On Rainy Days I Stay In

I've been sick lately and it's made me quite miserable but I this little peek of sunshine which created a rainbow made me smile. Just a simple shot. BFF is always preaching about good light after it rains so thought I'd just take a shot rather than hear another lecture about it when I don't have the camera handy and can't capture it anyways LOL.

Anyways - this is the view from the balcony of our apartment. I love seeing smoke coming out of the odd chimmney on cold mornings.

Anyways back to recovering - lots of tea and sleep.

Legendary Ribs xo

This is a story about a legendary rib dish. So it really all started in Adelaide. I have a crazy friend from uni days back in Adelaide who I met under forced circumstances i.e. we were put into the same tutorial group for some supply chain logistics course (I almost fell asleep writing the course name). He used to pretend that he couldn't speak English, so I felt compelled to answer tutorial questions on behalf of the group (since they were all adopting this tactic). In any event this dude turned out to be quiet a fluent English speaking character with quite the sense of humour.

Since graduating we've kept in touch and he then introduced me to a friend of his when I first moved to Melbourne. Fortunately for all involved this new friend was a huge foodie and a great cook! We've enjoyed the delights of his home cooking which never fails to disappoint. The dishes he serves, I believe are certainly good enough to be on any hipster restaurant menu and I think is legendary ribs are the bomb! BFF and I have heard tales of food friend's legendary ribs which have the reputation of being mind blowing!!! The recipe is top secret but we've hard rumours of shavings of chocolate possibly being used. Who knows if it's true because no one dares ask and really I like the mystery. I also like that it's said friend's special ... dare I say signature recipe!

Honestly the best tasting ribs ever put before me! My taste buds are going crazy just recalling the flavours as I write this post. You can tell this foodie loves his meat! So do I! lol

I always try to help out by making a dessert but honestly we're all there for the main that he serves up! I love my foodie friends and I love their generosity. BFF and I don't own a dining table so we feel terrible about not inviting people over for dinners but honestly I take my hat off to those who cook a meal with their own hands and put on a dinner for others. It's a truly heart warming gesture that I truly appreciate. Being away from my family means I miss that warmth most. Sharing in a meal made by a friend brings a real smile to my face :)

So a heart felt thank to foodie friend maker of legendary ribs! I hrt these ribs! lol

Legendary Ribs how i love thee! (Photo does not do it justice!)
