I have only been back only a month and I am starting to miss a thick piece of beef (McDonalds just doesn’t fill the bill). I didn’t ‘crave the beef’ the first semester I was here because I hadn’t spent a week at my sister’s prior to arriving in China. I am worried all the great BBQ that Ric fixed for us has me in “meat withdrawal”.
July 28th-Aug 6th
Dinners at Barb and Ric’s were great. I got my fill of Italian, Mexican and most important MEAT. Ric cooked three of the main courses while I was there. The back yard is filled with a variety of Male-Testosterone Reinforcing Cooking Equipment (shorten that to BBQ Equipment). A large Jenair gas grill, a Weber charcoal grill and a smoker. He seems to be equally versatile on all of them. The First night he dazzled me with thick juicy seasoned hamburgers on the gas grill. There were leftovers so I was able to enjoy them 2 more times for lunch. Next act was rib eyes on the charcoal grill. For his final performance he smoked 3 racks of ribs for 3 hours and then finished them off in the gas grilled for another 3 hours. There were worth every hour. They were delicious. They had a yummy spicy rub on them along with an apple BBQ sauce. The meat was so tender it fell off the bone.
