D picked up a slab of pig ribs Saturday. She's been jonesing for them
for a week or more. I rubbed them with Gebhardt's chili powder, nuoc
mam, lime juice, and (a little silly) pumpkin pie spice blend.
They're in the smoker now.

The really silly part is that on impulse, I picked up half a Jack
Daniels' whiskey barrel to use as fire wood. The store was selling
them for planters, but my little sledge (D calls it a Barbie sledge
hammer) has reduced mine to slats of old, whiskey-soaked, charred oak.

I'll smoke the ribs about 5 hours. Could I be on to something? Or
just silly?
