Well every great African-American family has to have a family recipe for spareribs! I have to chuckle, the members of my first church didn't know I was black until they had my ribs! Here I go again, I am the last one to know that I don't look ALL BLACK!.

This particular year, my church members came to my house for New Year's Day! After dinner, I heard them whispering, "Pastor is black!" I am thinking to myself...well, what in the world did they think I was!"

You see, black folks...we must have some kind of PORK and black eyed peas for good luck to start the year off right! You ain't black unless you have high blood pressure and black eyed peas by New Year's Day evening! I cooked every part of the pig possible this particular January 1st! Did they get a revelation!

I saw them chuckling to themselves. It must have been the pig's feet which confirmed that I was black! I was just amazed; I had know idea that they questioned if I were African-American or not! Well, the "trotters" and ribs confirmed that no matter what I was...I COULD COOK! Serving my ribs was my seal of approval, "Pastor, You BLACK!"

So enjoy my recipe for ribs! I will spare you the recipe for "trotters" i.e. pig feet; they are a heart attack waiting to happen!

So YOU MUST KNOW HOW TO COOK RIBS from your stove's oven and NOT JUST FROM THE GRILL for July 4th!

Why? Chil' you got to eat ribs all year round...not just in the Summer, of course!


HAPA MOMMA's Barbeque Rib Recipe:

1. You don't measure a thing!
2. A slab of ribs from wherever you get ribs!
3. Clean them the best you can and throw them
in a pot of water! Use a pan big enough to cover
the ribs with water.
4. Just shake in onion powder, garlic powder, pepper,
sometime of seasoned salt, and very little table salt.
5. Boil them for about 45 minutes.
6. Set your oven to about 375 degrees.
7. Take the ribs out and lay them in a baking pan.
8. Put more onion powder, garlic powder and pepper
over the slab of ribs.
9. Pour a honey/smoke like barbeque sauce over them.
10. Cover with aluminum foil and bake for about another
30 minutes until the meat is falling off the bones.
11. Make sure to keep a little water in the bottom of
the pan so the ribs don't stick!
12. If you want them crispy take the aluminum foil off
and bake about 10 more minutes.
13. You can serve them soft and juicy if you like over
white rice or fried rice by NOT covering them as noted
in step #12. Just take them out and serve!

It takes about 1 1/2 hour cooking time...the slower the
cooking time and the lower the heat make them succulient!

If being African-American is your dominant culture...
YOU MUST HAVE RIBS FOR DINNER and NOT JUST IN THE SUMMER!

WW Tip: I substitute LARGE Turkey Neck Bones for
PORK RIBS and my friends testify that they are eating
Pork Spare Ribs, for sure! This recipe works for
Beef Short Ribs and Beef Ribs also as well
as the Country Style Cuts of Pork Ribs!!!

Bon Appetite!
