With what I think of as real barbecue, the sauce is on the side.
That's how it works in my head.

Allyson, that's awesome! Mine probably wants to be a transformer.
And goddamnit. Devi puked again and has diarrhea AND it happened once outside the box just before she urped. Vet tommorrow, first thing. It's freaking me out. She's my babycat.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Aw, poor Devi! And poor you.

Ultimately, it's not about the sauce. It's about how the meat is cooked. With what I think of as real barbecue, the sauce is on the side.
I'd argue that it's a combo of sauce (or seasoning in the case of dry rubs) and cooking. Though the bland tasteless might-as-well-have-been-boiled ribs in Milwaukee fail to qualify on both counts.
At least the eastern half of Arkansas should be in the black with the Southern states. I've not had barbecue west of Little Rock, but from there east it's indistingushable from the Tennessee variety.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Poor Devi, and poor Sarameg.
My dinner plans people have the flu, so it's going to be another Exciting evening in the life of Lee.
Whee.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I had talapia with roasted potatoes and artichoke. Nummy. But now I just want to lay around and digest....

I had a Kashi frozen dinner -- pasta primevera. It's actually very tasty. Then I had chocolate.
Except for the chocolate I'm on day 4 of no caffeine.

So I'm going to be in Juneau for Halloween. And Anchorage for 2 nights before that. The sun comes up at 9:20 AM on October 30! WTF?
Mmm, barbecue. There's a good chain of southern-style bbq here in Oakland. Yummy pork ribs!

Allyson, I was browsing goodreads.com, and came across a very nice review of your book that started with a long-standing Buffista controversy:
This book does not believe in the serial comma, which irritated the heck out of me. Besides that, it was well-written, friendly, and very enjoyable.Considering this review comes from a non-Buffista, it cracked me up.
