| We liked this soup, but I felt that the tomato puree kind of overpowered the beef broth flavor that I like in this type of soup. Also, I would double the amount of barley. Other than that, it's a good recipe that I would make again. |
| I blogged this recipe a while ago, and think it's time to make them again. Here are my tasting notes:
My son said these were the best ribs ever! My husband was slower to respond. Undoubtedly, he was comparing them to the ribs he's learned to grill well. I do agree that the ribs were very tender. His verdict is that they are very tender, and almost smoky. I liked that there was a slight stickiness to the outside of the ribs, and a slightly charred taste from the broiler. There is nothing like slow-cooked ribs, over wood chips and a Weber grill. However, I will say that after a rough day at work today-- I'm beginning to see how slow cookers can be my new best kitchen helper. I give America's Test Kitchen kudos, for this recipe. Broiling the ribs is key. Otherwise, these would just be braised meat, and not barbecue.

| Not bad, but nothing earth shattering. I blogged this recipe and here are my tasting notes:
I decreased the chipotle from 1 teaspoon to 1/2 teaspoon (I'm whimpy about heat). The chili has a tangy flavor from the tomatoes, with light notes of citrus from the lime zest and juice. This is very different than a traditional beef-style chili, but it's a nice change. It tastes "healthy". I don't know what to say if you have children to feed-- there isn't a lot of tequila, but I'm not going to risk Child Protective Services from paying you a visit. If you leave out the tequila, I'm sure that the chili will taste fine-- or, you could skip adding more tequila before serving. The first two tablespoons, added at the beginning, would have long cooked out any alcohol. Your choice.
