. ==But anyway,Picasso they declared you as an honorable Cuban citizien. Alissa and Shannon,I am sorry to hear you are both not feeling well. Waving to all of you.Have to be back later,Renate

Alissa - Glad you are feeling better. I have heard of Jewish penicillan before, but not for a very long time. That is quite the excitement you had and a reminder to be very careful of your possessions when you are shopping.

Shannon - I will keep you in my prayers. And in case you need some reinforcement

STAY IN BED!

Diva - I felt like I really needed to post, post, post. It has been kind of quiet here.

Wow Piccaso you've been a busy girl!

That is quite a bit of excitement Alissa, lol on the Jewish penicillin. I never heard that before so I googled it hah.

Take it easy there Shannon and follow doctors orders. Praying that everything turns out okay for you.

It is overcast and cool here again today. I am getting pretty sick of this rain.

hello girls. I've enjoyed the recipe so far. Glad that everyone was able to add some because they look great and I haven't had a chance to look for any. I haven't been doing so well. Yesterday I passed a clot and still have some bleeding. No pain or cramping but the doc has ordered me off my feet at least until my appointment on Tues. Please say a prayer. I'm nervous with this being the first pregnancy. Everything is new, every feeling, every emotion, every worry. I called my friend who is a nurse practioner and she saidgo to bed and stay there for three days. She tells it to me like it needs to be told and that is exactly what I want and need. Well that's it for now. Alissa, I am glad you are feeling better. Ttys Shannon

Preheat oven to 350=B0. In a medium-size skillet over low heat, heat the oil until it is fragrant, then cook the onion, bell pepper, and garlic, stirring, until tender, 8 to 10 minutes. Add the tomatoes, pimientos, and sherry, cook until thickened, 15 minutes, and season with salt and pepper.

Lightly oil 4 ramekins or au gratin dishes and divide the sauce among them. For each dish, break two eggs into a saucer, slide them on top of the tomato mixture, and drizzle with 1 tablespoon melted butter.

Bake until the whites are set and the yolks are still soft, 10 to 12 minutes. Sprinkle with salt, pepper, and parsley, and serve immediately from the baking dishes. (Place each on a serving plate, to protect the table).

Costillitas (Cuban Style Baby Back Ribs recipe)

courtesy of Cocina Cubana Club (please join) / Pascual Perez and chef Sonia Martinez

6-8 lb lean baby back pork ribs
8 Cloves of garlic
Juice of 3 large lemons
1/4 tsp. ground oregano
1 cup sour orange juice
(Or 1 Cup of Orange Juice with the juice of 1 large lime ( I use 1/2 & 1/2 of each)
5 tsp of salt
2 teaspoon of olive oil

Cut the ribs in 5 to 7 inches sections. Wash well under faucet and dry thoroughly with paper towel. Smash the garlic cloves in a mortar or garlic press.

Mix the sour orange juice, lime juice, oregano, garlic, olive oil and 1/ 2 teaspoon of salt. Set aside about 1/2 cup of this mix ( the marinating sauce) to be used when serving. Place ribs in a large non-metal container and pour the rest of mix over the ribs. Rub the remaining salt thoroughly on all surfaces of the ribs. Place in the refrigerator and let stand for 2 to 3 hours.

Set you gas or charcoal grill to low and place ribs so that they are not exposed to direct flame. Cook slowly for about 30 - 45 minutes. Time will depend on the temperature of the your grill . (Cook very slowly to insure tenderness). Turn ribs once or twice while cooking. Once they are cooked, increase the heat to high or in the case of a charcoal grill place ribs over direct high charcoal heat in order to brown. Turn as needed to brown both sides well.

Serve with black beans and rice!!
