Pork ribs at Springs RV

Today at our place in Harrison Hot Springs (Springs RV Resort) I made pork ribs and pizza both on the barbecue.  As it is our first time here this season we are not well stocked yet with spices and seasoning. I liberally rubbed 2 racks of ribs with 'Ted's Bone Dust' the night before. For an off the shelf rub it is very good. Canadian Tire is always well stocked if you want to try it.

I don't have a smoker here so I slow roasted them at 250 degrees on the barbecue using cherry wood pucks from my Bradley Smoker.  Just wrapped a couple of them in tin foil and poked some holes in it. 

While the ribs were smoking low and slow we went for a walk. Just down the road from us is the water tower. We walked up to it and took in the view. 

By the time we got back it was time to sauce the ribs. They had been in the barbecue for 4 1/2 hours. I cut them into one rib pieces and glugged plenty of Cattle Boyz sauce on them. Back into the barbecue for another 2 hours.

Nicely coated with sticky sauce.

Add the barbecued pizza and some spinach salad and we had the perfect May long weekend dinner with some of our family.

Salmon and Asparagus

This is my first personal blog posting. Mostly this blog will be about food and cooking. Besides working in/on my business at Tri Tech information Systems (www.tri-tech.com ) cooking is my passion.

Sometimes there will be videos and pictures of things that I cook and sometimes links and comments about other peoples food preparations.

As an example here is a picture of last weekend's meal. Both the salmon and the asparagus was cooked on a charcoal barbecue. 2 years ago I went back to charcoal and only use my gas one if I don't have time for to heat up the briquettes. The taste is so much better.

Asparagus marinated in a combination of oils, balsamic vinegar garlic and a few dashed of Memphis dust. The Memphis dust recipe come from amazingribs.com. Click here to see it.

The salmon recipe was taken from Momstown
The only thing that I did different was to again sprinkle on some Memphis dust.

Please read the story that goes along with it. It shows how much food preparation glues a family together. Many of our fondest memories are set around food.

Well, that's it for the first post. Thanks for visiting.
