Dinner at Home


Steamed Artichokes with Garlic Butter
The artichokes were steamed for approx. 40 minutes and the we made some lemony garlic butter as a dipping sauce.


Short Ribs
We opted to use the broiler instead of the grill today and it was actually a bit better because these thick ribs drip a lot of grease and tend to cause flare-ups on the grill.

-1 inch nub of grated ginger
-1 tb garlic powder
-3 packets Splenda
-3 tb soy sauce
-1 tb sesame oil
-1 tb rice vinager
-1 tb chili powder

-6 thich cut short risb (3 bones each)

Thoroughly mix all of the marinade ingredients and marinate the meat for a few hours. Then place the ribs on a baking rack inside of a cookie sheet (to catch the drips) and broil until browned and crusty on each side.


Swiss Chard with Garlic
Giao doesn't like chard because he finds it a bit bitter. This was pretty good though, lots of garlic.

-1 bunch swiss chard, chopped
-4 cloves garlic, minced
-salt and pepper to taste

Sautee the garlic in a bit of olive oil until beginning to brown. Add the chard and sautee until tender and green parts are wilted.
