Why it happened -InstantPot
Why it makes me happy -it worked!!! I am not sure I have ever made ribs before (I know...shhhh ...around the Man Card police). I just hear of all of the labor that goes on around the Traeger to make "perfect ribs." Were these perfect? Probably not. Are they perfect after being on the grill for however long the smokers do it? Probably not. These were deeeelicious! I can attest

HappyUP!!! - Howard Jones
Why it happened -I went
Why it makes me happy -great seats...great venue...great drive in and out. Man, I didn't realize/appreciate how big a part of my music fabric that he was. Great entertainer as well. Just the right amount of crowd work and music. Tight band!
