• Thanks again for the pickle recipe...still haven't had time to try it out, but have scouted out the local Polish grocery for cucumbers, but wasn't sure which of the two types was right...One said gobiurki and I can't remember the other one (thought I took a picture but can't find it now!)
    Anyways back to the topic at hand...I did get round to smoking some beef ribs this past Sunday as a practice run for a BBQ Saturday to belatedly celebrate/mock the 4th of July. Unfortunately only have pics of the rubbed up joint, and not the final product but it was alright despite my resorting to the foil "texas crutch" too early. I'll try to reduce heat more early and let it smoke longer before wrapping next time.
    Also planning on doing a couple pork shoulders...one classic pulled pork style and one "pibil" which is supposedly the next big thing in slow cooking in 'Murica (obviously an old tradition from indigenous cooking appropriated by somebody to make money...) results to follow at the weekend.

  • Oh I love puerco pibil - it's about all I ate when I've been in the Yucatan.

    I used to use lots of lime juice to cook down carnitas, it makes the meat so tasty.

    As to the cucumbers, they should look slightly gnarly. They're in season now too so should be abundant.
