Labor Day barbecue

This is going to be a running account of my barbecue experience right now it's 10:34 a.m. in the morning and I just starting to put the rub on the four slabs of ribs. These are pork spare ribs that I got at Sam's Club
Ribs are washed in the sink
I remove the water moisture from the ribs with commercial towels that I got from Sam's Club.
Terry Cloth towels are great for absorbing moisture off of spareribs.

Once the ribs are dry I apply the dry rub.  Sylvia made a spicy rub from scratch for one slab and I used Mikes Country Store Rub for the other three slabs.
Spareribs with the dry rub.

I wrap the ribs in tin foil until the smoker is fired up and ready for meat.
The smoker is ready with a temperature of about 233 degrees

The meat is finally on the grill at 12:30 PM.  dinner is scheduled for 5 PM
I am only using about one-third of my top rack for these four slabs of spareribs.

Finally, I can serve the ribs along with other side dishes at the dinner party at 5 PM.
Come and get it

I also wanted to visit a few of my favorite spots before I left.

Georgia on my mind

Texas was not deep enough in the south for me so I relocated to Albany, Georgia. I have been her almost a month and the adventure of living in a new city and working at a new institution are still fresh. This week week as I walked across the campus with my paper notebook in hand I was whistling as I passed through groups of students go to classes. I noticed how everyone of them was either talking on a mobile device or listening to music on them. I marveled at how odd I must seem to them as I walked without having any electronic device turned on and instead i was making the music with my lips. Albany Georgia is a lot like Portland, only smaller and really flat. Albany has the Flint River running through the middle of the downtown area and lots of pine and pecan trees all over.
