I want my babyback, babyback, babyback… ribs

I made ribs this week – they were so yummy!  Best part was the leftovers – let me tell you.

To start, I took babyback ribs (pork) and hit them with a rub.  I wrapped them in foil and stuck them in a bar-b-que stand thingy (do you like my technical lingo?).

I went to the CT Culinary Institute yesterday to check out their course offerings… I’m considering taking the Advanced Culinary program there… but as much as I like to cook, I really like taking pictures too – of course,  I can do both, but not as well as I’d like to.  Both are hobbies and just like sometimes I take a good picture, sometimes I come up with a good dish.  (perhaps more than sometimes, but you get my drift)

Sweet white wines such as Gewürztraminer, Riesling, and even white Zinfandel work especially well with this sauce. To obtain the best texture, be careful not to break up the meat too much when cooking it with the milk in step 4. With additional cooking and stirring, it will continue to break up.

Serves 4- 6 as main course, 6-8 as a side

Bread Crumb Topping
3 – 4 slices white sandwich bread with crusts, torn into quarters
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (1/2 ounce)
1/4 teaspoon table salt
1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
