Depends on how you at cooking then I suppose. Baby backs work better of you are cooking them in a slow oven.

T, I do almost all of my ribs in a slow oven and I still like the St. Louis cut. Baby backs are good, don't get me wrong, but given the choice...
- Derrick
I wondered about that, Tiffany! They're coming at it from a pit BBQ perspective. They did say that spares are meatier, but I have loved my fair share of baby backs.

#SaturdayFF in college my friend scored tix to u2's zoo tv tour, but the seats were behind the stage, upper level. did not care, too excited. we went early so i could get tshirts for my friends. made our way up to the seats. as we were sitting there some cops came by and swapped our tickets with those they got off scalpers outside (busted!).
Rolled out of bed at 10 am, put out some fires with my kids, made coffee, and have commenced friendfeeding in earnest. :)

I've never used cheesecloth. Do I have to wash it before first use? Once I'm done using it can I toss it in the washer or is it a one-time use kind of thing?
Must admit, I tend to think of Who's Who publications/registries from Marquis as in one (entirely legitimate and worthy) class...and all the others as different. WWINAE definitely isn't Marquis. But if they don't ask for a fee, it may be an actual honor.
- Walt Crawford
thanks for distinguishing them for me, walt. i had lumped them all into the "scam" category.

There may be others that aren't scams, but Marquis most definitely isn't.

our local food bank and local women's shelter. mostly material items to those (supplies are seriously short in this rotten economy). as for larger organisations? Planned Parenthood got some doremi from us recently as did American Heart Association. there's others.

I have a memorial registry set up at Heifer in honor of my mother. I also have donated items to the SPCA thrift store in Sacramento. Doctors without Borders (sounds much cooler en francais), Habitat for Humanity, ADRA (they frequently match donations), Planned Parenthood (the one I use will take donations directly). I will definitely do another event to get items for Maryhouse, which is part of Loaves & Fishes here in Sacramento.

You can use http://www.charitynavigator.org/ to check out a charity if you're not sure about it. Local charities are also a good bet because you can get to know them and find out if their priorities line up with yours.

someone trying to schedule a work meeting with me says, "all hours between 9am and 4pm, excepting the lunch hour, are booked for the next few weeks." dude, i know. I KNOW.
Crock pot experiment: carrots, cauli, chix thighs, sauce made with fresh thyme, lemon zest and juice, minced shallots and garlic, boullion and soy sauce, with fingerlings on top. Results in 7 hours. Stay tuned!
whoa, this is awful. the cauliflower is truly terrible. luckily, i only have 5 more meals of it to get through.
- Marie
Oh, bummer. I've had bad luck with cauliflower in the crock pot - stuff in that family seems to go really off when cooked too long. :(
- Jennifer Dittrich
huh. That's surprising! What do you think makes it terrible? (thank you for saying so, because I was going to make something based on it)
- RudĩϐЯaЯïan
i don't even like the way the baby carrots taste, so i don't know if it's the sauce or the cauli just infected everything. :( the potatoes, which perched on top of everything just to steam, taste awesome, so that's good.
- Marie
I'd guess it is the cauliflower, honestly - the recipes where I've accidentally cooked it too much seem to just be all icky. At least the potatoes turned out, so you've got that.
