Even though it's Fall, we're having an Indian Summer day today, high's in the 80's. I feel like ribs but don't want to deal with the grill or the little black bast@$%'s that are all over now. They're harvesting corn and soybeans all around us and those tiny suckers leave welts all over me. They get in your hair, under your clothes and worst of all they come in right through the screens, so you can't even open your windows. The sick thing is I found out they don't actually "bite", they leave a teeny, tiny drop of their urine on you and it's like acid. Nice huh?

Ugh....one of the drawbacks of living in rural North Iowa. 

Anyhoo....I still am making ribs, but I'm using my most favorite recipe for the slow cooker.
