The Rib-Off

The Day Family

Annual

This has become an annual event in Mo's side of the family.  We all used to go to the Labour Day Long Weekend Ribfest at Burlington's Lakeshore Park.  But gradually more of the family participated and the lines at the Ribfest got longer, so we decided to do our own.


Each adult couple provide either one or two racks of ribs and their special sauce (many special secret ingredients) and take turns at the barbeques at Gary and Bonnie's place.  Voting takes place and there is a winner and a special Rib-Off plaque for 1st place.           

Mo and I adding our sauce.  Mine is very spicy, his fairly mild.

Too much fire!

Nine different saucy ribs.

One of each, then cast your vote.

Winners!  1st Jimmy (middle), 2nd Bonnie & Gary (left), tied for 3rd Mike and Ben.

Thanks Gary and Bonnie for being great hosts to this Annual event.  Same time next year....????

Ribfest

My friend's family get together for a competitive Rib Fest, usually on the Labour Day long weekend. Each family brings a rack of ribs and their favourite, secret sauce and we have a cook off! This happened on Monday and we sat around the pool from about 3pm to 7pm having a great time. Of course it wasn't just ribs, it was corn on the cob, salad, baked beans, garlic toast and a cake. It was also my friend's birthday, so that was incorporated into the day's fun. Here's a picture of the cake.
