Directions for Ribs:

Simmer ribs in boiling water for 15 minutes to release some of the fat.

Put ribs in the Crock-Pot for 2 hours then add all the other ingredients.

Cook for 6 more hours on low heat or 4 hours on high heat.

Check after 4 hours to see how they are cooking. Length can vary.

If they look a little dry, add a little catsup mixed with a little water. They should fall off the bone. Delicious.

Directions for Mashed Potatoes:

Four potatoes boiled with two cloves garlic. Mash with 1/2 cup sour cream, 3 tbs butter, and 1/4 cup milk. Add more milk, if dry. Garnish with chives.
