First trip of the year to the Farmer’s Market

Mrs. BigDumbChimp and I made a quick run over to the Mt. P farmers market and just grabbed a bunch of stuff. Looks good though!! Beets, cucumbers for some Yankee freezer pickles, strawberries, green beens, broccoli, asparagus, tomatoes, onions and some honey. Gotta love spring.

Wine braised Short Ribs with Blue Cheese Grits

Ok, lets hope this gets me back on the horse for real.

Beef short ribs are like heaven. Like beef cheeks or a good brasato al barolo, they have an amazing beef flavor with that fork tender fall part texture. It’s a great fall-winter meal but damn If I wouldn’t eat them all year long.

As always, source your beef from a good butcher who can make sure you get nice big thick shortribs. you can use the cross-cut or the single rib style. My butcher had the cross cut so thats what was used here.
