Joe's BBQ Ribs

It's a week long celebration for Dad's! 

Earlier this week, I posted all American Grills for Dad,  

I couldn't let this special week pass without sharing one of my favorite Grill recipes.

My Prince (aka husband, Joe) loves grilling. Taking credit for this recipe would be an absolute sin! (Hence the title, of this blog AND recipe are both in bold and include my hubby's name.) 

Simple 

Delicious 

Horribly Messy 

Promises to be a Hit!

Joe's BBQ Ribs 

Ingredients

~Bone in Pork Ribs 

~Large Onion Quartered 

~BBQ Sauce (preferred choice Sweet Baby Rays Original)

Process

Place Ribs & Onion in large pot and boil for one hour

Remove ribs and slather generously with Sweet Baby Rays 

Grill turning and basting every 2-3 minutes 

Turn 6-7 times 

Serve with roll of paper towels, and a garden hose.

'cause one or two napkins just isn't going to cut it!

Enjoy!! 

And special thanks to my Prince for sharing his recipe! 

Happy Father's Day Sweetheart you're an amazing Dad!

XOXO 

Friday For the Guys: Apple Watch Coming Soon??

My Husband loves his watches, and he is very particular about them. He has his work watches, his dress watches, and even watches that he only wears while doing yard work!! 

So will he be able to wear a watch that is made by Apple and works with his iPhone by the end of this year? If you believe Bloomberg’s latest report, the answer is yes.

Take a look at the concepts that are floating around out there!

According to Apple,  the watch will sync with an iPad or iPhone on the iOS software. 

Very cool! I'm just thinking I've already replaced an iPad due to damage.....how many iWatches will we be replacing? Hopefully they are durable!

Happy Friday Guys......

Keep Back 200 Feet

The last three feet of a 1964 Maxim Pumper has been sitting in my garage for at least 5 years now.  I had it chopped off the back of a truck ready to be scrapped on a cold winter day.  Chuck the welder thought I was out of my mind, until he heard about the 'fire cave' I was going to create for my man! Joe and I planned it out on napkins one night in a restaurant and started collecting pieces for his space.  The back side of this Pumper was to be the entertainment center complete with working lights and a back up alarm.  Well, as we all know life happens.  This amazing design that I expected to be completed by now is still in the infant stages.  It's almost like someone literally told me to 'Keep Back 200 Feet'.

We all have life moments of clarity. This week was one of them for me. 

Wednesday the Wallingford Fire Department laid to rest their brother, 26 year veteran Firefighter/Paramedic Rick Garrison, in an touching, impressive, and tasteful ceremony.  Rick's laugh was infectious, his smile was contagious and his amazing character was something many men strive to be.  His life was the Job, only second to his beautiful wife and family.  Rick knew how to live life to the fullest, always beaming, always caring and always believing the cup is 'half full'.

I can almost feel Ricks strong hand on my shoulder saying,
'Life's short finish that 'fire cave' for Joe, will ya?!'
Then with his soft tender eyes, he'd continue....
'First, I don't know someone more deserving'
and as his eyes grew wide, and a gentle deep laugh grows in his chest, he'd finish with....
'Second? Can you imagine how jealous the guys will be?!'

It's true, life is too short, we lost Rick much too early.  

Joe would love his own room.....so it's time to get started!  

Here's a sneak peak of what one wall in Joe's 'fire cave' will look like ... 

I'm putting it out there I need some serious strong backs to get this monster into the basement! 

Who's ready to help?! 

This weeks 'Friday for the Guys' is dedicated Wallingfords Bravest. 

 Thank you for all you do and Stay Safe out there!

With the weather being so frightfully cold this week, 

I've been stacking a loading wood into our wood stove at a break neck speed.  

What better way to celebrate our Friday blog, 

but with something cozy and warm, but still masculine. 

Tell me, what's moe manley than a warm rustic cabin in the middle of nowhere? 

Answer? Not much!

Now Paul himself probably wouldn't fit into this handsome escape, although I know a guy or two that would love to have this private little hideaway .....

Cabinspiration

My Prince would think this is just awesome....no it is NOT going to be built in his man cave! 

Although it certainly would be a conversation piece. This indoor outhouse style bath is complete with Saloon Door for a little extra privacy while on the commode!

I'm locking up for the weekend ....... 

heading home to enjoy a quite evening by the wood stove,

just in time I see ..... its starting to snow!

Don't forget to check on on Pinterest

It's time to 

shut down, 

hang up the work clothes, 

abandon the emails 

and relax!  

Come on guys! 

How about grabbing a cold one

 and cheering on the Pats in this Sunday, lounging in this baby!

I'll bring my homemade Nacho dip.......
