Leo working on ribs 5-3-14

I made baby back ribs for my carnivores yesterday.

They picked and licked all the meaty pork bones clean while I enjoyed a tasty salad with strawberries and almonds.

Different strokes for different folks, I guess.

Either way, it's always a good thing when there are no leftovers after a meal. When they eat every last scrap, that means they liked it.

I take a clean plate as the highest culinary praise.

There were no leftovers.
