Making up for lost time

[MileHighSmokerGirl]

It wasn't so long ago I could eat a full rack of ribs and a side all by myself. But at age 43, my metabolism has slowed way down and I can only get a 1/2 rack in with a side.

I now cut my slabs in half and freeze them.

So that's what's on the smoker tonight. Memphis Dust rib rub (sans the thyme, rosemary and brown sugar).

I'll fry some fries with it here in a bit.

Looks good Hannah, I was always an over the top 2 plate kind of guy.
Now I notice a little less on plates , but still go for seconds . But now it hurts , lol

Those were perfect. 4 hours on the button. And just filling enough. I'm not stuffed but I am full.

Thanks for the compliments guys. These hit the spot.

Looking good! I would note that BBQ pork freezes and reheats wonderfully and you could smoke a full rack and then freeze half to have quick BBQ fix later. We often do that and after thawing it we warm it back up in the microwave and toss the heated ribs on the grill for a minute or two on each side.

Looks good!

Looks mighty good! And from the looks of it...You got the right amount of salt on the fries. As I've gotten older my plates have gotten smaller and the craving for salt has gone up.

Salt, fries and BBQ. Three of the major food groups right there.....

Ribs and fries look great! I think we all can agree with not being able to eat as much... kinda takes the fun out of a buffet.

I love little cooks like this. Thanks for sharing. Those ribs look great!

I do a rack and it gets me about 3 meals. Just gotta figure out the sides for the leftovers.

At the risk of a thread derailment did the Ozempic replace another med? I am thinking of asking the endocrinologist about this to replace something I am taking for type 2.

Great colour on the ribs and I'm all in for crispy salty fries

Lol I'm 65 and eat about 3 bones now. Nice looking ribs I'd sure give em a go.

 

[Fueling Around]

Great looking ribs and fries.

Hard to remember what i ate 20 years ago.
Now at 65 I'm in the same boat as Winterrider and Bigtank and a rack is 3-4 meals.

Great looking meal there! Glad to see you posting on SMF again....

I see your problem. You are wasting stomach space on the fries. Less fries, more ribs.
