My son’s going away meal. He leaves for college in 2 days and he asked me to smoke some ribs.

I did 2 racks of back ribs and rubbed them with a mixture of salt, pepper, paprika, chili powder, and coconut sugar. I smoked them for 5 hours, spritzing them with apple cider vinegar every hour. I smoked them using oak wood.

Remember you still have to buy him a fancy lager when he comes of age.

It’s been one week and I’m really missing him tonight.
It doesn’t help that he texts and calls his mom 4 times a day but not me. She told me “you’re his dad. But I’m his mama.” So I guess that makes sense. But his brother is sick, so I don’t have anybody to watch immature raunchy comedies with.

Ribs look good. I still haven't made that brisket, but am going to give it a shot at some point.

I can relate. I really missed my son when he went off to Chapman. The only positive was that he never called anyone unless he needed something.

Immature, raunchy comedies.....you mean professional wrestling or something else?

He’s over 8 hours away in Kansas City.

I’ve been a great father who has introduced him to all of of Adam Sandler and Chris Farley’s movies as well as the classics like Caddyshack and Meatballs. I thought about Magruber, but then I thought I’d be a bad father.

Well, if you left out Animal House, you're not only a bad father, but a horrible human being.

Funny you should say that. We were having a little movie marathon before he left and the last film came down to between that and Young Guns and he was feeling a western that night.

LOL. Animal House would have been a perfect going off to college movie.

As long as I'm on the kitchen thread, I might as well post my newest recipe. It's a Mexican style beef that I really like.

Barbacoa


Ingredients


2-3 pounds Chuck roast or Brisket (it's technically supposed to be made out of beef cheek, but unless you have a cow head around the house, you can just use the above.



1 - 7 oz can chipotles in adobo sauce



Roasted pasilla and jalapeno peppers



12 oz beef broth (You can use a couple bouillon cubes if you want)



1 oz Apple cider vinegar



1 Lime



1 tbsp Oregano



2 tbsp Olive oil



¾ minced brown or yellow onion



3 cloves finely chopped or crushed garlic



Salt and pepper to taste



1 – 7 oz can El Pato spicy tomato sauce



Preparation


Cut roast into 1 ½ cubes



Fine chop chipotles and mix in with roast



Roast, peel, and mince peppers (Jalapeno for a spicier sauce) and mix in with roast



Sear roast in olive oil in frying pan with salt and pepper, and transfer to pot



Pour broth in frying pan, heat, and add oregano, onion, vinegar, lime juice (fresh squeezed) and garlic.



Let come to a slow boil and pour into pot with roast



Cover and let slow cook. If you have a stove with an extra low setting, you can use that also.


Add El Pato to taste (it’s spicy so if you don’t like spicy, just use a little regular tomato sauce)


Salt and pepper to taste


Let slow cook for one hour and then season to taste


When the meat is tenderized (about 3-6 hours), it’s done


It’s especially great on tacos, nachos, or burritos, but can basically be eaten as is or put on just about anything (sandwiches too).
