Barbequed Lamb Riblets
I just bought a lamb this past week and have a freezer full of my favorite meat. This is a cut you might not find in the store, but there are several local sheep ranchers that might have it. There is at least one grocer in town that carries U.S. lamb. I am an advocate of supporting our U.S. farmer. I hope you enjoy this recipe. It is one of my favorites, though it is a fatty one, but you can drain most of the fat away.

XC runners qualify for state
“Does it ever not rain at cross country meets? Because literally every meet I’ve ever been to it has rained,” said first year runner Brady Bateman to his coaches at the Idaho 3A District I Championshipwmeet. Indeed the rain came down hard all day long as Bonners Ferry, Coeur d’Alene Charter, Kellogg, Priest River, and Timberlake vied for the top team scores to qualify for the 3A State Championships. The meet was hosted by Priest River High School on a course the Badgers ran on in late September. Familiarity with the 5k course, however, was hindered by slick conditions and deep mud puddles. The phrase “true cross country race” was heard around the meet at various points.

Americans must speak out strongly today to preserve and defend our Constitution and the system of limited government and freedom.
