well with my oven on the fritz and the weather not cooperating, my january cooking classes took a hit. thankfully a couple of dinner parties dropped into my lap. braised with cabernet and served with carmelized brussels these short ribs were perfect for the bone chilling weather we'd been having.
short ribs are now kinda gucci. it's weird really. i remember serving short ribs a bunch of years ago as a cheap meal with tons of flavor. it has happened with lots of things. pancetta was 3.50 at an expensive italian deli now it's 10.99 at giant. skirt steak was so cheap. now all this stuff is pretty expensive. I'm not talking all that long ago really. Maybe 10 years or so. just before the tech bust. and way before the housing bubble. so when's the food bubble gonna burst?
