With all the drama in the world, I needed a project. I decided to buy a smoker and smoke up some ribs. It took a total of 6 hours but it was well worth it. Long ago I got this rub recipe from Alton Brown but I always add my own flair. For the benefit of a recipe I provided teaspoon/tablespoon measurements, but really I eyeball everything but the brown sugar. These ribs come out tender, sweet, and savory. I love them.

Everyone has a Chili recipe, and I am no exception. Below is my recipe for "Doing the Most" Chili. The most time is spent chopping up things and waiting on things to saute/ brown.
