    The ribs I cooked tonight are the beef back ribs-the same general anatomy for the cow as the pork back ribs for a pig.  The whole section of ribs 6-7 bones weigh around 3-4 lbs NAMP # 124.  
    Beef plate ribs are the home of the dino bones - NAMP #123A.  When I get these-they run 7-8 lbs for 3 bones.  This cut is the home of "brisket on a stick."
    Beef chuck short ribs are NAMP 130 designated and are the 3-4 inch long ribs with the meat on top of the bone that you normally find called short ribs.
    BTW- NAMP is the North American Meat Processors Association.  Next time you visit your local butcher, speak in NAMP numbers- judge the reaction/response.
    That's way more than I need to process tonight.  
    Stay healthy and safe out there.  
    Last time I asked for 3 or 4 bone NAMP 123A, I got a blank stare.  I was crest fallen.  I left with salmon.

    I love what you've done here. What's on the collards and can you tell me more about the corn?

    @Ozzie_Isaac Our butcher at the local grocery tells my wife I always ask for “weird stuff”. That because I call cuts by name or ask for meat by the NAMP #.  
    Case in point I recently ask if he could get pork collar - he had no idea what I was talking about.

    Most grocery store "butchers" are not real butchers.  They know enough to do their jobs through some targeted training.

    I make a general assumption that butchers love meat and their occupation as much as I do and want to learn more and talk about it.  I have met one grocery store butcher who is that way.  The other ones have been just making a paycheck.

    Cookies look great.  Looks like the flag team lost a member, or at least he forgot the password to one of his accounts.

    @trippleripple - thanks!  The collards were just sautéed in olive oil with onion and cider vinegar, I topped with a hot sauce from a local restaurant, but it is just peppers, vinegar, and salt, so any vinegar forward bot sauce would work.

    For the corn we sautéed 2 cups of frozen corn in a tablespoon and a half of butter, until cooked and slightly charred, let cool, and then mixed with 1/4 c of this general remoulade.

    Short rib ragu started.  All I’ll need to do tonight is shred those, skim some fat, and cook some rigatoni.
    Boneless beef short ribs?  Is that a jarred marinara?  Sounds really good and simple.  Pics of finished product?

    I’ll try and remember to grab a plated pic, the cooking should be done around 5:30, but you are correct on the boneless short ribs.  It’s actually tomato purée, it comes from an America’s Test Kitchen slow cooker book.  It is really easy, quick to pull together, and like lots of crock pot meals, makes the house smell good all day.

    Pizza, and found out it was stuck to the pan in the middle when I tried to get it out.  Still tastes good, just eating with a fork.

    No pics, so it probably didn't happen.
    I thawed the other half of my bourbon/bacon meat loaf I posted a few weeks ago, and made a sammich on sourdough with butter and mayo.  Very good, but I should've toasted the sourdough first.  
    Tomorrow.

    Butter and mayo!  Drizzle some olive oil and you have a party.

    Some charcuterie and cheese first. Then a batch of fried oysters. Not a bad way to end the day. Chased down by plenty of adult beverages. 
    The recipe for anyone interested:
