How to make it

---

• ~ Slow Cook Spare Ribs ~
• Place the spareribs in the bottom of a slow cooker. In a medium bowl, whisk together the remaining ingredients.
• Pour the mixture over the spareribs. Cover and cook on low for 6 to 8 hours.
• After that...Serve with the following...
• Hey! You were invited...so no,Who? What? When? Where? How? Why? are allowed :o)
• Great downhome Barbecue Beans with Bourbon in them of course,Slaw,and Texas Toast with an Apricot Slurry.

• Carry on!
• ~ Sweet Tea ~
• Combine the water and sugar in a small saucepan and bring to a boil, stirring to dissolve the sugar. Pour the sugar water into a jar, add the Constant Comment tea bags, and let steep for 5 to 10 minutes, for stronger tea let steep for closer to 10 minutes. Remove the Constant Comment tea bags and add the lemon, lime, and orange wedges. Pour in the bourbon. Cover the jar and chill. Serve in glass of choice and garnish with lemon wheels.
• Note:
• ~ Blanton's Original Single Barrel ~
• "8-year-old"..."12-year-old"..."27-year-old"... Whiskey shelves are filled with bottles bearing numbers that imply the older the liquid, the better. But Blanton's shares their philosophy with R. Kelly: "Age Ain't Nothin' But a Number." The Buffalo Trace Distillery product provides no age declaration on its distinctive parchment-like equator label that surrounds the multifaceted, squat globe bottle. There are still plenty of numbers listed: "This barrel dumped on 3-15-11 from barrel No. 142 stowed in warehouse H on Rick no. 16. Individually selected, filtered and bottled by hand at 93 proof." Although that sounds über-specific, to be fair, all of the bottles are from warehouse H, and they're all 93 proof.
• The Blanton family made Bourbon before the Civil War, but their breakthrough came in 1984 when they introduced the first single barrel Bourbon. Along with variations between bottles caused by each individual barrel being bottled unblended, there are also eight different racehorse and jockey poses on the stoppers. (Collect them all!) When we first pulled our stopper, its toffee-caramel aroma actually caused our spouse to declare, "That smells good!" The reddish-amber Bourbon has a lovely jolt of orange zest and burnt sugar on the palate. Exuding flavors, one sip feels like it fills our entire mouth.
• ~ Five Minute Ice Cream ~
• 10 oz. Package Frozen Sliced Strawberries
• 1/2 Cup Sugar
• 2/3 Cup Heavy Cream
• Combine the strawberries,and sugar in food processor.Process until it is roughly chopped.With the processor running,slowly pour in the heavy cream until fully incorporated.
• Serve immediately,or freeze for up to one week.
• I serve this with my 'Cowboy Cupcakes"...Which would be a chocolate cupcake recipe,and chocolate ganache frosting...Bake your cupcakes,cool,make your ganache frosting.Pipe the frosting on top of the cupcakes.
• Every Cowboy needs his hat...right?
• Well then...Take just as many 'Pringles' as there are cupcakes and turn the Pringles upside down (this will be the brim of the hat)
• With Karo Syrup as glue...cut a length of Red Lace Licorice the same size as the base of a white Gum Drop.
• Place a drop of Karo to the center of the upside down Pringle,place Gum Drop on the Karo Syrup.
• Then wrap the Red Lace Licorice around the base of the Gum Drop that has been circled with Karo Syrup...Now your Cowboy Cupcake has an 'American Made Cowboy Hat' to sit on top.
• Their kinda' neat to look out all lined up in a row.
