Back ribs prices
Earlier this week, the supermarket down the road had vacuum packed
back ribs for $2.99 per pound. The same supermarket also sells back ribs (not vacuum packed) at the meat counter for $8.59 per pound. Ouch. They are trimmed of too much meat for that price IMO. I wouldn't pay that much. |

I want to know who DOES pay that much for those ribs, and how do they prepare them? |

It's all crock pot/braised and soaked in sauce. I served pulled pork to a party of 70 people and lots of them said they had never had real pulled pork before. A few wanted to know where I'd bought my WSM. |

A > few wanted to know where I'd bought my WSM. For sure crockpot pork is a different experience entirely, but it can be quite good as evidenced by 'Kili's' Kalua Pig. I made a pot of that a few weeks ago and it practically evaporated from my frig with just myself eating it. Brick (That's my story and I'm sticking to it) |

A few >wanted to know where I'd bought my WSM. Sounds like when my in-laws came for a visit a month or so ago. I put 20 pounds of pork picknic on the smoker and hickory smoked it for twelve hours. I was told by my father in law that I was wasting a lot of wood, charcoal, and time cooking it that way. According to him, pulled pork was pulled pork and I should have just made it in the crock pot simmering in bbq sauce. He very quickly changed his mind when I gave him a sample, and then ate several large portions for dinner without the sauce. He seemed to like the grilled corn on the cob also. Hopefully I'll get a couple more on this weekend. Should be good smoking weather. |

BTW: If someone actually offered me $6.00 for one of my broilers, I'd run for the hatchet. I am usually lucky to get $4.50. |

There are lots of people where I live that sell what they claim to be free range organic chicken, for $4-$6 a pound. I don't buy any but lots of people do, I think they suffer some psychosis. My next door neighbor raises such chickens and sells them. even the local restaurants buy them. I buy national brand name oven stuffer roasters at the stupidmarket for like $1/lb, my cats love them, how bad can they be. I'm not big on eating chicken, I have chicken maybe four times a year, but still I ain't so feather brained to pay like $5/lb for bird meat any cat can bring home. Several of my nearby neighbors raise chickens for meat and eggs, some have fabulous web sites, only reason I don't post them is I don't need the entire web to know exactly where I live. |

On rare occasion, I will see one that is just one long line of text that I don't bother spending the effort even reading. Can't really see the use in google groups other than one more thing for google to claim as a service. ah well... |

Analyze the click stream for "affinities" based on usage history. Blah blah. No amount of money could get me to add IRL data to facebook or any of these other creepy sites. I say this as one of the creeps. |

My profile is all but blank. When I do post something I look it over and decide if there is anything in it that could bite me in the ass later, influence a hiring decision, or give information to marketers. Even then, I delete it after a day or two max. I guess I am just paranoid, but I am okay with that. |
