RIB ROY

We first met Roy and Kalani the dog, four years ago whilst visiting Allan and Sue in Washington DC, when we had a brilliant meal of the best ribs ever, with Roy barbecuing outside in well below freezing.  For ever after, he has been known to us as Rib Roy - can't think why.  He then moved and earlier this year invited us all over to his new house in Utah and organised our train trip in Durango, as part of our joint ten days together.  So, on our last night we had a repeat treat of ribs and more of his excellent wine from his excellent wine cellar.

Ribs 

These are some piccies of the preparation of the five star ribs.  Tried to do a collage but Mr. Google has his own ideas on the sort, whereas I took photos in chronological order but he muddled them all up.  So storyline below starting with the spice mix and finishing with the chewed remains!!!

And if you want a go yourself, the recipe is below.  Might want to reduce the fiery bits for a milder hit!   Make a quantity and freeze in portions.  See here
Enjoy.

House

Roy moved to Park City last year to his own designed house.  A marvel of electronic wizardry, verandas with mountain views, hot tub with fountains, gorgeous floors and finishes and the ultimate wine cellar.  In the photos, Graham is pondering which bottle to sample next!!

A beautiful home and we are so grateful to Roy for sharing it all with us - must have been a shock to the system to go from one man and his dog to 5 of us and Kalani.

Kalani

Kalani is Roy's long suffering dog during our days in National Parks, where she wasn't allowed.  But she was forever even tempered and up for a cuddle and some ball play.

She was a bit less stressed back home

You're going to make a great therapy dog going with Roy into care homes and helping sick people.  For more info on therapy dogs See here

Thanks again to both of you for your companionship.
