Well that's just downright SAD!! {{{Eva}}} [NT] - cheezz - 5:04pm on 05/23/13
Ditto here Eva. I have't had a BD cake in 25 years. At this point, candles would outweight the cake. [NT] - MarilynFL - 6:11pm on 05/23/13

M-we'll get you a cake with one very thin and slender candle in the middle. BG. [NT] - charlie - 10:08pm on 05/23/13

First thing I thought of too. Copied anyway. [NT] - CynUpstateNY - 7:36pm on 05/23/13

We don't have smoked pepper or smoked sugar here, but someone once gave me a glass of smoked salt. - EvaN - 11:09pm on 05/24/13

Anythng you would like a little smokey flavor on, perhaps on chicken - Heather_in_SF - 11:31pm on 05/24/13
Is it a hickory, applewood, or alderwood? Or is it a Chardonnay smoked salt? The smoked wood salts - FloriSandy - 1:23am on 05/25/13

I don't know, I kind of like it. Yes, it has A LOT of swearing, - Dawn_MO - 11:03pm on 05/24/13

I see no point to the swearing, (have you watched any R rated movies lately/) - KarenNoCA - 11:55pm on 05/24/13

You say potato, I say @/#!%. I dunno, it seems to be meant as a joke, and it would be funny to hear - Joe - 2:04pm on 05/25/13

Oops, Karen, this was meant as a response to the thread and not to you specifically. - Joe - 2:05pm on 05/25/13

No problem....I post in the wrong places too, sometimes. ;) [NT] - KarenNoCA - 11:37pm on 05/25/13

I don't get it either. It's just sad :-( [NT] - EvaN - 11:07pm on 05/24/13
Reminds me of the Gizoogle filter that takes any site and makes it gangster.. [LINK] - Heather_in_SF - 11:29pm on 05/24/13

Always liked Marc's blog - damn -> Liquore di Anice Arancia (Orange Star Anise Liqueur) [LINK] - MariaDNoCA - 3:29am on 05/25/13

I like some of the recipes but wouldn't frequent the site. Guess I'm old school. [NT] - CynUpstateNY - 11:57pm on 05/24/13
I like it. (But I suppose that surprises no one). Never had a problem with language, just intent. - Steve2 in LA - 1:07am on 05/25/13

I tend to have a foul mouth too:) I try to act like a lady here. [NT] - Melissa Dallas - 1:29am on 05/25/13
I can/do cuss like a sailor, but this gives proper swearing a bad name. Kids these days-no style ;) [NT] - MariaDNoCA - 1:51am on 05/25/13

Or should I say - it is in/leaves a bad taste. Not a good thing a food blog. Plus recipes look meh [NT] - MariaDNoCA - 1:55am on 05/25/13

I don't have a problem with curse words... - SallyBR - 12:42pm on 05/25/13

Yes, they are supposed to be used for emphasis. - Lana in FL - 3:45pm on 05/25/13

I don't get it either. I don't think unnecessary vulgar adjectives belong in a food blog IMHO. [NT] - FloriSandy - 1:38am on 05/25/13
One word - immature. [NT] - Meryl - 1:52am on 05/25/13

I don't mind well-placed sailor words, but used as the writer did on the blog is a turn off. - LisainLA - 4:19pm on 05/25/13
I find it sad that even food shows on TV have warnings of coarse language now. [NT] - Marg CDN2 - 9:00pm on 05/25/13

Turns my appetite off faster than a light switch - ugh! [NT] - cheezz - 9:51pm on 05/25/13

Maybe we've discovered a new diet plan? Insert profanithy in all chocolate recipes, BOOM! Diet!? [NT] - Steve2 in LA - 12:02am on 05/26/13

SS says no. Here's a link to the product where you can read more... [LINK] - MariaDNoCA - 5:18pm on 05/25/13

Thank you - it looks interesting. [NT] - LisainLA - 11:00pm on 05/25/13

Yes, just picked some up baby backs at Costco. [NT] - LisainLA - 1:09am on 05/25/13

Grr - just noticed I got spare ribs instead of baby backs, didn't realize they were in the same bin. [NT] - LisainLA - 2:05am on 05/25/13

Are they St. Louis cut spareribs, or the full rack? I actually like St. Louis cut ribs... - Michael in Phoenix - 2:16am on 05/25/13

They are St Louis - please share how you prep them, as I've never had luck - LisainLA - 3:48am on 05/25/13

Lisa, this should help you. It's how I learned to prep them. [NT] [LINK] - Steve2 in LA - 7:08am on 05/25/13

Thanks Steve. I was perusing the archives last night about found a link you posted to a rib site [LINK] - LisainLA - 4:10pm on 05/25/13

Are you using the oven? This is a very good oven recipe from Fine Cooking. I've not made the sauce [NT] [LINK] - Curious1 - 2:26pm on 05/25/13

I am ovening and finishing on the grill, this looks fabulous! [NT] - LisainLA - 4:11pm on 05/25/13

That's what I do, Lisa. I put whatever seasonings I'm using (dry, not sauces)... - Michael in Phoenix - 4:44pm on 05/25/13

Thanks Michael. I'm going to give similar a try. [NT] - LisainLA - 11:01pm on 05/25/13

I prefer St. Louis style also, but the baby backs were on sale. I usually - charlie - 2:31pm on 05/25/13

We are doing {oven then charcoal} as well. Easy and delicious. :) [NT] - Lana in FL - 3:38pm on 05/25/13
You know, it may be blasphemous as you say, but my extended family... - Michael in Phoenix - 4:47pm on 05/25/13
I prefer to buy spareribs, do a St. Louis trim on them myself, use the leavings in Green Chile Stew. [NT] - Steve2 in LA - 11:57pm on 05/25/13

Great idea. I still love your Korean ribs. [NT] - Melissa Dallas - 1:28am on 05/26/13
Always nice to get a bonus, but WF only carried Neiman Ranch ribs in St Louis style- [NT] - charlie - 2:06pm on 05/26/13

I posted a method that I love learned from Southern Living. It involves stacking them on - Janet in NC - 2:25pm on 05/25/13

I look for it Janet [NT] - charlie - 2:32pm on 05/25/13
Janet, a quick search here didn't bring it up but is this the online Southern Living recipe? [NT] [LINK] - Curious1 - 6:56pm on 05/25/13

That's the very one. I usually cut one rib in thirds and do the same thing. Three racks of ribs - Janet in NC - 10:33pm on 05/25/13

sorry, meant one "rack" in thirds, not "rib" [NT] - Janet in NC - 10:33pm on 05/25/13

Was talking yesterday about how we used to smoke back ribs for hours & then just eat them cold. They - Marg CDN2 - 8:56pm on 05/25/13

Not to besmirch your memories but I don't think under-cooked ribs would "slide easily off the bone." [NT] - Steve2 in LA - 11:59pm on 05/25/13

Lol, I was thinking that also. [NT] - Curious1 - 1:19am on 05/26/13

Just a thought, sometimes slow-cooked meat stays pink, could that be what happened? [NT] - Curious1 - 1:20am on 05/26/13

Smoke makes a pink ring/layer in meat. [NT] - Melissa Dallas - 1:29am on 05/26/13
No actually, our directions always said not to confuse smoking with cooking so we considered them - Marg CDN2 - 1:50am on 05/26/13

Last minute decision, I'm making Ribs with Tomatillo-Glaze... (more) - SallyBR - 9:48pm on 05/25/13
