FLG is a huge ribs fan. His favorite are from the Rendezvous in Memphis. The Memphis Style Ribs in the Barbecue Bible (you bought it, right?) are the Rendezvous' recipe, and that's the reason FLG bought the book in the first place. Sometimes, however, it's tremendously inconvenient to get the hickory smoke and everything going out on the grill.
When that happens FLG makes his ribs, hold the rotten tomatoes, in the oven using this recipe. Hold judgment about ribs in the oven until you've tried it.

Sorry. Can't hold back the rotten tomatoes.
Ribs? In the oven?
Great jeezey chreezey. I'm not sure I can even wrap my brain around that concept.
I can't - nay! - I do not want to imagine such blasphemy against barbeque.
You know that there are areas of our great Republic in which admitting that you've cooked ribs in the over in an attempt to mimic barbeque on a grill or in a smoker is enough to get you killed and your decendents shunned to the seventh generation.

The biggest crime is parboiling.
I meant to type in there "descendents." I was overcome by moment.
I once had ribs that were parboiled. My response, I believe, was that I ripped out the cook's heart, suffed it with dried fruits and roasted it over an open flame before feeding it to his family as a amuse bouche.

I also meant to type "stuffed" in that last comment.
My fingers seem to be failing me. It must be that 2:1 egg nog to bourbon ratio getting to me.
I gotta finish off the jug of egg nog in the fridge. My rule is no egg nog after the Feast of the Epiphany. (Until the subsequent Thanksgiving...)
