Last night for dinner I attempted a new recipe for ribs.. and WOW! That was quite the experience...I started with some sweet potato fries, mixed with olive oil, brown sugar, salt, and pepper-- pop those delicious morsels in the oven and bake for 20-30 minutes. Now my ribs had been cooking in the crock pot all day.. smelling so tasty! I had this special rub of paprika, brown sugar, chili powder, salt, and pepper on them, then when the fries where close to being finished I took them out of the crock pot and my new recipe said to broil them in the oven. Broil, previous to this recipe I have NEVER used the broil option on my oven---talk about cooking blind! Now keep in mind that my perfect sweet potato fries are still in the oven-- I put the ribs on a pan, add the BBQ sauce flip the oven switch to broil (most evil word in the English language!) and pop the ribs in the oven. Seconds... seriously seconds! I see a stream of smoke.. so embarrassing yes smoke coming from the back burner--- I yank the oven door down, and quickly, like super sonic speed, pull the sweet potato fries out--- some were lost, they fought a good fight... we had a memorial, and enjoyed the rest in their honor. Now, broil--I hate the word-- not only burned my fries, but we also have hyper sensitive smoke alarms. Imagine with me, a few puffs of smoke, I flip on every fan and open every window possible, and still every 5 minutes the smoke alarm is going off. Imagine me running back and forth from the kitchen to the bedroom waving a towel in front of the alarm to make it shut up! I was bitter.... just a little. Yikes! In the end, dinner was finished, and the ribs came out so tasty, like finger licking good--- makes me hungry just thinking about those ribs... Needless to say broil will forever be an example of a "Magillacuddy" moment in our lives. Do you have any funny cooking stories? Don't forget to press the follow button and check back regularly! See ya soon!
