Braised Pork Ribs

Woo! This time of year brings the crock pot front and center in my life since it lends itself well to getting me fed when I have no time to cook, and also because it usually results in yummy soups, braised foods, and stuff like that. This recipe was born out of a need to feed myself, DH, DD and my Old English partner as we finalized our translation of Judith .

Hope you enjoy! 2 pounds boneless pork ribs 1-2 cups each: carrots cut into 1" pieces, celery cut into 1" pieces, chopped red onion 1 8-ounce can tomato sauce 8 ounces water or beer (I used water; beer is for bread) 1 tablespoon each: parsley, thyme,
