    I rarely eat meat anymore but when I do, I want it to be GOOD!  So when this guy told me this recipe today and said it was "FREAKIN' GOOD!", I thought I might have to try it sometime.  He said to cut up ribs so that they'll fit into a slow cooker and add a 12 ounces of Coca Cola. Start the slow cooker. Then, for the last hour, slather the ribs with barbecue sauce.

    They guy was practically drooling when he told me this, LOL.  Anyone ever try it?

    I've done it, very good!  
    Even better if you don't put the BBQ sauce in the crock.  Cook em tender, take them out and slather them up, then slap em on the grill till they get a little char.

    if you have fresh basil and good fresh tomatoes, this sauce is the shit and emphasizes the tomatoes.

    Stolen from Mark Bittman, as about half of my go-to recipes are.  Love how easy/good they are.
    Making myself tonight with shrimp being added....finishing some fresh pasta in it as a request from my sister, who is visiting.

    Put chopped tomatoes (roughly 2 cups is what he calls for, I eyeball it at 3-4 tomatoes) in a bowl.  Add a few tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil.  Salt and pepper to taste.  Hack up a few cloves of garlic (keep pieces large) and add.  mix the shit all up, breaking down some of the tomatoes, but leave some chunks. 

    Let it sit for a while.

    While your pasta is cooking, take a scoop of water from the pasta and add to the mixture in the bowl.  After a few minutes take the garlic chunks out. 

    Finish your pasta with the mixture, cooking the last minute.  Add a good amount of fresh basil and toss.

    Enjoy with some wine, your favorite bread

    My local italian shop where I get my fresh pasta makes killer gravy so if I want a pureed sauce, I just buy theirs.  For a rough topping (especially when mixing in shrimp) I go with the recipe above.

    I was at the Italian market yesterday and decided to pick up some fresh pasta and tomatoes and made this. Very good. Will definitely be in rotation. Thanks for sharing

    Yep, I've done this as well, but sans the crock pot. Let them ribs soak in Coca Cola for about 12 hours, then onto the grill. Gots to get that char. Yum-o!
    Time to Q it up, baby!

    gambo, wow.  That looks better than the (fairly expensive) produce at the markets I frequent.  And I can imagine how those eggs must taste, let alone how they look when cracked open.

    Yum to the cokeribs!

    I've got one even better.  Put Black bean and Garlic sauce on them instead, you'll find this in the Asian section.

    Oh and Brian you are in the land of Tri-tip steak.  We can't get butchers to offer that cut here in NY...

    @rgambs  Nice little haul.  I'll have to post the garden here soon too.

    Awesome!  My rendition with 2 pounds of shrimp added went over very well.  Made great drunken grind food the following night.  Good pasta and a good sauce like this is amazing to eat right out of the fridge.  Takes on a different taste than when it is hot but it is delicious.

    Had a big BBQ on Saturday after our 10 Year Anniversary Re-Commitment ceremony.  Was just close family and I had a stream of beer (mixed in with tequila shots throughout) going all afternoon/night and made a few rounds of burgers & dogs.  Mother-in-law's Baked Beans and Potato Salad to go along and it was what may be our last true summer feast given our travel plans over the next month.  Thoroughly enjoyed it.
