I made both ribs and peanut butter ice cream, and both of them were a failure.<br \/>\nFor the ribs, I used <a href=\"http:\/\/www.epicurious.com\/recipes\/food\/views\/MEMPHIS-STYLE-RIBS-242248\">this recipe<\/a> for Memphis Style Ribs, from the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Barbecue-Bible-Over-500-Recipes\/dp\/1563058669\/ref=pd_bbs_2?ie=UTF8&#038;s=books&#038;qid=1211764955&#038;sr=1-2\">BBQ Bible<\/a>, a book that has given me many a good recipe.  However, either the instructions of how to cook the ribs were wrong, or I just didn&#8217;t know how to follow them, for I completely burnt them.  They were pretty much inedible.  I still have a rack of spareribs and I will have to find another method for cooking them.<br \/>\nThe problem with the peanut butter ice cream was not the <a href=\"http:\/\/allrecipes.com\/Recipe\/Peanut-Butter-Cup-Ice-Cream\/Detail.aspx\">recipe<\/a>, but me.  I just overcooked the custard base,  This created  a heavy custard with almost (but not quite) a chalky consistency that would not aerate or freeze properly.  The results weren&#8217;t bad per se &#8211; it tastes good &#8211; but it doesn&#8217;t quite have the consistency of ice cream.  Still, I&#8217;m finishing it.  I may try the recipe again sometime, though I&#8217;ll probably look for a simpler one.<br \/>\nTomorrow is Memorial Day and I&#8217;m planning on cooking several things (burgers, chicken, potato salad).  I&#8217;m a little apprehensive now.  Wish me luck!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today was not my day.
