Friday Ribs

[Jim_C]

We went to the Corralitos Market (https://corralitosmarketsausagecompany.com/) on Thursday for 5 pounds of apple wood smoked bacon. (Google picture)

This is a dangerous place. (Google picture)

The picture of the pork section is older, since the price on the ribs is $6.49 now, but they still shape the ground pork into a pig's head. (Google picture)

The St. Louis style ribs were speaking to me. Pricey, but they were well trimmed up nicely.

Rubbed the ribs up with Kinder's 'The Blend'. I'm not a huge fan of this blend, but I wanted to use it up. I'll likely move on to something else, or go back to straight salt and pepper.

Fired up the Smoke Vault and filled the wood tray.

Into the smoker.

The temperature settled in at around 230 - 235

I found a potato salad recipe in a cookbook called "One Potato, Two Potato". The recipe was called Mom's Potato Salad. Four ingredients; Potato, Mayo, Onion powder, and Pepper. The guy injected a bit of humor; "notice I didn't say freshly ground black pepper. It wouldn't be mom's". I guess he meant the McCormick's canned black pepper.

I was feeling lazy, so I made it...........A bit too much of a mayo taste, so I cut it with some milk and add a couple of scallions.

Ready for service.

Plated with the potato salad.

Easy Friday evening meal. Thanks for tagging along.

Nice work Jim, love that shop, I can't stand driving in that direction though. Way to many people on the road these days.
I rather drive out to Lockeford Sausage Co. In Lockeford CA.
It only takes about an hour each way from my house . And we stop at fruit stands and buy sweet corn by the box right off the farms they grew them on. Lockeford Sausage Co, makes some amazing sausage out there. Thier Fennel Italian sausage is some of the best I've ever had.
And their beef jerky is KILL'er as well .
If you haven't been out there you should check it out, it's a nice drive by thee CA Delta, we drive up to Tahoe, and silver lake that way, just to hit the shop along the way .

We go to Watsonville when we're at our place in Half Moon Bay. We visit family, friends, and the cemetery. Highway 1 isn't too bad if we go midweek. Since we go in the back-way, Freedom blvd. through Corralitos, we drive right by the market.

But I agree with you......no way would we drive down to Watsonville from the East Bay. If we were to, it would be through Morgan Hill, the old Watsonville highway, and Hecker Pass. We avoid highway 17 through Santa Cruz. It's a death trap.

I'll check out Lockeford.
