Country Style Ribs and Fingerling Potatoes

I was so tempted to title this post Ribs and Fingers! 

I found a recipe for the pork ribs that I had used before but it called for white sugar in addition to the brown sugar. I did not want to use white sugar so I went looking at other recipes and what they use for sauce. I opened the Mark Bittman's How to Cook Everything  - The Basics and his sauce uses cumin, paprika and chili powder. I adjusted the amounts and and Chris loved it. He give dinner 2 thumbs up. My work here is done...

 

Side dishes were sauteed Swiss Chard and Roasted Fingerling Potatoes.
