Bob’s suggestion: BBQ Baby Back Ribs with BBQ Beans and Coleslaw.
Update: Just had spareribs and baby back ribs in October. Need something different.
Current favorites (11/20):
Cheeseburger Chowder
Pork/Sweet taters over rice
Saturday: Chinese-style pork and vegetables over rice.
Sunday: Cheeseburger Chowder
Need to check the freezer inventory and decide on an entrée.
09:40:33 Verna: gonna be warm this weekend so any food ideas
09:40:59 Bob: bbq outdoor
09:41:25 Bob: pork chops one day brats/hotdogs/chili the next
09:42:59 Bob: pork chops with grilled asparagus and squash
09:43:44 Bob: orzo salad with hot dogs
Saturday: Broiled Pork Chops with Pumpernickel-spinach stuffing, white acorn squash, apple compoté and grilled asparagus spears. We canceled being outside since there was excessive smoke and ash fallout from the firestorms all over Southern California.
Sunday: Crockpot Texas Chili with grilled hot dogs and bratwurst. Not seen here is the Orzo Salad.
Red meat would be a good starting topic . . .
Saturday: Angel Hair Pasta and mozzarella-stuffed meatballs topped with pesto-marinara sauce.
Sunday: Hamburgers topped with Havarti cheese and baked steak potato spears.
Let the ideas flow . . . (from VB Chatroom:)

Looked in the freezer and saw a lot of pork spareribs. We should crockpot a rack this weekend. Also, there was a package of frozen spinach – something “Florentine” seems appropriate . . .
