I am English and my hubby is from the South so in our house he is always the one to do ribs (not a traditional thing in the UK at all). Yesterday was 4th July and he was working so I decided to treat him with ribs as a surprise. I followed the recipe and the advice I saw from others and it was fab!! He was so surprised and pleased (maybe even miffed that I did so well. LOL). The top rack on our bbq does not work well though, and so could not cook them that way. Instead I put 4 medium potatoes on the grill and laid the ribs on top of them. It kept the ribs away from direct heat until the last 20 mins or so, and then I scooped the inside out for mash! I think the flavor of the rub was just to my taste. Delicious.

I am not even sure where to start with this review. I noted others and cut the meringue mix down by one egg white and it was still way too much, so I decided to pipe it onto parchment paper instead of putting it into a pie dish. When I tried to move it onto a serving dish it crumbled like crazy. How it would have been in a dish I can't imagine. I used key lime juice instead of lemon but the flavor was very thin and watery - it had no depth to the flavor. I played around with it and added more lime and a little more liquid sugar but it just ended up like some nasty instant pudding mix. I am going to crumble the meringue and fold it into whipped cream and serve with strawberries. Taste good but not the special pie I wanted for Easter. Gonna go now and make Chantals cheesecake! Sorry bout this but it is an expensive mistake.
