Second day on the job. I only spent a half hour getting lost this time. Woohoo! Took the T for a total cost of $4.40. At this rate I will be hitch hiking home.

Today I read up on grilling -- then grilled a few clabs of ribs. After 2 1/2 hours of checking the temp in the grill every 15 minutes (in the freezing cold) the meat was cooked. Tasters sampled the meat with six different sauces. The original sauce was not the favorite. Most tasters preferred test 5 which used the original recipe and substituted brown sugar for white sugar.

The goal is to create an authentic Southern bbq sauce which I learned was a lot thiner and tangier than sauces I am used to.
