I tried baby back ribs in our Instant Pot, last evening, and they were every bit as good as 10 hours on our smoker.

24 minutes at pressure, natural pressure release for 5 minutes, then 3 minutes under the broiler to caramelize the mesquite BBQ sauce. Fall off the bone good!

Prayers to all.

I finally bought an instant pot. Was gonna wrap for Christmas but wife saw it.

Ribs might be one of the first things.

Neglected to post pic of the lights on the front of the house this morning. Walked down to bring back the garbage can last night, and decided to snap a pic on my way back. I apparently spent too much time watching what the phone was doing to adjust to the light, and not enough making sure the picture was level. Eh, so it goes.

Dose them down with your favorite rub.

In pot add;

1 cup water
3 tbsp. apple cider vinegar
1/2 tsp. Liquid Smoke.

Cook 24 min. at pressure
Natural release for 5 minutes, then vent.

During the 5 minutes turn on your broiler.

Baste ribs with BBQ sauce.

Put under broiler for 2-3 minutes to caramelize the sauce.

This is for baby back ribs. Spare ribs need to cook about 5-6 minutes longer. Don’t forget to remove the membrane from back of ribs.

Enjoy!

32ｰF and cloudy this morning, going up to 50ｰ today. We'll take another mild December day, as the weatherman says we should expect some accumulating snowfall Sunday night into Monday. Guess I'll put the rear blade back on the tractor this weekend.

Speaking of Yes, RNG ... I had the wonderful fortune of meeting the band after a show they played here in St. Louis back in July 2002. The drummer I was playing with at the time also worked as a driver for the amphitheater, driving the bands to and from their hotels, and he got me an all-access backstage pass for that show. I stood off on the side of the stage while Chris Squire played his bass solo. After the show, I got to talk with everyone except Steve Howe, who apparently has a phobia about meeting people. All were super nice. I was sitting in the hallway between the dressing rooms - sitting next to Alan White while he was winding down from the show - when I heard that distinctive voice ask, "When will the van be here to take us back to the hotel?" When I turned around, there was Jon Anderson. Wonderful guy. Rick Wakeman was walking around trying to find the right door to get to the meet-n-greet. He couldn't wait to go meet some fans. My drummer had also dated a woman who was on the road with Yes as their massage therapist. He convinced her to introduce me to Chris Squire (one of my bass guitar heroes), and I spent about 20 minutes sitting in his dressing room chatting with him about bass player stuff ... basses, strings, amps, influences (ironic), and just general musician babble. I'd heard a lot of bad things about him as a person over the years, and he lived up to none of it that day. One of the most pleasant conversations I've ever had with a famous musician.

Great experience and story, PJ.

I think I've told this story before. I never met the band, but saw them live in Durham in the 70s...they were recording a live album, and we were near the audience microphones...so of course, during a quiet moment between songs we yelled loud enough to hear ourselves on the album when it came out.

Down to 30 , calling for 55 tomorrow.

Got my instructions from the nurse this afternoon, what to take, what not, don’t eat or drink after midnight, etc... Then I’ll have to go over it all again when I get there, but better safe than sorry.
