You do realize Cuchulain Libby (Hound) passed away last year? I'm sure he'd
be glad you enjoyed his ribs.

Hi
With numerous substitutions (budget) I finally made the REAL BBQ Ribs from
the RFC book. They rocked. I knew hubby agreed when he didn't add any
sauce :-)

Thanks Tara
PS IF you care substitutions were
1) I have a propane BBQ so I put it on low with the ribs on the other side,
bone up except for the last 1/2 hour
2) Spices Darn budget! Fresh pepper, cheap chili powder, cheap coriander,
cheap old cinnamon and new but cheap dry jerk rub (We're both allergic to
garlic, a shame since we like it and the good stuff is inexpensive!)
Had grilled corn and steamed fresh broc with them.
Thanks again!

It's a Yiddish term, a transliteration, for a type of living arrangement common
in NY's southern Catskills (borsht belt), where multiple families rent a large
bungalow for the summer season, one with many spearate sleeping quarters but
only one kitchen, whereas a schedual is worked out and agreed upon for each
family to cook for themselves (cuchulain = cook alone)... naturally said
agreements rarely worked out very well... ergo, much bickering and undue
stress... certain particular peoples aren't having a good time unless they
constantly live their lives and make all those around them tumultuous.... many
great recipes emerged, food swapped, as were spouses, much sexual activity
between very young minors, especially amongst siblings... there was no DNA
tests, making it impossble to sort out offspring lineage. Orphanages were rife
with discarded infants, institutions filled to the brim with genuine pinheads,
all discarded like summer puppies. And yoose all thought US southern
hillybillys invented the lifestyle, they merely refined the cuchulain concept -
trailer parks - the double wide! LOL

At least that pronounciation comes close to the spelling. Other
Gaelic names: Siobhan or Eithne (Enya) are too far away to make a
reasonable guess.

rfc's erstwhile occasionaly poster, Siobhan Perricone, explained to me once
(and I may get this wrong), Siobhan is pronounced as "Cha vhan".

Yes, that's who I had in mind. The other one is the singer Eithne who
changed the spelling of her name so people would pronounce it
correctly (Enya).

I asked her once, too, she said it's Sha VHAN ... since then I've
seen characters on tv who have that name and I never knew that's
what they were saying. It certainly is a pretty name.

Don't worry about it, Tara. Some of the regulars here didn't realize it,

But both those names are pronounced according to their *Irish* spelling.
In Ireland I heard Siobhan pronounced 'shi-vawn'.

I don't know about Siobhan, but the singer Eithne says that *th* is
silent even in Irish; that's why "Enya" is the phonetic spelling of
her name.

That's right. It's silent, but changes the 'shape' of the vowel. The
name means 'kernel'(or nucleus and by extension heart).

What happened to the "i"? I'm not familiar with that
singer's name, so when I see Enya, I pronounce it with a
short vowel e... like "enter".

That's how I've heard it. Maybe it should be pronounced "eye-nya."
If so, she should have left the "i" in.

You've probably heard her song "Only Time." It was all over the place
a few years ago. New-agey, melancholy. We took a helicopter ride in
Alaska and that song was playing at the time, so my mother calls it
the "Helicopter Song." She also calls "Time to Say Goodbye" the
"Water Fountain Song" because they used it to accompany the water show
at the Bellagio in Las Vegas when we were there. </rambling>

Probably dropped the 'I' so that people wouldn't pronounce it "Eye-nya".

Here in Co.Mayo, I've also heard Eithne pronounced 'Etna' and 'Ethna'. Enya
(the singer) comes from Donegal, so local pronounciations up there probably
differ. Mayo people pronounce 'Padraic' and 'Padraig' as 'paw-ric', whereas
Dubliners are more likely to say 'pawd-ric', so there is variation even
within the island of Ireland! Siobhan seems to be universally (within
Ireland) shi-vaughn (as in Vaughn Williams). See also Máire (as in Enya's
older sister, Máire Brennan of Clannad fame), Mairead, Aisling, Emer, Síle,
etc! Then there's Deirdre, (deerdra in Ireland, deerdree in the UK)

Much easier to be called...
