Whenever I think of spareribs I think of this, I can't help it! If you haven't seen this SNL skit you need to watch it! Well the other night I made a barbequed spareribs recipe that I want to share. I got this recipe from the "Fix-It and Forget-It Cookbook."

• 4lbs. country style spareribs, cut into serving size pieces (I used babyback ribs)
• 10 3/4 oz. can tomato soup (1 normal sized can)
• 1/2 cup cider vinegar
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 1 Tbsp. soy sauce
• 1 tsp. celery seed
• 1 tsp. salt
• 1 tsp. chili powder
• dash of cayenne pepper (I didn't add this)

1. Place ribs in slow cooker.

2. Combine remaining ingredients and pout over ribs.

3. Cover. Cook on low for 6-8 hours.

4. Skim fat from juices before serving. (I didn't do this)

We liked it and it was very easy to make! Enjoy!

Over the gate

When we leave the house we gate Callie in the kitchen. Yesterday I came home and Callie greeted me as soon as I came in. I looked at the gate and it was still standing, so I wondered how she got out. I thought she pawed at the corner until it swung up and she squeezed through. Oh yeah, there was toilet paper strewn all over the house. Callie had pink all over her tongue and paws. I found a pack of Kool-Aid she had ate. While I was gone she must have been on a sugar high! David made sure to put the gate up tight today when we left from church so she couldn't paw it out. Well when David and I came home, sure enough Callie greeted us at the door. The gate was still up and secure, so we thought maybe she is jumping it. So we put her in the kitchen and watched to see what she did. Here is a video of how Callie escapes!

We are going to have to figure something out for tomorrow. David starts school so she will be by herself during the day.
