Emily Larsen’s Wheat Bread

3 ½ cups water (hot from the tap)
½ cup oil
½ cup honey
1 egg
1 Tbsp salt
Mix together and add 2 cups flour.
In a separate bowl mix 2 cups flour with 1 ½ Tbsp (1 Tbsp and 1 ½ tsp) yeast (instant dry) and add to above mixture.
Add flour one cup at a time (usually needs about 8 cups total—I prefer half white and half wheat) and mix for about 10 minutes on speed 1.
Place dough in greased bowl and let rise for 60 minutes in a warm place (until about double the size).  Knead on greased countertop, shape, and put into baking pans.
Let rise in baking pans for about 30 minutes.
Bake at 350 degrees for 30-35 minutes.

Gary’s Rib Recipe

2 lbs pork ribs
Sauce:
2 c. ketchup
1/4 c. vinegar
1/4 c. lemon juice
1 T. Mustard
1/4 c. brown sugar
1 onion diced
1 t. salt
1/4 t. garlic powder or 2 cloves garlic
½ c  Bullseye Barbecue Sauce
1 T. Wochestershire sauce
black pepper to taste
red pepper flakes to taste

You can just put all of this in the slow cooker and let it go, but I’m finding it tastes better if I brown the meat well first. It takes several hours in the slow-cooker before it is really tender enough.   It’s really enough sauce for more ribs, if you want.
