For a long time country style ribs (sliced pork shoulder) were really
cheap. Then white folks discovered them. Now they often cost more than
pork chops.

BTW, crockpot cooked pulled pork bbq is great stuff.

I love what some refer to as soul food. Like I've stated, my neighbor is
old school black south Ga. He and I get together on weekends and cook.
He makes the BEST ox tail stew on the planet!

Ma's and Dad's yelling "Eat your spinach" isn't an urban legend,
that's for sure. I like spinach except for the canned stuff.
That's what got me yelled at.

I guess I was a weirdo as a kid. Loved spinach. Too much Popeye maybe.
I also always asked my mother to strain the water it was cooked in into a
glass and drank it as well. Put a pat of butter in it, let it melt, stir
and bottom's up.

Do you have impressive bicep muskles?

Never had that. But they must be pretty good if you go by price.

There's a Weber restaurant near where I worked, in Wheeling, IL.
Think they make Webers in Wheeling, or close by.
The restaurant cooks everything on Webers, supposedly.
Never went in the cooking room (Don't feel right calling it a
kitchen.)
But the place does smell like my patio when mine is fired up.
I saw "pulled pork" for the first time on their menu, when a
group of us lunched there.
Made me wonder if the ladies in our group would be embarrassed by
that menu.
I tried to keep a straight face when I nudged the guy next to me and
pointed at that menu item. I think I made a little Beavis/Butthead
snicker. Don't know which one makes that noise.
He didn't get it. Had no idea.
Some people are so juvenile.
Anyway, I've tried it since then at some BBQ joint in Tennessee.
Tell the truth, only BBQ I go after is baby back ribs.
Maybe a sloppy joe now and then, if that counts.

Used to. Now they are starting to slide down to the other side of my arms.

That sounds good. You can keep the chitlins.
My ma is from the Ozarks, so I've plenty of greens and hominy,
and plenty of fried chicken. Only like turnip greens.
Chitlins is way too exotic. Same with head cheese.
Hey, you gotta draw a line somewhere, or you'll turn into a Chinaman.

Speaking of muscles, did you happen to catch HBO's special on Ted
Williams? It was a remarkable look back at one of the greatest of all
times, and difficult to do, considering Williams' reluctance to be a
media performer. Lots of greats from his era making appearances, and
some nice narration by Robert Redford, who wore number 9 in his movie
The Natural to honor Williams.

A .400+ hitter...with no steroids.

I always liked greens of all kinds. Except for canned spinach. And
that's only because once I was coming down with a bug, and I had eaten a
lot of canned spinach. It's not nearly as good the second time!

I like GOOD head cheese. It's only the meat from around the head.
