BBQ RIbs

Have you ever heard the saying "A way to a man's heart is through his stomach"?   Well, about 6 years ago I met a guy who I wanted to make a place in his heart so I decided to cook him dinner one night... that romantic dinner for two shortly turned into a dinner for five as my family and his dad joined us this particular night,  I was in the kitchen working on dinner when my then boyfriend came into the kitchen, asked what's for dinner?, and said "well, you know if you cook for me, your never gonna get rid of me?"  and not missing a beat replied, "that's the plan!"

What might you ask was for dinner that night?  BBQ Ribs, homeade mac and cheese, corn on the cob, deviled eggs, and baked beans.

So here is how I make fall of the bone ribs... 
            *Start with a 9x13 pan, Line with tin foil to reduce clean up (aka. Aluminum foil), wash rack of ribs, and cut in half so you can fit in pan. lay ribs in pan
            *Pepper meat and drizzle with vinagar (don't salt cause it causes meat to shrink)
            *Bake in oven for about 4 hours at 250degrees (slow cooking is key)
            *Take out of oven and pour on any BBQ sauce, I personally take the easy way out and buy store bought sauce, but if you make your own, go for it! :) I like KC masterpiece southern style, but anything will work. Cover back up with tin foil and continue baking at 250 for at least another hour.
During the last hour I make the rest of the fixin's for the meal. I always check tenderness before serving, but it is usually falling off the bone. Serve. Enjoy.

If you are wondering how well this meal worked... we have been married now, 4 1/2 years and have a wonderful 2 year old daughter!  But Warning only use this recipe on men, you want to keep around. LOL :)
