It felt like home here this Evening. Jilda put spare ribs, potatoes, and sour kraut in the crockpot to slow cook all evening while she went to work. When I came home at 4 P.M., the house smelled like her mother's kitchen.
The dish is one her mom "threw together" from time to time along with a pone of cornbread. I'm thankful Ruby taught Jilda how to make it.
Laying down my laptop bag, I stepped over to the crockpot and lifted the lit. A soft cloud rose, and I leaned my face almost into the crockpot to savor the aroma. I Pulled a long spoon from the drawer and steered the concoction to ensure it wasn't sticking to the bottom. But Jilda had put it on slow-cook, so the ribs were tender, and they fell apart as I steered.
I turned the Oven on 425, pulled a bowl from the pantry and tossed in the Meal with a little flour, two eggs, a scoop of mayo and a few cups of buttermilk. Soon after, I heard the oven beep saying it was at the right temp. I poured the mixture into a skillet greased with coconut oil and about 30 minutes later when Jilda walked in the door everything was ready.
A Simple Meal was just what my spirit needed today.
The picture below is one I shot yesterday afternoon just before our yoga class.
