Happy Columbus Day - make sure you serve some robust red wine in water
glasses, and maybe use white/cannellini beans.

Here's a recipe from a local paper that might well appeal to Italians:

1 can garbanzos, very well rinsed

Drizzle with olive oil and season with garlic, s & p, and whatever else you
like (some chili powder, maybe)

Roast on a sheet pan in a single layer at 400° for 10 minutes, turn, and
roast 10 more minutes.

Got some real Eye-talian in-laws coming this week and am planning to cook
up
some chix 'n ribs with Louis' garlic/paprika cole slaw and beans as a side
..

Damn shame they're older and don't eat that much, not near as much fun.
Too
bad there'll be leftovers. :-)

Anyway, anyone have an idea how to improve this simple menu? (simple is a
good thing) Looking for traditional all-american stuff, and would probably
rather substitute than add to the menu.

Does it get better than beans and slaw with ribs?

TIA

Crush up some whole sweet anise and put a pinch or two in the rub... I use
it all the time... a nice Itallian kick that many enjoy.

Eh , not cooking Italian, I'm cooking for Italians.

Sonorandude, thanks for the idea, like the concept.

BOB, we read from the same cookbook brother. I used to think you guys were
full of shit when someone would say "sauce is for mistakes". Well I finally
am making ribs where I can claim that's true. Course, that dont stop the
wife from guzzling sauce like I do beer. So it takes all types. Leastwise
this way we're both happy.

Going out right now to get it fired up.

Dale,
I think you are doing the right thing. When I travel, I don't want to eat
American food, I want to eat what is native to that country.

Maybe a little cornbread on the side?
