But these really were easy and they came out soooo good. Thanks so much for the recipe and the encouragement!<br /><br />p.s.

Perhaps if you got a French beef chart and a British beef chart and compared them, you could figure out what to ask for anyway. Looking at an American beef chart, I saw that short ribs come from the lower side, an area called the short plate (It was a while ago, I hope I have remembered that correctly!).Jean | DelightfulRepast.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02038772991628796917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7131812739348646014.post-25491293876166244592012-02-25T17:06:28.422-08:002012-02-25T17:06:28.422-08:00Short Ribs you say?

I know people who would tell you they can't afford to buy the food that I typically buy, and yet they spend way more on clothes, for example, than I ever would. My thinking, when it comes to organic food, has long been that I can either pay more for the food now or more for the medical care later!
