Hi all,

Guessing that I am looking for a needle in a haystack, but here goes anyway.
I lost a recipe shared by Dimitri entitled "East Meets West Ribs"---or
something very similar to that title. It was a unique marinade for beef
ribs, and the results were delicious. If the recipe is floating in
cyberspace, I would sure like to get it back!
Cheers,
Jeff

Hi Stan,

Although I've visited rec.food.cooking a few times over the years, I've yet
to be involved enough, to know all of the ins and outs.
I did go to the google site you recommended, and I even found that I could
go to rec.food.cooking
But I still don't know how to find that recipe I've lost. Bye the way, I
joined rec.food.cooking via my outlook express. Is this the optimal way to
join a newsgroup?
Thanks for responding to my original post

Beware - you are about to be slammed for using Outlook Express as a
newsreader!

Is this the missing recipe? I found this recipe in a post from Dimitri
8-16-02, by searching google groups for the words east west ribs in the group
rec.food.cooking.

Ginger-Orange Barbecued Beef Back Ribs
East meets west in this Oriental BBQ.

Refrigerate: Overnight--Cook: 1 hour--Servings: Serves 8
6 lbs. beef back ribs
1 cup orange juice
1/3 cup lemon juice
1/3 cup honey
2 Tbsp. soy sauce 1 Tbsp. fresh ginger, peeled and grated
1 Tbsp. garlic, peeled and minced
2 tsp. lemon zest, grated
1 tsp. salt
-- hot chili oil to taste

Trim excess fat from back ribs. Combine all other ingredients. Mix well and
pour over ribs. Cover and marinate in refrigerator overnight but no longer
than 24 hours.
Preheat oven to 425°F.

Remove ribs from marinade. Reserve marinade in a
saucepan. Place ribs on a rack over a pan of hot water in oven.
Roast 1 hour, turning once halfway through the cooking until browned and
crisp.

Reduce marinade to a glaze-like consistency
(about 1-1/2 cups). Reduce oven heat to 375°F. Brush ribs with glaze,
roast 15 minutes, turn, brush with glaze and roast 15 minutes more.

Jeff, be sure to click on the link that BOB gave you. It will take you
right to the information you want. I clicked on the first message under
"View entire thread" and the recipe appears.

Dora

Wow Pat, are you a lifesaver, or what? Indeed this is the recipe. Thank
you so much. Originally when Dimitri sent me this recipe, I made it
following the directions exactly, and an inexpensive rib dinner came out as
delicious, as if I'd purchased expensive dry aged prime new york steaks!
The ribs were melt in the mouth delicious, and crispy at the edges. I made
it again a few months later, and for some reason, this time the ribs turned
out dry and almost burnt at the edges. I've not made beef ribs often, and
now I know that they can vary in fat to lean ratio, thereby producing
different results when cooked. Nonetheless I am anxious to try Dimitri's
recipe again, because they were perfect on my first attempt. Thank you
again for finding that recipe.
Jeff

Hi Jill,

Thanks for your reply. Now I have to ask you to help this computer geek out
of the "outlook express rut" I've fallen into. I thought that it was the
only way to join a newsgroup. I really want to become involved with rfc, and
if you give me a nudge, I would like to do it the right way. Any tips on
the right way to join a newsgroup would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Jeff

This is where you go. Get Agent, the best newsreader around. There
is a free version, or was. But it pays to spring for the full
version.

If you're here, and reading and posting, then you've joined.

OE is an acceptable newsreader to use, it's just that many people believe that
"their" way is the only way.

Hope this helps,

I should have told you, I also use Outlook Express! But there are tons of
newsreaders which come up in discussion here from time to time and most
everyone seems to hate Outlook. I use it simply because it's my email
client and I don't like being bothered by multiple programs when one can
perform the same functions. Here's a suggestion, however. Download O.E.
Quotefix - it will adjust your quoted text for you.

http://home.in.tum.de/~jain/software/oe-quotefix/

Oh, that's another thing I need to mention... quoting relevant text when
replying to a post. It helps people have some idea of what you are talking
about when you reply to posts.

The next thing you'll hear about, from someone, is how top-posting replies
is a bad thing. It can be, if a post is extremely long, because we read a
reply before having any clue what portion of a post you are responding to.
I, for one, prefer bottom or middle posting. Snipping irrelevant text is
also my preference, although sometimes I forget to do so.

Any other questions, just let me know. Oh, and there is an FAQ for
rec.food.cooking:

Thank you Bob, Stan, Jill, Pat, and Dora.----I think that Google will
be my preferred method of accessing newsgroups. You all helped me
with finding the recipe I was searching for, and also a couple of the
particulars regarding newsgroups. Thanks again, and who
knows---perhaps I can return the favor!
Best wishes,
Jeff

This is a public newsgroup, so joining is the easy part ---
you're official the moment you post.

Leaving is the hard part. heheheheh.

I, for one, can't wait until they perfect email like a transporter (a la
Star Trek): Does this sauce need some salt? <ZAP> No, but you might try
adding a little more pepper )

Hi Jeff! I use OE and find it very satisfactory. Much easier than google
unless you need so search for something.

Charlie, still hoping to see you in June!

I like xnews...ctrl-d takes you to google and the rest is totaly adjustable
to the most common options you'd prefer. And the big plus is that it is
free. I used to use OE a long time ago, back in the Win 95-98 days.

Prior to that I used MR ICE a OS2 e-mail and newsreader client. But that
was before DSL.

You're welcome. I'm glad that was the one you were looking for. I hate it
when I lose recipes!

Allow me to horn in here - do give Free Agent a try. It's, uh, free:

http://www.forteinc.com/main/homepage.php

If you like the free version, you'll really like the commercial
version which includes such niceities as killfiles. Very slick, very
easy to use and very easy to configure. I've used commercial Agent for
years and love it.

I have had the commercial version for a few years now. I dislike it very
much. Might be fine for some folks, but I'll take the simplicity of OE.
YMMV.
