Birthday ribs

For our friend E's birthday today (actually, her birthday is tomorrow) we made braised ribs and coleslaw.  It was a feast, plain and simple, but a feast nonetheless.  The more that I make this recipe (and it's typically only a couple of times a year) the more I like it: it's pretty simple, and it is pretty foolproof.
And the ribs (and wings or whatever) just fall off the bone.  Into your mouth.  And make little flavour bursts of joy:-)

Yours, enjoying the ribs,
