The Mrs is hosting her Ladies' Book Club tonight, so I'm cooking dinner for
them and going out to see a guy movie (probably "Man on Fire") before the
ladies arrive.

Two slabs of spares, a big package of wings, and some nice locally made
turkey sausage. I'll use a rub on the spares, and just for fun, I'll
finally try out Danny Gaulden's glaze just before I take them out. In order
to make room for everything in the K7, I'll probably roll the ribs up.
Don't know why, but my ribs always come out better when I cook them on their
side (in a rack or roll) than flat and turned once. Go figure.

I pureed a couple of cans of chipotle chiles in adobe, and I have the wings
marinating in that. In hindsight, I wish I had mixed in some more tomatos
and herbs; I think the wings are going to be too hot for the ladies (but
fine for me and the gang in the office next week).

For appetizers, I grilled some bells this morning and I'm marinating them in
sherry vinegar. The sides are a nice vinegar based cole slaw (from a KC
restaurant, in the BBQ issue of Saveur) and some spuds cut like big fries
but cooked in the pit with salt, pepper, and garlic.

I understand the guests are bringing more appetizers, veggies, and dessert.

Gotta go clean up the mail etc. on my side of the kitchen table.
