Ribbed for extra deliciousness

Back again! I made some fantastic pork ribs tonight. These had to be shared!

Ive never prepared ribs myself but, have seen snippets of family members and the like cook them. I had heard this past summer from a coworker that you should always boil the ribs first then bake/BBQ them. This coworker also mentioned that the most important part is to boil them with some Dr Pepper or Coke. Kind of a weird idea. I decided to go with it anyways! Here is the meat..all $7 odd dollars worth of it. Thank Zeus for sale meat!

 They look alright.. i was expecting more fat for pork.

 Washed the excess blood off them and tossed them in a pot.

 Huy came in to drink/help with the ordeal.

 May as well add the full can.

 Filled the rest with water and turned the heat up!

 Getting warmer..

 Warmer..

 Now we are getting somewhere! looks disgusting: a sign that the dr.pepper must be working it's magic.

 Flipped the meat around and splashed the shit out of my hand. Fml

 Not sure how long to leave it in here. Went with an hour.

 Time to get saucy! I started with some Tropicana, maple syrup, and pepper.

 This my platoon of ingredients. I can never make the same sauce twice as the fridge is always changing inventory. I found some dijon, General Tao, Franks Original, Sweet and Tangy (whatever the hell that is), Oyster sauce, Ketchup (the key ingredient in any sauce!), Hoisin sauce, Lime syrup, brown sugar, and Red pepper and tomato soup (for reals).

 I added more things: Sriracha sauce (as if I would not add this), soya sauce, thyme, flour (it was too thin at first), and something else which escapes my mind right now. Very delicious.

 Covered the meat and put them in the oven with aluminum foil covering. 325C for an 1 & 1/2 hours

 Christmas morning.

 Fall off the bone tender and the perfect sauce to accompany.

 Rib porn.

 My only regret is not making more.

Holy shit. These are life changing. Well, not really but, they're definitely a step in the right direction! Time wise these are really easy as 90% of the time you are waiting for them to boil/bake. Not much else to add as the pictures show how mouth-watering they were. Cannot wait to pull these out in class and see the look on the faces around me (life is about making others jealous about what you have cooked..sharing too i guess)
More music as I find a few new songs every day:

This is a remix of an old song by Radiohead: Everything in its right place. The original is amazing but this adds just a little more 'je ne sais quoi', ya know?
