Big Daddy's Special Reserve

OK. It was our friend Mike's 40th Birthday this weekend. Since Shannon and I Hijacked his birthday last year for me to propose to Shannon, I thought we owed him BIG. Mike's favorite ribs come from Hungry Harry's. Now my co-worker has been working there for 25 years. So we had a plan. Dennis and I got together with Jeanne and we were gonna hook Mike up. Dennis was gonna do his own special thing. He smokes his ribs using old whiskey casks that have been charred inside . All in all, it is an 8 hour process. Well to heat them up for Mike, Dennis suggested that I use a little liquid in the pan to keep them moist. Well our friend Marcus from Alabama had sent us the best stuff, Wicker's Original Marinade and Baste from Missouri. The combination of these "Best Of's", from whiskey casks to Missouri baste and all the love in between created something truly special. "Big Daddy's Special Reserve Ribs". Dennis warned me they would be tender, but these ribs you had to slide the plate under instead of picking them up as they would fall apart. Dennis called me today to see how the ribs went over and I had to tell him that, and I quote Mike, "Those ribs were off the chain!!". Happy Birthday Mike! Those were just for you. BTW, Shannon is already planning the 4th of July "Big Daddy Special Reserve Ribs" for us all.
Love you all and see you soon,
Robert
