Ribs!

We had a big cooking around here yesterday for Mother's Day, and when it was over, I put the food up.  My second son had brought a rack of ribs over, and somehow they got overlooked, (what with the steaks, brisket, hamburgers and hot dogs).  So, yesterday afternoon after everyone had left, I put up the leftovers.

Today I came home and noticed that rack of ribs in the fridge, so I slid them into an oven to warm, and we ate them with leftover baked beans and 'tater salad.  Oh, my Gawd!

Best damned ribs I ever put my lips around.  Tender, juicy, not overly seasoned, but spicy.  They fell off the bone, absolutely a masterpiece rendition of  Birmingham-style ribs.  Oh, yeah, you better have a roll of paper towels ready, because you're going to need them.  Juicy, saucy, fall-off-the-bone style ribs.

I've never been able to cook ribs, but my son nailed it.  Well, done, Tiger.

A good dry rub, slow cooking with low heat, and sauce it 20 minutes before you take em off.
