On Saturday evening 11/02/13 Sue and I held The Great 2013 Halloween Backgammon Tournament And Adams Broken Ribs Screamer Party! Though a small group, we had a great time! We got back from shopping around 2:00pm and had to get right to getting the food going.

We were fixing Adams Broken Ribs which requires both a herb rub as well as a glaze. They had to be seared in the broiler before they were put in to bake in a 275 degree oven for three and a half hours.

As I was doing all of that, Sue was baking a bunch of Severed Finger Sugar Cookies for desert. Those got done just before I had to bake the ribs, so the timing was perfect! In fact, once the ribs were in the oven baking, Sue and I got a chance to go out in the living room and play a couple of sets of backgammon before Rick and Linda arrived.

Then, the girls decided they had to make up a batch of Cape Codders and got into all that. And, yes, I ended up having a couple as well because the wine just wasn't making it for some reason against the high spiced flavor of the ribs.

We finished off the night with the 1980 classic Jack Nicholson movie, The Shining, which I hadn't seen in quite a few years and was just as good as it could be.
