chefjp – Thanks!

Brilynn – We’re smoking it tomorrow. I can’t wait! I am beyond excited about this.

Katie – I know, it’s definitely a strange thought.

Susan – No kidding, it’s seriously good stuff.

Andy – Thank you!

Dana – Well, we have backyard access and a smoker/grill that we can bring out from under the stairs, but because we live in a tiny garden apartment, there’s always some hassle with the landlords living above us whenever we actually use the backyard for any length of time. Sorry, no exciting indoor smoker advice here.

Okay, first of all, drooool. Secondly, question: how do you use a smoker at all in a tiny apartment?? What do you use??

Those beef ribs are a beautiful sight to behold and the date molasses sounds like a great paring for them.

I tried date molasses for the first time this year and I’m hooked! Sticky and sweet–who could resist? And who resist those ribs?

I can’t think of anything more opposite than a vegetarian and ribs…unless it’s a vegetarian and foie gras..
They look wonderful! Smoke powder is going on my list to bring back next trip!

Really enjoyed this recipe. I’ve never worked with date molasses before but will definitely pick some up! I do a food blog roundup every Friday and will definitely give this a mention. Thanks!

nex0s – You’re right, I really just want to gobble Bowling Green right up.

Gabi – It’ll probably be great with pork, too, so have fun!

ha3rvey – Boiling them? Really? When I don’t roast them, I usually braise them. I’ve never heard of boiling them.

ahh… beef ribs, the ribs of champions. I’ll have to try this out, but frankly I’m glad to see any beef rib recipe that doesn’t involve boiling them. :)

People- gotta love’em -or become a hermit :)
I just love the idea of asking for a suggestion of a vegetarian option for Beef ribs :lol: Though, I guess you could try the marinade on Boca Ribs- why not.
The Manhattan shaped rib thing is pretty funny too.
The ribs look so yummy I think I’ll see if I can hunt up some of that date molasses and try it on some Pork ribs though- as Rick has a beef consumption aversion.
I too, sometimes use liquid smoke because I need the flavor but can’t do the hassle.
And thanks for the spice resources!
