I celebrated by mowing the lawn. Too many drunks on the waterways and
highways for my taste on these holidays. We might wander off to a local
fireworks display tonight, though. I wouldn't go anywhere near the DC
Mall for the big show. Crowds, bad parking, slow Metros, no toilets that
I would use and, of course, the odd chance some right-wing religious
extremist might set off a car bomb.

But thanks for your good wishes!

I'm making spareribs so good that if I told you any more, you'd kill
yourself.

Thank you.

Just kind of sitting around for a second day in a row. I messed my
back up again Tuesday afternoon and was awful for all of yesterday.
It's better now. Just relax the rest of the afternoon before I try
anything stupid like power wash the deck or replace the porch deck on
one of our rental houses tomorrow.

With the wife away in Philapheldia for the NEA convention and not due
back until Saturday night, no sense in going anywhere. Besides, it's
supposed to rain tonight. Just tuck in with a salad, some cheese and
crackers, a cold six pack of Diet Pepsi and a good cigar for after.

Besides, the Mythbusters marathon is on all day today - always good
for some laughs.

yourself.

My neighbor makes spare ribs like that. He gets fresh ribs from
Schneider's up in Southbridge (like almost just off the cow fresh),
doe ssome miracle magic thing marinade with dill and "secret"
ingredients (he won't tell anybody - his wife told me she doesn't know
what's in it - he makes it outside the house in his wood shed), then
soaks them for a while, does some other magic thing and then cooks
them over a hickory charcoal grill - not gas.

I don't eat a lot of meat, but I do like those ribs.

Have you ever tried smoking spareribs?

As a matter of fact, no.

Full uppers and lowers. :)

I'm trying to quit.

{drum crash!}

Actually, I'm doing something close. I'm using just two handfuls of
charcoal, placed in a small foil pan, way off to the side of the grill, so
it's nowhere near the ribs. I'm tossing a few moist mesquite chips onto the
coals every 15 minutes or so, and 3-4 new coals when the temp starts to dip
below 275. The thermometer's on the opposite side near the ribs. Takes about
4 hours. Got the rifle by the door, in case anyone gets any ideas.

The dry spice rub came directly from Joy of Cooking, by the way. That was
applied last night. There's a similar one in Paul Prudhomme's cajun
cookbook, but it's too spicy for most mortals. I save that one for my son
and I.

Ah - Paul Prudhomme. Almost completely decimated the channel
bass/redfish ecology with "blackened" redfish.

That's true by the way.

Someday when we get together for lunch or dinner, remind me to tell
you a story about Paul Prudhomme.

It's funny. And it can't be told by email either. There are visual
elements to it.
