Other than a shot for a recipe I’ll share soon, I’ve got nothing good today. This is (most of) me, doing locust pose – taken as part of a yoga pose of the day challenge I’m taking part of over on Nerd Fitness.

I’m surprised some sort of vortex didn’t open up, this is so much cute. 

  
Not captured: a little later when D’ar was sitting right next to Sam, trying everything in his power to get her to talk to him – including making some noise that almost approximated an attempt at words, and ramming his face into the side of her head.

Wieners, man.

Slow Cooked Beef Short Ribs

This meal makes a great transition into fall, taking the last of the summer corn and comboing it with nice and hearty short ribs.

Gluten-free, paleo-ish

 

Slow Cooked Beef Short Ribs

2 lbs. short ribs
1 cup red wine
28 ounces canned diced tomatoes
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
1/2 bunch thyme, 2 sprigs rosemary & 3 bay leaves tied in a bundle
1/2 head crushed garlic
4 Tbsp. onion powder
2 Tbsp. Kosher salt
Apple cider vinegar (optional)

Dump all ingredients into your slow cooker. Cook on high 6 hours.

Remove beef and set aside to cool. While cooling, put the cooking liquid into a large pot over medium heat and reduce by half; this took me about 40 minutes. When the cooking liquid is reduced to your liking, blend.

Pull the beef and pour the sauce over top. Taste. Adjust as needed – I added 2 Tbsp. apple cider vinegar, 2 more big pinches salt and 2 big pinches red pepper flakes.

Serves 4
