Baby back ribs

K's doing fine after yesterday's surgery. He ended up getting practically a general anaesthesia because he kept moving during sedation which is a 'no-no'. We had to laugh as he explained that he couldn't help it. Every time he heard the drill whirring towards him, his hand started shaking almost involuntarily! He was wondering if he could go to a sleepover at a friend's house tonight, but we said, maybe in a week after he's finished taking his course of antibiotics.

I found some baby back ribs on sale at the grocery store, so I'm going to bake those today. Baby back ribs are the most tender of pork ribs and I noticed they always get all eaten up, unlike the side ribs. They cook up in no time, 350 F for half an hour, marinated in your favourite barbecue sauce. I also picked up some back to school subject notebooks and a few supplies although the kids aren't back to school until September 8th.

L played tennis with some older adults today (40 to 60 plus?), she was substituting in a round robin match. She had a great time bantering with them and they are in great shape. She thought one of the older men that she partnered with acted just like a kid that never grew up, right down to the snacks he ate and his playful behaviour. She's off to a friend's party in the evening.

In case you missed it, here's Adam Lambert's 'Starlight' on Good Morning America's summer concert this morning.

Hopefully it won't rain all weekend like they said it will.

So glad K got through it all - I was like him when getting my wisdom teeth out. I have never eaten ribs in my life.

Mmmm. Ribs! I can't seem to find them here in Holland. I bet I have to go to the butcher's.

Glad your boy got through the surgery ok. I think it's a good sign that he's already asked to sleep over at a friend's house.
