"I finally tried to measure as best as I could the ingredients to make my sauce. This recipe makes a lot because I make it for OAMC and freeze in smaller portions. The key to this recipe is to make sure you cook it long and slow and until the spareribs are tender and falling off the bone, about 6 hours. I got this recipe from an old Italian woman aout 30 years ago whose name I don't remember."

I live in Southern Maine The Way Life Should Be with my husband of 30 years, 2 teenage kids and my dog a 130 pound Rottweiler lap dog! During the summer we stay across the street from Wells Beach in our small Maine Cottage and the rest of the year in our house in Lyman which is about 1/2 hour from President Bush's compound at Walkers Point in Kennebunkport. I have a great sense of humor and love to laugh. I love to cook. My pet peeve is people who have no manners; like saying please and thank you, etc. etc. and salespeople who chew gum! <img src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/untitled.jpg border=0 alt=Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting> <img src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/adoptedspring08.jpg> <a href=http://www.maploco.com/view.php?id=2784515><img border=0 src=http://www.maploco.com/vmap/2784515.png alt=Visitor Map></a><a href=http://www.maploco.com/>Create your own visitor map!</a> <img src=http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/gg271/MrsTeny/Permanent%20Collection/PACSpring09Participation.jpg> <img src=http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/gg271/MrsTeny/Permanent%20Collection/PACSpring09Iwasadopted.jpg>
