Summer is a time for BBQ’d ribs

The summer solstice for 2013 is tomorrow and it is celebrated in many ways around the world! However, I prefer to enjoy the first barbecue of the summer!

What better than barbecued ribs that have been sitting in a spicy cure? I will now boil them in the cure and cover them in a sauce for a few days the barbecue them up!

Celebrate every day with a BBQ is a luxury!

On Karen’s second day was a full day at the conference PLUS a tour of Dalian and the surrounds! China’s largest stone animals and the largest plaza was part of the tour. A beach frequented by Russian Tourists was a hit as well!

Karen’s third day was all about her invited talk… And as is customary in our family we all say to her in a good natured way, ” What if no body comes ??!”

Knowing Karen it was a hit!
