    My ribs drama continues...with Q/view

    I got those ribs at Kroger. The brand was Purnell's, and the they were labeled as "Loin Back Ribs". I thought they would be all right because Purnell's is a very good brand of breakfast sausage and I have actually been in their plant. Boy was I wrong!!! Any ideas on my temperature swing?
