 You've seen your Mom do it. You channel-surfed past the Food Network and saw the Iron Chef swinging Ginzu knives or that perky brunette
throwing a meal together in half-an-hour and figured, "I can do that,
what's the big deal?" Then you realize you don't have a pot to cook in,
and that chips, salsa, and a six-pack of Dos Equis isn't a meal, so you
call for carryout. But there comes a moment that being able to
cook might be important, either because money's tight, or you just
can't take another night of General Tso's chicken. Or, more than
likely, you're having company — a woman, your parents,
whomever. Then what? Well, my man, this is for you.
Sure,
we cooked steak until it was as tough as the sole of a Timberland
boot and sauteed shrimp into shriveled-up rubberbands. But a guy's got
to try to cook. It gives you a leg up on the competition. If
you're saying to yourself, "Me? I can't cook. It's not my thing," we're
going to convince you otherwise. And when the stars align and you
nail a great meal for the right person, you'll realize the benefits of
knowing how to cook. We'll help you with some cookware, the basic
spices to get you started, and some simple recipes that will work.

Ribs give you that opportunity to get in touch with your roots. Your caveman roots. You basically eat unabashedly with your hands, tearing meat with your teeth, getting food all over your face, grunting occassionally, and burping. Just like Christmas dinner at the Brian's house!...joking, I'm joking.Ribs take about two hours to cook so they're the ideal meal for football season. Do your prep work during pregame, put the ribs in the oven at kick-off. Check on them during the commercial breaks after each quarter. Pull them out at the start of the fourth quarter, serve and attack. We call 'em Kickback Ribs because it's so easy to make, you basically put them in the oven and kick back the rest of the afternoon while they meet cooks and you relax. And because our recipe calls for six pounds of ribs, you're not gonna eat all that yourself (otherwise you'll be in the bathroom for so long you won't be able to show up to work 'till Wednesday). It's a great and easy meal to make when you have company over. Just try not to get any sauce on your pelt, ya caveman! |
