Monday Menu: pork ribs, indoors!

Here's a recipe for doing a slab of St. Louis ribs in the oven instead of using a smoker or grill. Bake at 250f for 5-6 hours with a dry rub of turbinado, chili, garlic and onion powder on both sides. Cook until the rack cracks apart when twisted. In hindsight, I should have put aluminum foil on the pan (messy clean up - one of the reasons I don't like to do ribs indoors). They turned out slightly drier than smoked, but not bad at all. Plus, the whole house smells like a barbeque restaurant!
