Barbecued Baby Back Ribs
 If you're looking for a girl to pull up a chair at the poker table, help you work on your car, or go camping in the dirt with, you won't find her in me. I'm not into many things that guys are into. I wear pink, my nails are always polished, and yes, there are many more pillows than necessary on my bed. But, I also don't like clothes shopping very much (food shopping is the exception), I enjoy going to and watching baseball games (go Sox!), and I, like my husband Mark, love a saucy, messy plate of barbecued meat.  You see this deliciousness? This is what happens when Mark and I go to the store for milk and bread. We inevitably forget what we were there for and end up leaving with a rack of ribs, a large bag of brown sugar, and a head full of ideas. Then, we spend the early evening outside, drinking wine, playing cards and grilling those bad boys for dinner!  So, yea, for a moment after I sink my teeth into the manly hunk of meat before me, I do feel like one of the boys. I feel like I can drive a stick-shift truck and smoke a cigar (even though I'd be pretty scared to do either), and go muddin'. But then, Mark, also covered in barbecue sauce, reaches across the table and dabs big globs of red off my forehead and cheeks. Well, maybe I got a little overly excited. But hey, a girl can wear pink and indulge in a rack of ribs, too!  I know you'll absolutely love this recipe - We sure did! The sweet and sticky barbecue sauce was our own creation, and it had just the right amount of kick to compliment the ribs. We had a little help from Real Simple magazine on the oven and grill timing, though. (Here's a link to their great tips for how to cook various types of ribs). The ribs were slow-baked, quickly grilled and came out so juicy and tender, very meaty, and not too fatty, which is usually the case with lean baby back cuts - The meatier, the better! To top it off, they're pretty inexpensive, too. I really hope you try this recipe, even just as a cooking time guideline, the next time you have a barbecue, or if you're just in the mood for some finger-lickin' good food! I guarantee you'll keep going back to this technique, and these ribs, again and again! Barbecued Baby Back Ribs Serves 2-4 (half to 1 pound servings per person) Ingredients 2 lbs. pork baby back ribs for the rub 1/3 cup light brown sugar 1 tbsp. each (paprika, chili powder, cayenne powder, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, freshly ground pepper) for the BBQ sauce 1/2 cup brown sugar 1 tsp. dry mustard 1/4 cup ketchup 1/4 cup soy sauce 1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce1/4 cup onion, minced 2 cloves garlic, minced 1 tbsp. salt 1 tbsp. freshly ground pepper Directions Combine the sugar and spices for the rub in a large bowl. Remove ribs from packaging and pat dry with a paper towel. With your hands, pat the spices all over the ribs and coat generously and evenly. Add to the bowl. Refrigerate and let marinate up to six hours. When ready to cook, preheat oven to 275 degrees. Lay a large piece of aluminum foil on a baking sheet and cover the ribs tightly. Precook for 2 to 2 ½ hours, until the meat easily pulls away from the bone. Heat grill to high heat. Place ribs on grill, brush with barbecue sauce, and cook for five minutes; turn over, brush again, cook five more minutes. Transfer to a plate and brush with barbecue sauce. Enjoy! *TIPS* ? Select baby back ribs that are 2 pounds or less for the most tender, juicy meat. ? Plan on 1-pound servings for two people, or half-pound servings for four people. ? If serving before a meal, cut up ahead of time, arrange on a large plate and serve with barbecue sauce and lots of napkins! ?
