it isn't Friday night or it is Friday night and you aren't in South Austin.
ARTZ Ribhouse is one of my favorite hangs. There is always live music and a good time is had by all. I usually go on Monday nights when it is kinda like Cheers and everybody knows my name. However, I occasionally go on Friday nights just to get me some garlic soup, since that is the only time Art makes it. (On Mondays we have to make do with the best baby backs it town.)
A couple of years a go, I got a craving for the garlic soup on a Tuesday. I decided to do a web search for some recipes and to my surprise, found the ARTZ recipe posted on several sites. I had me some soup that very night. As a service to all of you who aren't in South Austin on Friday nights, I thought I'd post this version. It tastes authentic but I have never had it served with lemon slices at ARTZ.

Hey Christine, check the produce section of your local gourmetgrocer or get the myers here:http://www.melissas.com/catalog/index.cfm?Info=NO&Product_id=45
lw, you can order ribs from Art and Z at ARTZ. I have heard that they ship them everywhere.
Hey! That soup sounds sooo good. I'll try it some night when the kids are away, since I would probably decapitate them once they started making the gagging sound that they make, no matter what I fix.
Youtube has a little url embed thing on the right side, where you just copy it and paste into your draft. It's right under "About this video"
Thanks for your comments on soapmaking! It's the first time I've ever done it, so I'm glad for advice.
This may not be the best news you've had all day, but you've been tagged.

You're right, Sarah, it is good. I just had a soap disaster. Yuck!
Yea, Kona. I did it as youknow by now.
Let me know how yours turns out,Laurie.
Seinna, Ribs are usually beef or pork ribs that have been barbequed. Baby backs are pork and they are sooo yummy. Meyer lemons are thought to be a cross between a lemon and a mandarin orange or tangerine of some kind. The species originated in China so long ago that no one knows for sure. What is known for sure is that they have a distinct flavor that really brightens up anything you use them in.
