BBQ Ribs.

Today was a good day. Here are some good things about it:
  • My bus and trains were on time.
  • Had some good conversation around the lunch table at work
  • Left work 1.5 hours early and came home to Sten and then went to cycling and ab attack
  • Had a delicious dinner that was simple and fun to make.
  • I am still awake and it's 9:32pm because I HAVE THE DAY OFF TOMORROW so I can stay up!
Anyway. I wanted to branch out and try some new recipes this week, so at Harvest Time we bought about 5lbs. of ribs after I saw this from Iowa Girl Eats. Wowza. This recipe is a keeper. ENJOY!
 
 Baby back ribs.

 
First, mix together 3 Tbls. paprika, 2 Tbls. brown sugar, 1/2 tsp. cayenne and S & P. Rub this mixture all over both sides of our ribs well. 

 
Arrange the ribs in the slow cooker by standing them up against the wall of the stoneware pot, thicker side down and meaty side against the pot. Pour about 3 Cups BBQ sauce all over the ribs. THEN, put the cover on, stick it in the fridge and go to bed! The next day cover and cook for 6-8 hours on low.

 
Remove the ribs (be careful they are TENDER) and transfer bone side up to a baking pan lined with foil. Skim fat that has risen to the top and strain extra juices from the slow cooker to a small sauce pan.

  
Bring sauce to a boil, then allow to simmer and reduce by a bout a third (15 mins). Preheat your broiler. Brush the ribs  with sauce and broil for 3 mins. Take them out and very carefully flip them over, brush  with sauce and broil again, meat side up, for about 9 mins, taking them out once to brush with more sauce.

 
Sten set the table. AND took all these pics.

I also made pop-overs and Kate and Peter brought some greens. It was a wonderful meal and I am so proud of myself for branching out from my normal (boneless skinless chicken). I will DEFINITELY make this again.

Tomorrow I have nothing really to do except go for brunch at Tre Kronor! I plan to spend time outside and just enjoy the day to the fullest. My evening will be full of yoga, small group and the North Park men's soccer game. GO Vikings!

xoxo.

back 2 school. back at it. back to reality 2026

We eeeked out every last drop until it was time to head back to school on Wednesday. Annual tradition trip to Lucette after Meet the Teacher is the photo above. Happy to report that everyone did great the first 3 days of school- although I don't know if we're quite ready for a full 5 day week starting tomorrow :) Sten took the boys to Michigan to go to his cousins daughters wedding and they did something that Sten introduced me to when we were dating and on staff together at PLCBC- diving for golf balls! The boys thought it was a blast and I love that they got a bright blue -sunny -skies day to make the water look turquoise and the ball finding easy. While the boys were gone Lucy and I whooped it up! We went to the first Hudson football game... Went to the Glenwood City Rodeo.... AND drove to Iowa to see Josiah Queen at the Iowa State Fair!  Fun is an understatement to describe this little getaway and I feel so lucky we got to do this together. Then it was BACK TO REALITY! holy...

bookends/ teacher things/fall poem

The bookends of my day yesterday was God's way of showing me that I am going to be ok. This picture from my solo run in the morning was absolutely perfect. Cold hands, fast road miles, worship music and a text from a friend right in the middle of it saying that I was top of her prayer list that morning. Then in the evening the boys were outside playing waffle ball and Lucy was walking around the neighborhood with friends and I cranked up my music and cleaned the entire middle/lower level. I stopped at one point and thought-- this is the biggest gift right now.  Other things: I love pens. and there is something so satisfying about having every single color of felt tip/ gel tip at your disposal. lol. Life touch teacher photos--why is my ear showing so much? Is this what I always look like? Haley hosted the Badland Babes for some brunch after our Willow run on Saturday and she made THE most delicious food, didn't know I needed a bonfire until I was sitting in this chair eating thi...

Merry Christmas 2022

I am in complete denial that an entire year has passed! Where did 2022 go?! We celebrated some big milestones, had a lot of fun, and enjoyed our family most. Here are some highlights and lessons learned from 2022.  So. Much. Swimming! Lesson learned: ALWAYS get in the water. You’ll never regret it. Your kids will love you for it and you’ll make way more memories from inside the water than up on the boat. This day was particularly special as we were all together with Uncle Dan and Aunt Pam. We swam, we ate, we boated and we didn’t want the day to end. Having mom and dad move permanently to the Lake has been the BEST.  Midcurrent MOVED! We raised the money, hired the people, decorated and paved the way for more people to get to know Jesus. Before the carpet was laid we wrote prayers on the floor and I am so excited to see what 2023 will bring for Midcurrent. Lesson learned: do the big thing! Give people a chance to show up and see what God can do! Family camp is ALWAYS a highlig...
