Ribs

I got a few compliments on my ribs from a work event the other day, so here's the secret:

1. Purchase Pork Back Ribs, BBQ sauce, and ingredients for rub below.
   
2. Do a search for [rib rub] and pick one that looks good to you. (I prefer ones with brown sugar in the recipe)
3. Add other things to the mix that sound good to you, like red pepper flakes and extra cayenne if you want it hotter.
4. Rub the spice mix onto the meat, both sides, and refrigerate between 2 and 12 hours.
5. Double wrap the meat in aluminum foil (before refrigerating if convenient) meaty side up.
   
6. Preheat Oven to 300 degrees.
7. Cook in oven for 3 hours.
8. Remove from oven and touch a fork between meat and bone and see if it comes apart pretty easily. If so, next step. If not, put back in for 30 min.
   
9. Preheat grill (gas or charcoal)
10. Place ribs on grill, lower heat to medium. 2 minutes on each side.
    
11. Start applying your favorite BBQ sauce.
12. Turn and apply BBQ to other side, lower heat for 2 more minutes and you're done.
    

Old

I turned 29 this week, thus beginning the 30th year of my life. Brigitta took me to a David Cross show a few weeks ago and we ate out at Cascal last night. That's not my excuse for ignoring this blog, though. I haven't been posting because I have been soaking up every moment of free time to watch LOST and play Fantasy Football before this baby comes. I've also been guest blogging on her site since she can't operate a keyboard yet.
