Have you ever had a hankering for food and watching TV or going on social media only intensified your cravings?!?! Because I worked on Labor Day, I missed my last opportunity for a summer cookout--not like I was invited to any cookouts, but still--and had a taste for some BBQ ribs. Of course, what was one of the first pictures I see on Facebook from somebody's cookout? That's right: a delicious looking slab of BBQ ribs sprawled across the grill--and the brother looked like he knew what he was doing. Add insult to injury, I DVR'd both General Hospital and Atlanta, watched them two days later and what did both episodes feature?? What else...ribs. In fact, they didn't even show the ribs on GH; all they had to do was mention ribs and I was ready to head to Port Charles. Sadly, it took me nearly three weeks to satisfy the basic craving and nearly a month to get a super-tasty half rack of baby back ribs. (MORE RANDOMNESS: as I typed that, I thought of Fat Bastard from Austin Powers in Goldmember singing, "I want my baby back, baby back, baby back, baby back, baby back...ribs." You did, too. Admit it.) As long as I don't have to see anybody post pictures of sushi anytime soon, then I'll manage with that craving for another week before I have to buckle down for a Volcano Roll. Now that I've made your mouth water--which is becoming the new theme over D.C. Metro and PBS Kids--let's get to the madness...
