Meal No. 511: Grilled Country-Style Pork Ribs

Summertime calls for certain kinds of cooking, and sometimes I respond to that call. With a friend from Virginia coming in for Memorial Day weekend, I wanted to (1) work in the yard as much of the day as possible and (2) get a decent summer-type supper on the table. The recipe for a spice rub and grilling country-style pork ribs, that comes from Big Bob Gibson's Bar-B-Q restaurant, was right on. I added to it the barbecue rib sauce from Emeril Lagasse, which is a tangy horseradish-based accompaniment. And I also had another go at mushy eggy potato salad, which was yet again delicious.

This tasty pile of vittles was a great prelude to the first movie night of 2012 (made all the more sweet by the fact that 2011 had NO movie nights at all). The weather was picture-perfect for a small gathering of good friends to take in the classic Marx Brothers film, A Night at the Opera.
