Happy New Year 2012! This is our traditional meal for New Year's Day for my family and my husband's family too. Sometimes it is a pork roast in the crockpot and other times it's country style ribs like these. I look forward to this meal as my husband doesn't like kraut so I really relish it when I can get it. My Dad made barbecue ribs separately for my husband. (He is so spoiled.) haha Now, I have another "Ancient Debelak Recipe" at least that's what my Dad calls all his recipes. LOL
