Grill revival

Well, the ribs look a little dark, but that's just the sauce. The insides are pretty good - not fall off the bone- but certainly good. The sweet pineapple is a great foil to the heat of the rib sauce, and the potatoes are bangin!

That sounds absolutely right up my alley. I don't like "fall off the bone" ribs, enjoy deep caramelization on my sauce and think pineapple is a terrific accompanyment to BBQ. Nicely done!

Thanks, Craig. I still have a ways to go with figuring out the best technique. I was turning these on the grill every 15-20 minutes (over the course of two hours) and putting a new coat of sauce on top with each flip. I was on "low" on my grill setting, but that may still have been a little hot. Hope to give it one more try before actual cold weather sets in.

I was interested by your comments on last Friday's show about the cacao(?) powder you put in your coffee recently. I've done it with cinnamon on the coffe grounds when brewing, but not as a by the cup additive.

This lady had a block of chocolate she'd made from the cacao. She just grated it into a cup and poured the coffee over it.

As a general rule, many Dominicans grate some nutmeg into the greca (stovetop espresso maker, á la Bialetti) before putting it together. I like it, but some of them overdo it. This cacao thing, though, was delightful.

I just think your timeframe was too long. Cook the ribs with a rub then finish over about 45 with the sauce. I'm no expert but it's yielded good results for me.

Walked in the lunchroom today to find this! I love my job sometimes

Tonight's creation... grilled shrimp on a bed of sugar snap peas, bacon, tomatoes, onion, and cilantro, ringed by grilled pineapple and followed by some fruit sushi. Yum...
