Ribs!

Brandon & Stephanie visited with us Friday and Saturday.

Just 24 hrs., but we packed in what we could!

When they arrived, we all picked our delicious and abundant raspberries.

Scott, Brandon and Ian went to play tennis on a friend's grass court.

Steph and I went for a walk, froze berries and made ribs for dinner.

Since I purchased two racks of ribs, we decided to try two methods of cooking
and have everyone taste test to see which was the best.

Method 1:

Boil rack of ribs (we used pork) in lemon lime pop and Coke for one hour. (Steph usual uses just Coke.) 

Drain ribs and put on grill. Slather with bbq sauce and cook 15 minutes.

Method 2:

Put rack of ribs on upper shelf of grill. Make foil pan to catch dripping for lower shelf. Slather with bbq sauce and cook on low for about an hour and 15 minutes.

The winner?

Neither one! It actually depended on the bbq sauce. Both kinds were thoroughly enjoyed. Brandon liked the boiled ones, as they had Sweet Baby Ray's Hickory & Brown Sugar bbq sauce. I liked the Kingsford Original Smoked Hickory on the grilled ribs. Ian liked the grilled. Scott like whichever one he was eating!

BONUS!
One of my friends baked this divine looking pie for the 4th of July.
Steph and I both want to replicate it for next year.
