After a few winter months hibernating, our A New Turn In The South cookbook club decided it was about time to eat together again. Having celebrated this cookbook together over three or four dinner parties so far, we still have some recipes to try. My husband Grant , however, really wanted to make his special smoked ribs so our cookbook party took on a few new turns as he decided to go all rogue. He only makes these a couple times a year but he has this recipe nailed. I don’t think I’ve ever shared it before but with grilling season sneaking up on us, it seemed a good time.

My local library recently advertised a class for making paperclip chandeliers. Sadly it was for 6th graders, but it piqued my interest. I went home and Googled paperclip chandeliers (awesomeness!) and that led me to Lauren Manoogian's paperclip statement necklaces. They were sold at arty shops, and even Anthropologie had a version for $168.
