The guests didn't show up.

I barbecued last week for friends (?) and they cancelled last minute on me, about an hour after I put ribs in the smoker. This was after they asked me to push it back a day, too. I was fine with that since it got me out of cooking in the rain and let the ribs sit in their rub overnight instead of for a few hours, but the original day was supposed to be 100% good as was the replacement. So needless to say, I was not and am not happy. 

Anyways, here is what they missed out on:



Smoked back ribs. This batch turned out very well too.



Maple sweet potatoes, broccoli, and oatmeal chocolate chip cookies (with a mix of different chips - 2/3 semisweet and 1/3 milk chocolate).



And a fire in the back yard after since it was beautifully mild, almost like spring, evening despite being the first week of November.

I gave a bunch of cookies away to several of the neighbours but nobody was interested in the ribs since everyone had their own dinner plans pretty well along by that point, but a friend called me up and took a rack later in the evening when we went for coffee after the fire burnt out.

Some friends. I won't be inviting them back.

Looks like some folks missed out on a great time. Sorry to hear it, man. Looks like a real bud came through though.

Everything looked great.  We have been having some nice weather lately. It was their loss.

Man those look good! I would like to show them that pic so they see what they missed.

You need to send them a picture to show them what they missed out on.  Then next time feed them some canned spaghetti.

As a Christmas present, send them Emily Post's book on etiquette.

I would have ate so many of them ribs you would have to use a chainsaw to cut the door opening wider just to get me out the door.

[MrHoss]

The ribs looks worthy. Like HFG I would have eaten my share. A little or a lotta tug or fall of the bone...I care not really.

Hey Lightning. That sucks man. Some people have no idea how much effort goes into a cook like that...some do and don't care. I once had a friend and his wife come over for a smoked prime rib dinner only to have them poke me for having as many Webers as I do.....repeatedly....even when the smoke started pouring out my ears.

I am down the road in London. You ever need someone to appreciate the effort just drop me a line. I got me some Webers too.

Poking the folks hosting you for dinner? Last minute bail? Some people just don't get it. Awesome cook!

Their loss....

It's happened to me too.  Sometimes they don't have the courtesy of calling.  That never happened when I was growing up.  The newer generation missed some lessons in manners and edicate.  Great looking ribs!  Their loss.

That sucks. Those ribs do look good.
