Laura pointed out to me last night that we have been eating up bits of food (so we don't have to throw it away when we go) since we got back from Salisbury and Bruges. Thats something like five weeks of eating. Worrying. However, we have made ribs twice. Recipe is tasty and easy:

• 3 spring onions, white part only, finely sliced
• 1 tablespoon sesame oil
• 2 garlic cloves, crushed
• 1 teaspoon wholegrain mustard
• 1 teaspoon chilli paste
• 3 tablespoons hoisin sauce.
• 3 tablespoons mango chutney.
• ½ sea salt
• ¼ black pepper
• 125ml Coopers pale ale
• 2 racks of american style ribs (600-700g)

Its really easy to make. Combine everything but the ribs together in a bowl - this part smells pretty bad. Cut up the ribs into eatable sizes and stick them in a deep tray. Pour the marinade over the ribs and leave them. The book says for a hour or two, but we normally leave them for a day. Stick them in the oven at a low heat for a hour or so, then grill them. Avoid comments from Laura about the lack of salad, veg, etc.

Swiped from the cooking with beer book my parents got us. Its a tasty tasty book.
