I realized (thanks to Krista’s inquisitive comment \ud83d\ude42 ) that I completely forgot to write how the recipes turned out!\u00a0\u00a0 So, here goes:<\/p>\n

Sweet ‘n Spicy Ribs turned out excellent!\u00a0 I would definitely make them again.\u00a0 They were flavorful and tasty albeit just a smidgen on the dry side.\u00a0\u00a0 Of course, I’m not a rib connosour so I don’t have much to compare them to.\u00a0 \ud83d\ude42\u00a0 (Tim says they were good too. He said he would give them a 6 out of 10 (for the dryness) but if done again and more moist he would give them a 8 out of 10).\u00a0 Here’s the recipe for those interested:<\/p>\n
