Missing in Action : The Old Stylers Milk Carton
This is the thread where we ask whither missing OSers might have gone.

Individual pork rib cooking ideas please 😊
So we are having pork ribs for dinner (using up from the freezer)- they are a packet with individual ribs- any ideas how to cook them? Ideally slow cook so the meat is tender Most of the recipes seem to be for racks of ribs. We can't have anything with soya in due to allergies. Thank you
