  1. So I asked D what she wanted for Easter Dinner, and she said "Ribs are
    always a treat." And you know, she's right.

    http://i11.tinypic.com/2is9rhd.jpg

    I made a quick marinade from some frozen basil I had left from last
    year, some fish sauce, a serrano chile, some black pepper corns, some
    demerara sugar, fresh ginger, and half a lime -- all buzzed up in the
    blender. While the pig bones soaked in a Dr. Seuss-like green juice
    bath, I prepared the pit and lit a pecan wood fire. Got it hot. Very
    hot. The thermometer on the pit read 400 F. Hot. After a few
    moments at that heat when all the carbon-based life in the cooking
    chamber was toasted golden brown and delicious, I leveled it off to a
    tropical 225 F and set the rack inside to bask in wood and charcoal
    smoke. I gave them about five hours, give or take a few minutes.

    The sauce was a citrus/ginger/cinnamon/red chiles concoction of my own
    devising. Also on the plate are green beans with caramelized onions
    and bacon in a sherry and soy sauce reduction and a cole slaw with
    garlic and capers.

    I have 25 ancho chiles out in the pit right now, taking advantage of a
    waning charcoal fire to soak up some smoke for future use.

    I don't believe you cooked them all those hours, those ribs are so raw
    on the inside I bet when you bite em they oink.

    I think that is called a smoke ring, which is pinkish, and can be
    confused with being underdone. At least that is my understanding of
    all the reading I have done about smoking/bbqing. And that is
    getting even more extensive by the day...

    It's a smoke ring. When you expose meat to smoke for a long time, the
    outside turns pink. When ribs are smoked long enough, they turn pink
    deeper inside the meat like in my picture. It's a barbecue basic,
    dummy. You really don't know much about this topic, do you? Of
    course ignorance hasn't stopped you from saying stupid [censored] before.

    I've cooked enough ribs, and many different ways, to know those are
    raw... not underdone, they're raw. And it's not just color, it's how
    the texture appears when sliced through... but even you admit to
    seeing that pinkish color... you can put up all the mirrors and blow
    all smoke rings you want, that's the color of raw pork. And ribs can
    be cooked until they're not pink and be undercooked because unless the
    meat is pretty much falling off the bone tender they're not fully
    cooked. But those ribs are definitely raw... musta been like chewing
    rubberbands. Pork loin/pork tenderloin can be cooked pink (although I
    don't like it) but not any other cut of pork, especially not ribs...
    rare pork ribs are about as tender as rare beef brisket.

    Only saving grace is that pink means at least they weren't boiled, so
    they can still be saved with braising.

    There is no pink on the outside, they're pink all through to the
    center, right to the bone... whould never know if not for how you cut
    and presented them on their sides, cut face up... that's not how to
    present ribs... ribs are cut and presented as though never cut, like
    still a rack, not with their friggin' guts hangin' out... you maybe
    presented them that way in an attempt to hide that they're burned. In
    fact the outside is burned, whatever glaze you used carborized from
    excessive heat early on... so any smoking you attmpted was wasted on
    burned ribs. And I know how a smoke ring looks that's definitely not
    it. Those ribs are burned on the outside and raw on the inside...
    they could not have been more poorly cooked.

    They don't produce smoke rings like real barbecue does. ;-)

    Are you really 100% sure of that?

    I confess to being a bit more bold on the 'net... but I'm still "me" for
    the most part. :-) My opinions etc. don't change.

    I have actually met a few people in person that are locals. It's fun!

    Ribs don't have guts.

    Yours do, no one serves ribs with their insides exposed, but yours
    were severly burned on the exterior so in your typical smarmy manner
    you attempeted to hide that little fact... but didn't acomlish much
    because the interior is raw.

    Quoted message said:

    I explained the cooking technique,

    Wasn't necessary, a picture is worth a thousand words, and yours
    belied everything you claimed. And still once again, you've proven
    that you have no artistic ability, none whatsoever... I was being nice
    in not mentioning your disgusting plating technique... you couldn't
    make the appearance more unpalatable had you spent your entire life
    working at it, in fact you did.

    And this goes for everyone, if you post pictures be prepared for
    comments of all types, not everyone is going to comment dishonestly
    because they haven't the backbone to say what they really think. If
    someone did a good job I've said so, if someone does a poor job I say
    so too, when someone appreciates constructive criticism I respect
    them. When someone doesn't receive constructive criticism well I let
    them know, and when they lie about what they've done I certainly will
    let them know and in no uncertain terms. And no one posts pictures
    because they weren't begging for a critique, someone would need to be
    brain dead to think otherwise. Modom, just because you are a big liar
    from texas don't think everyone will swear to your lies, it's usually
    just the texans and southern rednecks who give each other the touchy-
    feely comments. And I expect you to lie, it's how you live your life,
    for as long as I've read your posts you've wrote nothing but lies in
    each and every one, in fact you only post when you have something to
    lie about, otherwise you contribute nothing.

    Yep the fire was HOT and the sugar burned. If you liked 'em .. good. Char
    doesn't taste good to me. It is interesting that some think burned to a
    crisp is BBQ. I have never seen ribs like that at a good BBQ joint. The
    customers would only eat there once. I am trying to say this nicely. lol
