I was happily making smoked baby back ribs last night. I mean, who would not be happy doing that?
I said cheerfully to my dearest: “There is nothing better than smoked baby back ribs!”
Instantly says she: “Bacon”.

No need to fight. Just wrap the ribs in bacon.
Jedi mindstuff right there, Admin.
You missed your calling. You should have been a marriage counsellor.
Well, I tried Admin’s advice. Turns out he is just a shit stirrer who likes to cause trouble.
My dearest rejected that advice, and now insists on bacon wrapped in bacon.
It’s called a Bacon Explosion and it’s delicious.

Why fight over bacon and ribs ?
when you can just have both
It was really funny. On many levels.
Real hard to argue against bacon. But smokey baby back ribs? Slathered in a nice bbq sauce? Tender so it falls off the bone? Served with potato salad and baked beans? Lord have mercy.
I am convinced God is truly benevolent seeing as he gave us pigs to turn into ribs and bacon and pulled pork and ham.
We used to cook a pot of baked beans on the rack under the ribs for a couple hours. After you ate, your face looked like a glazed donut. Yum, Yum!!!
This is exactly why I’m hoping my wife changes her station from the East Coast to Houston area.
It would break my little heart to sell and move to Texas. Hunting feral hogs for food and fun in my later years would be the best retirement ever.
Oh right, like there is some kind of magical animal where you can get bacon and ribs and pulled pork and ham…
Mmmmmm…Bacon!
Mmmmm…ribs!
Conundrum!
Nah, you make German potato salad, that uses the bacon. You put bacon in the beans and eat that with the ribs. Problem solved, marriage saved and life lived happily ever after.
Just keep your frickin’ hands off my pork and beer and there won’t be any fights.
When it’s cold and wet outside a grill doesn’t cut it. It’s nice to stay inside. Put those ribs in a pressure cooker set to 40 minutes with a low sodium soy sauce seasoning. Enjoy with sticky rice and steamed broccoli al dente.
You can cook up some bacon anytime, but slow cooked baby backs can’t be just thrown in the pan and chewed on a few minutes later. They take time and effort and therefore, I’m reaching for the baby backs first.
I’ll have my bacon for dessert.
Its all about the timing… when they come together, your tongue will thank you.
Who can argue against two rights? There is no wrong here.
