While we are on the topic of ribs, its a given that "smoking" is the best technique for preparing ribs. But does anybody else slow cook them in the oven, and then finish them off on the grill? I've been using this technique for about a year, and it is excellent. The night before, I cut a rack in half, put on the dry rub, and a little bit of BBQ sauce, and then place into a foil packet to marinade overnight (5 minutes to do). Next day, put the foil packet in a low oven (250 tops) for 2 1/2 hours. When time is up, remove ribs from packet and place on grill for 10-15 minutes, applying BBQ sauce liberally, and allow to carmelize. The resulting meat is so tender it falls off the bone. Really excellent, incredibly easy, and foolproof.

I'm hungry just thinking about this. Go with with either black-eyed peas or baked beans. Pass on corn on the cob if you are already serving corn bread.

Okra or collard greens are true Southern delicacies that are great if done right (Yes, I know many consider them an 'acquired' taste.)

For dessert, how about a change of pace with a Kentucky Derby Pie.

Yes a hamhock would work well.

Has anyone mentioned mac 'n' cheese yet?

A hamhock is an acceptable substitute. I can get you a recipe when I get home if you can wait. In the meantime, why dont you google "southern style green beans" or something to that effect? I will say that if you are doing ribs the baked beans are damn near required.

Yeah, yeah I do.

Don't have a smoker. And obviously, this is the way to go if you don't have a smoker. They turn out pretty damned good.
