James Beard's salt and pepper spareribs

With so much of our energy channeled toward others during the holiday season—making lists for others, full-contact shopping for others, hosting parties for others—it's no surprise that it can feel impossible to make a simple dinner for ourselves. When we need a break from the 'tis-better-to-give-than-to-receive mantra, we turn to James Beard's recipe for salt and pepper spareribs. It's as elemental as it sounds: grab some spareribs, rain salt and pepper over them, throw them in the oven, and put your feet up.
