Good Morning All,

Memorial Day weekend is a washout on the Jersey Shore with up to 2 inches of additional rain forecast for parts of the tri-state area just for today. We may catch a break and get in the Yankees/Red Sox game this afternoon.

I baked bread yesterday and put two slabs of ribs with dry rub on them in the fridge. I like Alton Brown's "Who loves 'ya Baby-back" recipe from FoodTV.com. It works very nicely and produces very tender ribs that you finish on the grill.

I made up a salad for supper last night. Fresh spinach, stemmed and torn, tossed with bottled Italian dressing, button Crimmini mushrooms, stemmed and quartered, chiffonade of fresh Basil, and bacon bits. The family nailed it. Crimminis are the same as Portobellas, just smaller. Chiffonade just means cut into ribbons. Stack the leaves and roll up the long side to form a tube. Slice in about 2mm wide sections and unroll, et voila, a chiffonade of basil. It adds a nice sweet herby flavor.

Garde la Foi, mes amis! Nous nous sommes les sauveurs de la République! Maintenant et Toujours!
(Keep the Faith, my friends! We are the saviors of the Republic! Now and Forever!)
