I would recommend wearing gloves next time.

Clearly. But in the 4 years I've lived in Prague, I've never encountered a fresh pepper spicy than a mild jalapeno, so it never even crossed my mind that these peppers might be dangerously hot. : /

[MaximumZero]

I...I never knew anything I ate could be that dangerous. Habanero Jack cheese, Lightning Jack cheese and spicy colby cheese all go into nacho-dip.

[Sirus]

The fact that it's mixed in with the cheese probably helps immensely.

A little, but the cheese is about as hot as full power habanero. I can't eat it straight.

Point is, it's still not as bad as getting raw habanero juice on your skin or under your nails.

Point taken, but having made habanero wing sauce from scratch (I used to manage a sports bar,) I honestly didn't think people reacted that way to it. I've had habanero juice under my nails, in cuts on my hands, and in my eyes (that's fucking painful, by the way.)

Huh. You might just have a higher resistance to it.

Like, the spiciest thing I can handle is this honey-chipotle sauce made by a restaurant in town, and even then I have to take frequent breaks in order to have a drink. You must be on the opposite end of the spectrum.

Lightning Jack cheese

Please to clarify. I'm desperately hoping actual lightning is involved, but otherwise just knowing what kind of peppers are involved sounds like it would improve my day.

Nah, it's just smoked colby jack with red and green jalapenos, and sometimes red poblanos.

I bought some ribs. I want to eat these ribs. I've done more research than usual for these since they were a slightly more expensive investment than I'm used to, so I've decided to take advantage of that and put all the best parts of these recipes together into one.

Penguinofhonor's Composite Ribs Recipe
Equipment: oven, slow cooker
Ingredients (ribs and rub): 3-4 pounds ribs (spare, St. Louis style cut), 1 tsp salt, 1 tsp chili powder, 2 tsp pepper, 0.5 cups brown sugar
Ingredients (sauce): 4 cloves garlic (chopped), 1.5 cups chili sauce, 0.25 cups balsamic vinegar, 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce, 0.25 tsp liquid smoke, hot sauce to taste
Ingredients (onion): 1 large onion (sliced into rings)

Cut ribs properly. Make sure they fit in your slow cooker, cutting them in half if necessary. Then take them out and cover them with the rub ingredients. Cook at 400F for 15 minutes to brown, then turn them over and put them back in for another 10 minutes. Remove them and turn off the oven. We won't be needing it where we're going.

Mix all the sauce ingredients together. Drop the onion slices on the bottom of the slow cooker, then drop the ribs in, then pour the sauce over the top. Turn the ribs over after a second to coat them. Cover, then cook on low for 6-8 hours, turning the ribs over occasionally.

Does anyone have suggestions for relatively healthy eating on the road? Obviously, fresh vegetables and fruit are good, but those don't tend to keep well in a hot car.

[penguinofhonor]

The ribs were delicious. Not perfect, but pretty damn good. My roommate was supposed to be flipping them for me and re-covering them with the sauce, but he didn't get home until they were so tender that flipping them just made them fall apart. So half of them weren't quite as flavorful as they could have been.

I haven't eaten the bottom half since that was the spare meat and everyone wanted the ribs first, but it'll probably be way tastier, if a bit gristly.

I do have some changes in the recipe for next time: only use 1/3 cup of brown sugar in the rub and only use 2 tablespoons of vinegar (that's half as much).

[Parsely]

I got this corn flakey stuff that has nuts and honey in it. Its delicious, it doesn't make me feel like crap later in the day like Cap'n Crunch and other cereals do. Plus it comes in a bag. I love bagged cereals!

Breakfast today: Rice omelette

Rice (leftover from dinner): small shallot, 2 cloves of fresh garlic (not dried), small piece of ginger, all minced, sauteed in olive oil, then rice added on top, mixed in, water added, rice cooked as usual with a pinch of salt.

Mix 2 eggs in a bowl (no milk: I'm lactose intolerant and anyway it's unnecessary, just whip them with a  fork until they're fluffy). Pour onto heated frying pan greased with lard. When partially cooked, put some of the rice from last night (refrigerated and shaped with hands to fit the omelette) and put a dab of sriracha on top before folding the omelette in half and cooking as usual.

So delicious.
