St. Louis Style Ribs
I smoked two racks of St. Louis style ribs today. We had our good friend Jean and her mom Phyllis (who is also a good friend) as well as Dorothy and her friend Lydia (whom we count as our friend, as well, but Dorothy had her as a friend first). In addition to the ribs, I melted cheddar cheese over some cauliflower and also made a deconstructed salad. That is, I had all the ingredients for a salad and let everyone make their own. That includes a big bowl of greens and smaller bowls with chopped cucumber, halved cherry tomatoes, diced pears, diced onions, and sliced almonds. Finally, I made mashed sweet potato with honey, butter, and cream. We had a really nice time and I think the ribs turned out well for my first attempt. I don’t think they needed the sauce that I added near the end, but no one complained.
