Zomby's Grill Today: Babyback Ribs, smoked with hickory!

[Zomby Woof]

Come on over to Zomby's today, and get your babyback ribs fresh from a smokin' Weber kettle grill.

Marinaded overnight in extra virgin olive oil, worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, crushed garlic, parsley, pepper, dry mustard, and balsamic vinegar...

My homemade sauce is a guarded secret, but will contain Jack Daniel's and an habanero. It will also be smoked in a sauce pot on the covered grill.

Cole slaw and potato salad served up too! Come and get it. :P

1. How can anything

be more than a virgin?

[Catshrink]

2. I'm on my way to Flag....

Full Sail up I-17.

[Zomby Woof]

26. hmmmm

How do I know you won't "run out of beer" before you even leave? ;-)

[blondeatlast]

48. Dammit, CS; I'm an easy 101 detour--why didn't you tell me?

Hell, I can do some serious zooming in my soccer mom Camry!

Edit: Besides, you OWE me...!

:hi:

[Catshrink]

56. I owe you big time....

Maybe when we go up for the May gathering....

(PS -- I was joking. I've been grading papers all freaking day!)

[blondeatlast]

60. Then you have my sympathies--I'm an ex-8th grade teacher! nt

[Rabrrrrrr]

3. I hope you're gonna boil them first: you know, the MATCOM way!

:evilgrin:

[Zomby Woof]

5. nope

They will be smoked and grilled over a drip pan of water. This process has proven enormously successful for keeping the meat melt-in-your-mouth moist and tasty.

You're not trying to start a barbecue "flame" war now, are ya? :evilgrin:

[Rabrrrrrr]

6. No, I would never try to start a flame war!

It's just that some people don't understand how to make BBQ. Drip pans of water are for idiots. A real barbeque - which you would know if you were from (choose some state you aren't in) where they make smoked ribs the RIGHT way and properly use not a drip pan, but a coffee can filled with apple vinegar that sits on the coals for a half hour BEFORE you put the ribs in.

Freak.

(Hey, as an aside, I woke up this morning with "I want a nun. I want a nun. I want a burro!" running through my head)

[Zomby Woof]

7. BBQ flame wars are some of the worst

I am only extending a dinner invitation. If people don't like the way I do mine... :nuke: :D

Seriously though, the great thing about BBQ is that there is NO single right way. How limited is that? We're liberals, not fascists. I think. BBQ nazis!!

Sing along with me... "Zom-beeeee's babyback ribs! Zomby's babyback ribs! (I want my babybackbabyback....)" :evilgrin:

[Rabrrrrrr]

10. It's amazing the things people flame war over

especially with stuff as unimportant as food cooking styles: whether to boil or not to boil ribs (of course one shouldn't, not good for the meat), or "proper" New England Clam Chowder, or "proper" chili...

sheesh.

Like that famous jazz guy says, who Peter Schickele always mentions on his show, and I retranslate, "If it tastes good, it is good"

[ScreamingMeemie]

11. That's because I'm right and they're wrong.

;)

[Rabrrrrrr]

12. Well, I trust you, you're from the right state

It's these idiots from other states that I can't trust to make food properly.

[ScreamingMeemie]

13. Exactly! It's why I get my cheese shipped in.

;)

On a side note: I am saving up because I so would love to have one of your paintings. A work of art from a fellow statesman. One of these days you'll get a Grumpy order.

P.S. Damned I'm doing my best to hijack Zomby's thread. I'm on painkillers so I can't be held accountable.

[Zomby Woof]

21. you can't hijack a hijacker!!!

:P

Besides, matcom is posting too, so that's two threadjacking assholes you're competing with! :D

[Rabrrrrrr]

35. Oh, yeah, Michigan cheese so TOTALLY sucks!

I don't blame you for bringing it in from elsewhere. I was appalled when I lived there how impossible it was to get good cheese.

And while I'm sure there are some fine artisinal cheesemakers there, for themost part Michiganders have no clue how cheese is to be made.

California doesn't either, except for the more expensive artisnal ones.

And to let you know - I offer timed payments on the artwork so you could have an original for as little as $50 a month. PlUS, you don't have to wait until you've paid for the whole thing: I'll ship when you've paid for half.

Much easier to do it that way than to keep waiting until you have the full amount, I think.

[ScreamingMeemie]

8. That's how I do it too!

:hi:

[IronLionZion]

4. Damn you Zomby!

now my mouth is watering and I have that hungry look in my eyes

[Zomby Woof]

23. don't short out your keyboard!

:D

[ScreamingMeemie]

9. I'll bring dessert!!!

:hi:

[Zomby Woof]

15. woohoo!

That must be what they meant on my bucket of ice cream the other day that said "Just like grandma used to make!" ;-)

[ScreamingMeemie]

16. That's right, I never make ice cream anymore.

I'll bring Strawberry Shortcake. :hi:

[Zomby Woof]

19. mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

You are my friend forever! :loveya:

[ScreamingMeemie]

20. I was going to bring Jello...but for some reason I ran out.

:) :loveya:

[Zomby Woof]

22. lol!

Damn squirrels! :bounce:

[matcom]

14. I'LL KILL YOU IF YOU BOILED THEM ASSHOLE!!

:D

[Zomby Woof]

17. HELL NO!!!!

They are marinading - which is optional, but I like to experiment - but I would NEVER BOIL THEM. I swear on GOPisEvil's hat!!! :D

[matcom]

24. ok. you shall then be spared

but i'm still not sure about David's hat :D

[Zomby Woof]

27. if you boiled David's hat

Millions of microbes would become homeless. As liberals, we can't let that happen. :D

[ScreamingMeemie]

29. Plus, they would lose their flavor.

;)

[fortyfeetunder]

37. and boiled meat doesn' t marinate well.

[shanti]

63. you don't need to marinate boiled ribs

if you season the water...that's the secret;-)

[Nikia]

18. Sounds good

Is that later on? Iam eating my chunky baked potato soup right now. I like ribs but never made them myself.

[Zomby Woof]

25. later this PM

Take your time, plenty more where they came from!

[blondeatlast]

28. Not to mention the scent of rain/snow freshened pine!

I am so WISHING I was ther. What's the weather like up there?

[Zomby Woof]

31. still cold and grey!

We had hail and snow showers yesterday, and Elden Mountain (right across the street) has fresh snow. Nothing stuck to the ground down here.

It's 38 and cloudy right now, may hit low 40's later. :hi:

[buddhamama]
