Ribs
I got a few compliments on my ribs from a work event the other day, so here's the secret:
- Purchase Pork Back Ribs, BBQ sauce, and ingredients for rub below.
- Do a search for [rib rub] and pick one that looks good to you. (I prefer ones with brown sugar in the recipe)
- Add other things to the mix that sound good to you, like red pepper flakes and extra cayenne if you want it hotter.
- Rub the spice mix onto the meat, both sides, and refrigerate between 2 and 12 hours.
- Double wrap the meat in aluminum foil (before refrigerating if convenient) meaty side up.
- Preheat Oven to 300 degrees.
- Cook in oven for 3 hours.
- Remove from oven and touch a fork between meat and bone and see if it comes apart pretty easily. If so, next step. If not, put back in for 30 min.
- Preheat grill (gas or charcoal)
- Place ribs on grill, lower heat to medium. 2 minutes on each side.
- Start applying your favorite BBQ sauce.
- Turn and apply BBQ to other side, lower heat for 2 more minutes and you're done.

Old
I turned 29 this week, thus beginning the 30th year of my life. Brigitta took me to a David Cross show a few weeks ago and we ate out at Cascal last night. That's not my excuse for ignoring this blog, though. I haven't been posting because I have been soaking up every moment of free time to watch LOST and play Fantasy Football before this baby comes. I've also been guest blogging on her site since she can't operate a keyboard yet.

Inter Milan vs Club America
Some international club teams are in the US this week playing a series of exhibition games called the World Football Challenge. My graduation present last may from Brigitta was tickets to the Inter Milan vs Club America game at Stanford stadium. We had awesome seats in the ninth row at center field. The match ended in a draw, and Club America prevailed after penalties.
AC Milan and Chelsea are also here in the states somewhere and all four teams will eventually play each other at different venues across the country, so check the website for details.

All American
I had an All American Weekend this 4th of July. Since the US Soccer team blew their lead and lost to Brazil last week, someone had to get this country back on track. We went the Fillmore Jazz Festival in San Francisco, grilled out our own burgers and bbq chicken, and I installed two new toilets in our house. We ended the night of the 4th watching JCVD (not American) and listening to the fireworks at Shoreline Amphitheatre.

The Jazz festival turned into more of a food festival for me, as I'm a sucker for street fair/carnival food. I had a pulled pork sandwich, garlic fries, and some of Brigitta's teriyaki kebab. The only thing I forgot to get was a funnel cake. Here are a few pics...
As for the plumbing work. I won't go into too many details. Let's just say part of the process is sticking a rag into the sewer line so that the raw sewage gases don't escape into the house. I went with the American Standard Cadet 3 if anyone is interested. The enclosed instructions plus a few 'how-to' YouTube videos got me through it rather easily. In the end, both were succesful.

Pulled Pork
I made pulled pork yesterday. I use my father-in-law's recipe, which I'm sure he doesn't mind me sharing with you. However, if you do open a restaurant one day and use this recipe, you should probably let him eat there for free whenever he wants. Anyway, here's what you need:
1 crock pot or slow cooker
3-5 lb pork shoulder (or similar)
1.5 tbs brown sugar
1 tbs salt
1 tsp white pepper
1 tsp black pepper
1 tsp dry ground mustard
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp cayenne pepper
4 tsp paprika
rolls
bbq sauce
Step 1: Mix all of the dry ingredients together in a bowl

1 tsp dry ground mustard
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp cayenne pepper
4 tsp paprika
rolls

Step 1: Mix all of the dry ingredients together in a bowl
Step 2: Unwrap the pork shoulder and apply dry rub.
Step 3: Place in Crock Pot, set to low, and cover. Cooking will take 5-6 hours. Check in every two hours, and increase the temperature to high if the meat doesn't start falling apart at 4 hours.
Step 4: After about 4 hours, the meat should start to fall apart. If your pork shoulder was tied together with twine, cut it off and remove it now. If it is not fully ready, replace the cover and check back each hour. When the meat can easily be pulled apart with two forks, go ahead and pull it.

Step 5: Let it sit and cook in its own juices for another 20 minutes until no liquid remains in the bottom of the Crock Pot. In the meantime, prepare your rolls and bbq sauce (if you like more bbq flavor like I do). When ready, make your sandwiches and serve.
Enjoy!
