Barbecue Pork Spare Ribs

My blog has mainly quick and easy recipes, but today I am going with slow cooked and easy. It's the weekend, and according to the weatherman, we are expecting snow. So why not take advantage of the indoor time and make the house smell like heaven!
Barbecue spare ribs cooked indoors smell terrific and taste even better! These are so tender that they will literally fall right off the bone. Yum, yum, yummy! If you want to be really bad, you can serve these with some mashed potatoes and then make the short journey to your sofa and hang out just watching TV. If you are feeling a bit guilty, then you can go to the gym. But I have a feeling most will veg in front of the TV. LOL.
Since this recipe is all about slow cooking (well, not that slow) and flavor, why not make some extra and freeze it for another after work meal? It's less expensive than take-out and contains no MSG's. (the bad for you stuff).
So don't feel so blah with this weather, make some barbecue ribs and turn that frown upside down :))))). And as always, Enjoy!
