My husband had a special recipe for cooking pork short ribs that our family has always loved. He made a big deal about cooking them and now that he is gone, we all try to emulate him with our rib recipes. Several folks have come really close to duplicating that coveted taste. They used the same recipe, the same rubs and sauces, and the same type of grill for cooking. So far it has been, “close, but something is missing?” I figured out what the missing ingredient is…it’s years of love and enduring patience that made “Poppy’s” ribs the best.
