Barbecued Ribs or Chicken

Peggy Waltman

This sauce is also good on Chicken

1 c. ketchup
1/4 c. oil
1/4 c. liquid smoke (Colgin)
2 dashes of soy sauce
2 c. Pace picante sauce
1/2 c. brown sugar
1/2 tsp. minced garlic
Country style spare ribs or chicken

Combine above ingredients and stir well.  Put ribs in pan and pour half of sauce over ribs.  Cover and cook at low heat (350) for 3 or 4 hours or until tender.  About 30 minutes before serving, drain off accumulated juices and put fresh sauce on top of ribs again.  Don't cover and resume cooking to glaze them.  Reserve some sauce to serve with.  If making a lot, I double the sauce recipe.

Emeril's Favorite Potato Salad

I'm not a huge fan of potato salad, but this was very good. I used regular baking potatoes and chopped them into small chunks instead of ''halves.''
Melissa Chandler

14 small boiling potatoes, such as red bliss, about 2 1/2 pounds, scrubbed well 6 slices crisp cooked bacon, crumbled 6 hard-boiled eggs, roughly chopped 1/3 cup finely chopped red onion 1/3 cup finely chopped celery 1 cup ranch dressing 2 tablespoons chopped parsley leaves 1 teaspoon salt 1/2 teaspoon black pepper Directions: Place the potatoes in a medium saucepan and add enough water to cover by 1-inch. Bring to a boil over high heat and cook until the potatoes are just tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain, cool, then cut the potatoes into halves. In a large mixing bowl combine potatoes with all remaining ingredients and gently toss to combine. Refrigerate the salad several hours before serving to allow flavors to blend.
