Well, lodo, ya woulda been proud o' ol' Puppy tonite. Made some AWESOME St. Louis-style spare ribs on the grill. Brown sugar & chili powder (plus some other stuff) dry rub. Basting mop of apple juice, a little lemon juice, and soy sauce. Finished 'em off with some bbq sauce at the end -- mmmmm..... OK, so the sides were just some simple stuff -- baked red potatoes, salad, fresh broccoli and some leftover sweet corn from 4th of July. A good bottle of Australian shiraz and now I'm about ready to fire up a good cigar.
