30: Butter-roasted rice with pork ribs (Page 56, Easy Japanese Cooking)

Just got back from Sydney and already missing home. My mum did most of the work though. I spent the day shopping with Liz, and by the time I got back I had found my mum had already started cooking without me. So really I only supplied the recipe and did the mixing.

I don't really understand the obsession with pork ribs. Give me a good rump steak any day. Eating pork ribs just involves gnawing on bones most of the time. These ribs were salty and sour at the same time. A strange taste I think. It did not taste terrible but it did not wow me either. But it was the first time I "sort of" made something and did not have to eat by myself. I think the consensus was mostly that it was difficult to eat and not terrible but not great. It was edible. Something that you could eat every other day.
