I found a place in Memphis that has the best ribs that I've ever eaten. Now, I've never before seen the appeal of eating ribs. Most of the ones that I've had in the past were not worth the effort it took to get what little meat there was off of them. They were either lacking in meat or had large amounts of fat on them. But these, these were HEAVENLY. So if you're ever in Memphis, you NEED to go to Cozy Corner. Of course, I was only able to eat two ribs, but they were DELICIOUS.

Yummmm, ribs are so yummy.

i hope I can eat them if I get my lap band.

Doh.. I saw the title and came bounding over here for a recipe!

You need to stop by here Laurend next time you're down south!

That would be awesome! Seriously, we need to get a bunch of the LBTers together. Just not in the next month or so, 'cause I'm already about to pull my hair out because of stress. Hell, it wouldn't take much, it's already shedding like mad because I'm about to freak out, between grad school, teaching, and looking for jobs.

Lauren, I love pork ribs. Good job on the weight loss!

Thanks, Julie!

You're welcome! How is your restriction? You losing 1-2 lbs a week? You must be down a size or 2 now?

Best place EVER for ribs is in North Carolina, callled Wilber's. When Bill was president, he ate there often. The town got closed down for a 5 mile radius near it. It sucked because he ate there all the freaking time, lol...and I never could when he was there!

BTW, shouldn't WE BOTH be studying??? lol...

My restriction is pretty good, I think. I can eat just about anything (other than lots of soft bread, anyway). I'm just over 5 months out (as of yesterday), so I'm averaging between 1-2 pounds a week. Of course, sometimes I lose several very quickly and then wait a few weeks before I lose anymore, but I'm happy with it. Yep, I'm down a size, to an 18, and I'll be at a 16 in a few more pounds (my pants are pretty loose, but the 16s are still a little tight).

I should be, but I felt like taking a break. I can only read ornithology textbooks for so long before I go crosseyed. :faint:

Abnormal psych actually sounds pretty interesting.

The exams I'm taking are my grad school comprehensive exams (taken after all course-work for the degree is finished), so I've gotta do well or else I won't be getting my degree next year. Nice bit of pressure, huh?

Uck....another reason I do not want to go to grad school, but I need to...blah...

Grad school's worth it, I think. For the most part, it's been enjoyable, with only a few moments of true "tear your hair out" stress. You get to take all the interesting classes in grad school!

I hear ya on the Memphis ribs!!! I went back in August (pre-band) and OMG were they good!!! Don't you just LOVE Beale street? I had so much fun. I had never been there, but want to go again.
