I finished mowing the lawn. BS'd with my neighbor, he bummed a beer off me (again). Gave my smoker a cleaning with the pressure washer and now I've moved on to beer (Honey Moon). Also cooking 2 hot dogs on the grill for dinner. Goes good with beer.

Right now, cooking up some vermicilli, drinking some root beer schnapps w/7-up over ice, and getting ready for some Pirates of the Caribbean. :D I know, I'm a dork.

Back from dinner,3 outta 5 stars, the POS system was down, no credit cards, the waitrons had to use the old paper order pad, diner style, you could feel the confusion in the restaurant, lol. Started with Sam's Octoberfest at the bar, had a shrimp and scallop app in a cognac cream sauce and a Broccoli rabe, garlic, canalloni beans and sweet sausage dish tossed with some ziti. I make it better. :) Wrapped it up with a shared italian rumcake, double espresso and a mid priced grappa. It was also one of the few times I had enough cash since I took some out for NYC. Who cares that big a wad around anymore? They had an ATM in the lobby but that was tapped out, so a number of folks turned and left. Our server coulda been Joy Bahar from the view.

Procrastinating cleaning up the kitchen by watching the LSU-Auburn game on ESPN right now. After prepping 15lbs or ribs, making 5 quarts of chili and 2 pans of corn bread for tailgating tommorrow at the Patriots/Dolphins, lets just say that the kitchen is currently a wee bit messy :eek: Atleast though my house is filled with the sweet smells of pork ribs and chili now though!

I can't remember the last time I actually bought food in Gillette Stadium, the group of guys I go with ALWAYS brings enough food for about 30 folks and atmost we have 15 of us.

Tommorrow though will have me buying a bunch of water in the stadium. A forcast of 75 and sunny, and my seat being directly in full sun for the whole game = bigtime dehydration, especially after roughly 4 hours of :beer: during tailgating.

How are you prepping the ribs? Membrane off? Dry rub? How will you be cooking them?

I'm going to watch the last two episodes of Doctor Who that have been on my DVR for over a month. Not only do I enjoy the show, it gives me something to talk about with the Brits when I go to Killington. :-D :flag:

The last time I saw a football game was about 4 years ago with my grandfather at Lehigh. The only tailgating I've ever done was when I was skiing...but I'm not much of a Foosball fan..lol...unless Bobby Bouchey is playing..You Can Do It..O.K. back to double fisting champagne and Rolling Rock...good thing my tee time isn't until 10AM..lol..

The membrane was removed about 2PM today. Dry rub, then into the oven at 200 degrees for about 4 hours. Nice crust on them right and it was a challenge to keep them together as I transferred the racks from the pans I cooked them in to the aluminum pans I'm bringing them to game in - nice and fall off the bone tender. Tommorrow, I'll finish them on the grill in a smoker box with some hickory chips and a nice tangy wet St. Louis style sauce. Mmmm, getting hungry right now!

I've found atleast for tailgating purposes, that pre-cooking the ribs with a dry rub and then re-heating + finishing them with a wet sauce at the tailgating fest works well, and lets you and the folks you're cooking for start eating them less than an hour after the car is parked!

I have a video cassette of Six feet under..from a guy at the bar..who was amazed that I work in the death industry and have never watched the show..it's like 6 hours worth of episodes..so maybe I'll watch that later on...
