Smoking BBQ Ribs



In among my heliotrope and other posies in a cement urn is this tightly woven bird's nest. Six speckled eggs live there full time and a skittish brown birdie that likes to hop rather than fly lives there part time.



Here is Mama Birdybird on her eggs, not to pleased with the papparazzi.



Welcome littles!



I am smoking baby back pork ribs out back today. One rack has a mustard based rub and the other a more traditional paprika/pepper based rub. It is an indirect heat and smoke, using chunks and chips of hickory soaked in water. Looks better than it tasted, sadly.



No bird's eggs will be harmed in the smoking of these ribs.
