      This time I didn’t really use a recipe – just combined some stuff until it tasted good! It was 4 cups of beer (imperial stout), some ketchup, dash of vinegar, worcestershire, chili powder, cumin, garlic, S&P. I seared the meat to get some browning and then deglazed with the sauce. I brought it to boil, then tasted to see if the flavor was on, made some adjustments, and then poured over the shortribs in the crockpot. 8ish hours on low was great.

      At the end I removed the ribs to serving plates, and then poured the liquid into a pot. The ribs release a lot of fat so I skimmed it off the surface (wish I had one of those fat separator guys for this) and then reduced to a syrupy sauce.

    Your son is so adorable!

    I’ve commented on your blog only a couple of times in the past but just want to say how much I love it! I find your meals so inspiring to add more variety into eating, as you mentioned 2 posts ago – not eating the same thing everyday! I love your honest and real approach to eating, how you don’t follow any of these dieting trends/fads. Also I love the fact you eat ‘proper’ bread ha! Anyway, just thought I’d say that and look forward to future posts!

    Dear Kath,

    You have a great blog and I might even like salads now because of your blog! Can you share that pie recipe? I’d like to convert it to a vegan version, since it looks like a cream/pudding version. Thanks!

    The bar hopping looks fun! Was there a special occasion you were celebrating? Where did you go, and would you go again? What were the drinks?

    You look very happy in the photos of you in the black dress. Good for you! : )

    Hi! I am fascinated with the smoked trout you always mention in your posts, but I am scared to try it. Is the consistency like canned tuna? Are any brands better than others? I would love to hear what you think. Thanks!

    • KathEats says

      May 19, 2013 at 12:57 pm

      Yes it’s a lot like tuna – but with almost a less fishy flavor and more smoke. I like it much better than tuna!

    Hi Kath! I was wondering if you could tell us more about this kale salad I keep seeing. 🙂 I tried to make kale . . . once. It was (kind of) a minor disaster. I tried to err on the side of not overcooking (because overcooked veggies are not good eats) but ended up finding it pretty, er, chewy. In an unpleasant way. Is there a special type of kale one uses for salad? It just seems like it would be too tough to eat raw.

    Also, another request/suggestion for a post – I’m really curious how becoming an RD has impacted what/how you eat, especially after your post about variety and weight loss. Also curious if the knowledge you gained from studying for your degree has turned you off of certain foods or if you have any sort of nutritional “black list” – i.e. things that you no longer eat because they pose a risk, or for whatever reason. I know you don’t usually put any food totally “off limits” but I wonder if there are some things you greatly limit or choose not to eat?

      Kale salad is a bit chewy, but you probably didn’t massage it long enough. If you have an acid (like lemon juice) and a salt, it should help to “cook” the kale. Massage for a good 3-5 minutes. I like laticino or curly kale both just fine.

      Hmmm…really my only “rule” about eating is to eat real food 90% of the time. And to only spend my grocery store dollars on real foods (for the most part). So that said, if someone’s grandmother serves me a pie made from Crisco I’m not going to refuse a bite, but hopefully that event doesn’t come around too much. I’ll have a diet soda at my parents’ house a few times a year, but I don’t buy them for my own house. I eat all food groups and have a goal to keep sugar and alcohol to a minimum, but obviously that is hard for me to do : )

    Love the little bowl (of peas?) for Mazen in one photo. My table looks just about the same right now. What food are you feeding him? My little gal is 8 months now and we are doing banana, avocado, peas, carrots, sweet potato and butternut squash – made by me. Also trying some jarred food that I don’t feel like making from home (raspberries, pears, etc.)!
