Well my wife graduated with her doctorate in pharmacy this past Friday so we had a little celebration after the ceremony at our house. We did ribs and a whole bunch of salads and fruit. I had started a thread a while back about presmoking my ribs the night before reheat them so I didn't have to get up so early on the day of the ceremony. Well I did a 2-2 on the ribs and for the first time I put them in a foil pan covered in tinfoil instead of just putting them individually in tinfoil. It worked great and only had to use one pan instead of several foil packets. On Friday I just threw them on the top rack of my grill on low heat and put a bit of BBQ sauce on them to warm them up and then put them back in the foil in the oven on 175 degrees to keep them warm. They were really tender (almost to much for my liking) but that is what everyone loves around here. I will definitely be using a metal pan for my ribs in the future.
The best part of the whole day was as we were finishing up eating the hospital called and offered my wife the job she has been interviewing for. So we got to celebrate even more. It was a great day and there is a lot of stress lifted now that we know she has a job and we don't have to move out of town. Here is some Qview.
Ribs all rubbed and ready for the smoker. I rubbed and smoked them after work on Thursday night so I didn't let them sit in the rub over night like usual and I couldn't tell a difference at all.
After two hours on the smoker and now getting rubbed with some butter, brown sugar and honey and going into the foil for another two hours. I had the racks cut in half so they would fit easier.
All foiled and ready for the two hour nap.
They are coming off after their two hours and going into the fridge for the night. I was so busy on Saturday getting everything ready that I forgot to take a picture of the ribs when they were finished. I also forgot to take a picture of the corn and chicken I did on the grill.
Everyone raved about the ribs so that made me feel good especially because I wasn't sure how they were going to turn out since I had never smoked them the day before and reheated them the next day.
On Saturday we decided to make brunch on my new Wok so I cooked up some hash browns and some eggs with jimmy deans, onions, mushrooms and garlic.
Here's the jimmy deans and onions.
A shot of my dad and myself.
Adding the eggs.
Close up shot.
Its been a great weekend and to top it off today is my birthday and I am hoping my wife and I are going to go do some panfishing after my family heads out of town. Thanks for looking.
