Sad, but better than nothin' :(

My in-laws are here for a play my daughter is in tonight. My wife was hesitant to have me smoke something since my FIL is a picky eater.

I DO get to smoke a turkey breast tomorrow (Thanks Saiko!), but for today, I had to make do with fake ribs in the oven.

I tried this recipe last year (before I came upon this site and built my UDS) and he flipped over them. I now know this is BBQ blasphemy, but I get to eat ribs and my wife is allowing the turkey tomorrow.

Step 1 (avert your eyes):

Parboil :tsk: with celery seed, kosher salt, garlic, and black pepper.

Step 2 (Prepping for the oven, not the smoker. Still hit it with some rub, though.):

Step 3 Foil the roasting pan and stick in the oven for about 5 hours (I know, seems like overkill, but they come out fall-apart tender)

More pics to follow. I KNOW how bad this is, so please, do not take me to task. Light-hearted ribbing is also expected. :laugh:

At least I don't have to eat them . A picky eater in my house goes hungry.

I hope they turn out delicious.

Thanks for taking it easy on me.

You have no idea how much I'd like to make him go hungry. :boxing:

They really do taste OK. Just can't hold a candle to the real ribs. :doh:

Next time do half the way he thinks he likes and properly smoke the other half so he can compare.

:shock:

Momma always said, "If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all."

I'll say THIS......it takes a lot of cojones to post boiled ribs here.:heh::boxing:

Sounds like a read of the Uncle Farker Thread needs to be in order!

Don't worry about those ribs for now. You can always convert him later and show him all the goodness he has been missing.

At least you aren't using a crock pot, right?

No crock pot.

 

[TexasAggie97]

No crock pot.

See, it's not THAT bad!

I kid but I feel your pain, bro.

I woulda did half-n-half too. I had same deal with turkey, some didn't want anything but traditional oven turkey. When we deep fried a second small one, they completely regretted their stubborn ways.

Well, I think we can all relate to this thread. The fact that you entertain yur FIL is commendable. I don't think I would be able to do it. Luckily I dont have this problem. If I did I'd probably be divorced :wink:

Ha just saw the tags applied to this thread... funny.

 

[MrSmoker]

He probably likes Tony Roma's too.

 

[NCsmoker]

Yea did two turkeys this thanksgiven to keep everyone happy. Guess what they all like the one I did on the smoker better.

Off the The Penalty Box you go... :tsk:

Light-hearted ribbing is also expected. :laugh:

If I saw any ribs worth ribbing, I'd rib, soooo......:tape:

If you smoke the turkey slip in some of the appetizers, maybe you'll get him hooked that way.
