i want my babyback

What was on the menu this Memorial Day:

- bbq baby back ribs (turned out pretty good; fall-off-the-bone tender; I baked the dry-rubbed ribs in oven for 2 hours at 325 degrees, with one cup of water in pan and with pan tightly sealed in foil, and then finished the ribs off on the grill with bbq sauce)


- grilled pineapple (lightly coated with brown sugar; juicy and sweet; will try cinnamon & sugar next time)

- macaroni salad, with cucumber and dill and sour cream/mayonnaise dressing (too much dill and sour cream; should have gone for a more traditional recipe next time)


- summery corn salad (very summery but also very onion-y; if I do this recipe again, I am going for a quarter of an onion instead of a whole)


- fruit salad with kiwi, strawberries, pineapple, watermelon, apples, oranges, and banana (delicious)


- basil lemonade (really refreshing)


- apple tart tatin with vanilla ice cream (too much caramel left in pan with I flipped the tart over, so it just tasted like an apple pie)


It turned out to be too cold of a day to bbq. Chi Young invited a couple of his friends over, and we were all freezing in the backyard while tending to the grill. And those teenage boys didn't eat as much as I'd expected, so I ended up with loads of leftover in the fridge. I'll be having babyback back and back again.
