So I came home the other day from the dog park and found a package of meat on my front porch labelled pork ribs cut. Kind of wondered where it came from and threw it in my freezer. Next day I came home from the dog park and found a bottle of home made Cabernet Shiraz on the porch, I was beginning to like this trend but began wondering if there might be someone out there wanting to kill me so was a little leery about the wine. The next day I came home from the dog park and found Richard, an old buddy of mine I hadn't seen in a couple years, sitting on my front step. He drives courier and my house is in his new area. He also likes to buy bulk meat orders even though he has a small freezer and ends up giving away whatever doesn't fit in his freezer.

So enough of that.

Thawed out the package the other day and opened it up to see what we had and figure out what to do with them. Turns out we had button ribs.



My brain instantly thought sweet and sour. So put a light coating of rub on them and let them sit in the fridge for about 6 hours



Then onto my kettle for some low and slow action.



Then went inside and made me some sweet and sour sauce.





5 hours later the button ribs looked like this



Tossed the button ribs in the sauce and plated with my home made mushroom fried rice and a couple of spring rolls.



I really liked them but the boss said they would be better without the rub so next time I'll just do salt and pepper on them. Put a few aside for Richard since he was kind enough to supply the meat.

P.S. Came home from the dog park today, yes my life is in a rut, and found 2 boneless skinless turkey breasts on the front porch. I'm beginning to like Richard working in my area :D
 
I once found a bottle of Jack Daniels by my front door, no one ever claimed to have left it there...
I think someone mistaken my house for another :)
and I think I still have it (don't drink Jack)
anyway, great story line Bob and a nice friend and a delicious plated dinner you cooked up!
Awesome!!
 
When I first saw the title I thought maybe you shot a critter on the porch or found one dead..LOL Wish I had friends that would just drop off some meat for no reason.. Cook looks good.
 
Very nice looking cook!!! Must be nice coming hope from the dog park to find out whats on the front porch!!! Its sounds like you have a great friend and wants a little smoked turkey.
 
Bob, the only meat that I have ever found on my front porch was a sparrow that flew into the storm door.

Great looking ribs! How do you make your fried rice? Do you use oyster sauce?
 
Love those ribs Bob, really nice idea. If your buddy ever decides to transfer, Orillia is a nice little community. :)
 
Thanks for the comments. It was great reconnecting with an old friend mind you just about anyone giving me meat would become my friend pretty quick.

Bob H I only use a bit of soy sauce for the rice I keep it simple. Mushrooms, green onions, scrambled egg, garlic and soy sauce to taste.I like the mushroom to be the dominate flavour. Might go buy a bottle of oyster sauce and try that out though it sounds good. I usually use it in my stir frys but haven't done one in quite awhile.
