Memorial Day…

Maybe not the very healthiest of choices, but so perfect for a holiday weekend!  OK, ribs aren’t the leanest meat, but here is our version:
Bob dry rubbed the ribs with his magical sense of spices and let them marinade overnight! I smoked them in our Cameron’s stovetop smoker with mesquite wood chips and Bob finished them off by slow cooking them on the grill! 

We had broccoli slaw as our side dish.  How easy to get a bag of Trader Joe’s broccoli slaw, add some carrots, green onions, jalapenos, a squeeze of lime, rice wine vinegar, salt and pepper to taste and to add some pizzazz, get out some wasabi (you can find it in a tube)!

A nice bottle of red wine and what a great BBQ! 

Memorial day signifies the start of summer to me even though the official date isn’t until June!  There is no city like Chicago in the summer!!!
