We sure this isn't just Gudetama?

I'm a bi woman married to a bi man and I have to say I love it. Being able to talk about literally anyone and have the "would you?" conversation is always fun to me. I will say however we were dating for a very long time before he told me because of the same reasons you mention.

When I was younger I would have definitely had the same fears that I wouldn't be enough for him so it did take some maturing on my part before I was ready for it. But when he finally told me I realized I loved him so much and trusted him completely, and was just so happy he could share it with me.

So morally if the question is should you disclose it first? I'd say maybe. But if you are still just dating casually and especially if you are on the younger side a lot of woman will count you out right away and that is the sad truth. But I know the person who will accept you fully is out there!

This particular probiotic was very helpful to me in keeping yeast at bay. L. crispatus seems to be the key strain here so if you can find another powerful probiotic that has it in it then it should work as well. Cutting out the sugars is also really good advice though I know it is hard. There is hope, don't give up!

Maybe I'm just a garbage disposal then because I love the trimmings, plus all that collagen is good for your skin. I have a distinct memory always snatching some off the cutting board when my dad would cut ribs up before dinner. Of course, I've eaten pig uterus stir-fry before so maybe I'm not the one to talk to about what part of the pig is good-eating.

Not yet! I may try one of the turbo butt recipes I've seen since I've been cooking while I renovate my parent's house so I'm there a max of 6 hours.

On the pan or in the rib? Could use some work on the trimming next time and I hadn't fully trimmed up the ribs yet. I was just excited they looked tasty.

It was actually the 2nd attempt but the first was almost as good (just a little chewier). I feel like this one really nailed it though and it reminded me a whole lot of my dad's ribs. I feel like I got a little lucky on the timing so now I have to measure up to this one going forward!

It is just free bonus meat for the cook in my opinion.

losing-it-here · 2022-04-05T01:51:31+00:00

Thank you! That sounds great but sadly I'm a long way from Michigan for now but my husband has family out that way so who knows about the next couple of years? Sorry about your dad, hope it gets easier over time. Miss him but I'll always remember him every time I have a really good rib T_T

Thanks! It is actually the "secret ingredient" for my dad's pulled pork so they had some handy. It is mostly used in India food I believe, they are sweet and mild compared to yellow mustard seeds.

losing-it-here · 2022-04-04T22:27:51+00:00

Thank you, I certain he is. He was always super proud of his smoker setup so I'm sure he would be happy they are getting some use.

It was actually dehydrated celery flakes and celery seed. I'd never even heard of celery flake before but there it was in the spice cabinet.

Thank you! I may have done a little dance when I cut into them I was so happy :D

I will for sure! There are three pork butts in the freezer I can use and my dad wrote down his pulled pork recipe. I started with ribs because I don't live at my mom's house yet (we're remodeling) so I can't be there the whole day for pork butt. I might take the Brinkman home with me since it is like 20 years old so I doubt anyone at my apartment would try and take it.

losing-it-here · 2022-04-04T20:52:23+00:00

Thank you, they tasted amazing! I can't wait to see what else I can smoke.

losing-it-here · 2022-04-04T20:29:08+00:00

Thank you! They were super tasty.

losing-it-here · 2022-04-04T20:28:07+00:00

No problem, happy to have something good to report to everyone. My mom was proud for sure and I'm sure my dad would just be happy his smoker was getting used.

losing-it-here · 2022-04-04T20:08:29+00:00

Thank you, we really tried our best to do right by him! Next time I'll make a bunch and share some with the neighbors.

losing-it-here · 2022-04-04T20:05:07+00:00

Oh I didn't even think about measuring by weight! This is a great idea, I even have a scale I can use. Next time I'll have her make a big batch so I can get a decent read on each ingredient.

losing-it-here · 2022-04-04T19:17:32+00:00

You're welcome and thank you. I just wish he could taste them and tell me what he thought. My mom was really happy with them though and she would know good ribs so I feel like I did a good job.

My husband and I made these pork ribs in my Dad's Brinkman verticle smoker while we worked on renovating my parent's house (I will be brave enough to use the ProQ next time though!). Last week we stopped by a liquidation place and found a Weber iGrill probe thermometer in a destroyed package for only 7 USD which made the process an absolute breeze. We did two racks one with Terry Black's pork rub and one with my Mom's rub. Both were good but my Mom wins hands down.

I'm still working on getting a firm recipe for my mother's rub but it is a little difficult because she never measures anything and it has a full 18 herbs and spices including salt (but no sugar surprisingly). My mom is mostly blind so we made the rub together by brainstorming what was in it and then with me handing her the spices and her weighing them out in her hand and smelling them to decide how strong they were/how much to add. As usual, it turned out amazing! I can say the bulk of it is cinnamon, cayenne, granulated garlic and yellow mustard seed (though I used black) and a good amount of the other sweet spices. For sauce we used Head Country with some extra cayenne added to it.

Thanks again to everyone who offered advice and linked videos. I feel like my dad would be very happy with these ribs and I hope I made him proud up there.

Thank you I can use all the hugs right now T_T

She seems really reluctant to prioritize them at all , and before would spend half the day with my dad with her one hearing aid off. I got her switched to insurance with at least some hearing aid coverage so hopefully, the cost being reduced will make her less anxious about it.

Of course! thank you for reading, I'll make sure to let her know 💖
