Captain Crunch has nothing on Charcoaled Ribs
So my GF, in her infinite wisdom and bottomless heart thought it would be nice to make me some ribs for dinner, not just any ribs, but marinated ribs in flavored in various marinades. Well, after learning how to start the grill and being reminded about it later the next day, she set out to cook me a nice meal of ribs. Her first misadventure with my grill was that it was set too low and it went out for 30 minutes (mmm gassed ribs!). Well, after letting it air out she restarted it on my way home.
Next, she set it a tad bit higher and it worked fine... till the fat in the meat started dripping onto the bottom and caught fire shooting flames 18 inches in the air, and causing her to freak out. She quickly shut off the grill and got the flames out, bless her heart. She calls me up on the verge of tears, explaining what happened. I told her I would look at it when I got home. As I walk in the door there she is, a sad little expression on her face, and I walk out to look at the damage.
The ribs were there, mostly blackened, and the ones on the bottom mostly charcoaled. However, they were still edible (mostly). I think it made her happy for me to eat them :P. However now the back of my mouth is suffering from the Captain Crunch Syndrome (you know, the one where it feels raw).
