Roll Away the Stone ...

Title? It was the title of a great rock ballad way back in about 1974. The stone alludes to the door of Jesus' tomb, but it doesn't really. It is the metaphor for superstition and self-imposed barriers to being happy.

I am rolling lots of stone away from the door to my life.

Got the big smoker/BBQ grill cleaned, the patio cleaned, the detritus of winter stuffed in the trash bin, and I did a huge rack of back ribs last night. Could only eat half. I par-boil first to remove lots of the fat. Then I grill the ribs. Then I bring them inside and slice them into individual ribs. Then I painted them with sauce in a roasting pan. Both sides. Lots of sauce: mostly BBQ sauce, with mustard and balsamic vinegar added. Then I roast the ribs covered for an hour @ 300F.

I got this method from Mr. Thiebault, who ran a nice restaurant in Thousand Oaks CA where my mother worked. R.I.P. Mr. Thiebault. Great ribs!

I rolled a stone yesterday. I decided the house cleaning can wait a bit. I can live in filth so long as I have enough Zyrtec. LOL

Another stone:

Politics. I won't even talk or discuss it with anyone. My politics will be like my religious beliefs from here on. I AM the resistance. Screw the 'king.' Off with all their heads.

Stones:

Chelsea won the Champions League final against Bayern Munich in Munich's home stadium yesterday. It was a solid performance on both sides. Went to a shootout! I hate shootouts.

Chelsea's biggest day in its 107-year history. I am not a Chelsea fan. I am an Arsenal supporter, another London team, but I was happy the Chelsea side took the title.

So what is the 'stone' here? I actually rooted for a team that during any other day of the year I would totally loathe. LOL

I do the parboiling of the ribs first, too, then the grilling, adding sauce near the end. I don't do the oven thing though. That must make the ribs fall off the bone good.

Between DH's snoring, the cat's wheezing and the trailer trash across the lane hollering and banging for his wife to let him in at 12:30 this morning I'm too beat to roll any stones. Maybe next week.

I wondered where you were going with this when I saw the title. Interesting analogies!

I can almost taste the ribs, dammit... my wings and fries won't be ready for another 40 minutes...

Ribs were great but I can make better. Try par-boiling them first in cheap orange soda. YUM!

The ribs do sound great (but too much work for me - ) As for house duties, Ed said it would be okay for me to get a woman to come in once a month. The cats have me totally undone with the hair thing.

I could feel it! As if you woke up this morning, you felt better than you have in a long time. Reading along, I had to scroll the page back up to see the avatar and make sure it was really you.
