FLORIDA TAKE 2... FISHING TRIP TO STINAHACHIE ...

Here is our wknd..... a little cooking a little fishing ...but let me confess first... I've never been fishing, never really been out on a boat, never ever put my toes in water that I couldn't see the bottom of..but this wknd I did! & I had a great time ...it was an experience I wont forget. But I did leave the fishing up to the experts.

First Catch

Blue Crabs....& Oh and a little Old Bay Seasoning, ... Add an Ice cold Sam Adams

Summer the result = perfection

      After Crab.....It was Rib time...cranking up the grill and eating outside just makes everything taste better don't you think? Well I do and here my friends is a great recipe you must try!

    there was nothing too complex about the recipe...it was very simple . I used a rub mix that was already put together .When I started thinking about making ribs I was trying to come up with the perfect mix of spices, but soon realized the "store bought" mixes are really great and instead of buying 15 different spices they were all in one...

                                                             - BBQ Ribs-
                                                            1-4-6 oz- container dry rub mix
                                                            2 Racks bone in BBQ ribs(not pre-marinated)
                                                            1 Bottle of BBQ Sauce of your choice
                                                            2 tbs olive oil
                                                            Kosher salt & Pepper

                               Place ribs on a large cookie sheet lined with aluminum foil
             rub generously with olive oil, then kosher salt & Pepper , using entire container of dry rub coat both sides very generously...Place in refrigerator over night. The next day preheat oven to 250 degrees, cover ribs with foil and bake for 3 hrs. When done baking remove and preheat outdoor grill to medium setting . baste with BBQ sauce & cook ribs for 7 minutes turning half way through cooking time..these were a huge hit..Ive had many request since ..I will be making these again soon

-Sea Hag Marina-

this is where the fun begins ,everyday this was the first stop..then in the boat we go
