I have got to tell you, I am not sure which I liked better, the rub on the ribs or the barbecue sauce. Both are excellent. Both have that sunshine citrus flavor. Finger-licking good. Oh yeah!

In case you missed it, this year for Father’s Day, Kiddo really out did himself when it came to the perfect gift for Hubby. It was a grill that does it all – smoker, charcoal, gas and even has a side burner for keeping sauces warm or simmering a pot of beans.

April’s beautiful liquid sunshine, wet in the morning, but by afternoon it’s perfect for getting outdoors. This is hiking weather, or for taking long drives in the country. Best of all the afternoons are made for backyard barbecues. Hubby had been eyeing the country ribs for a while, waiting for the rains to subside and the days to warm. Guess everyone else in the neighborhood had the same longing because when we finally decided to pick up a few pounds of meaty country ribs, the pickings were slim. However, the pork baby backs were looking pretty good. Switching gears just a bit, we picked up a couple of nice racks.
