Why are crabs like ribs?

Malam ni we had beef ribs for dinner sebab The Other half yang ditugaskan pergi butcher semalam so terus rambang mata lah dia and he wanted to try to cook ribs. I’ve cooked ribs before but I did it in the oven, slow cooked. We’ve heard so many stories about how nice BBQ ribs are and how juicy and yadda yadda yadda…..

Tu yang The Other Half pun tergoda and beria beli 1.5kg of ribs! Actually bukan salah dia beli banyak macam tu, kat butcher tu cuma jual ribs in big pieces. Ye lah, ribs lembu kan, obviously besar gedabak lah if they cut it lengthway :-). And I guess with ribs, lagi banyak tulang and lemak dari daging.

Tu yang The Other Half asked me lepas dia makan ribs tadi. “So, why are crabs like ribs?” I said, “Because they are both messy to eat. And not much meat/flesh to satisfy my hunger after all those hard work!” Hehehehe….

Tu sebab The Other Half tak suka makan crabs unless ada dayang2 kat tepi yang sudi/sukarela patah2kan the crab legs and scoop the flesh out for him, hikhikhikhik…. Sudah semestinya dayang2 itu bukan I lah!

So, ini lah our dinner tonite, ribs with crusty bread (cooked on the barbie) and sauteed veges.

Tengok lah our juicy ribs ni. Tapi kan we had to throw away half of it kot sebab cuma lemak and bones, hehehe.

We put a tray of water underneath the bread masa tengah masak tu untuk bagi the crust lagi crusty. Miss 11 loves crusty bread :-). She ate probably half of the loaf tadi, hehehe.

We might ask the butcher to cut the ribs into smaller pieces next time :-).

Lama tak beri komen. My husband also does not like to eat crabs because of the same reason. So we hardly eat anything with shells.. hu..hu.

The ribs looks succulent and juicy...yummy.

Saya pun suka sangat makan ribs ni. Memang sedap. Terutamanya bila di BBQ.

Oh ya memang betul lah besar betul ribs tu. Memang kenyang kalau makan semua heheh.

Jaja,
daging2 sekarang pun dah pandai berposing kan! Bukan orang yg makan aje sibuk berposing, hahahaha...

Fiza,
I lagi suka kalau ada orang masakkan untuk I, lagi lah terasa sedap n best nya bila makan tu :-).

Blu4sky,
Kat sini ada jual crabs yg besar2 tu jugak but I can imagine rupa my hbuby kalau I beli so tu yg malas nak beli even though kadang2 mengidam jugak :-). Nasib baik ada jual crab meat kat sini, lagi senang nak makan, hehehe..

Noir,
ribs yg we all bought tu were a bit too big I think to ratah just like that :-). I had to cut it to serve it to the girls, hehehe.
Glad I can put up photos to make you drool :-)

NenekPenne,
nasib baik ada TGIF tu kan. Kalau tak, abis lah you mengidam tak hingat, hehehe

Kak Watie,
tahun ni nya korban, boleh lah masak BBQ ribs lagi. Sure laku! :-)

Melatie,
that's why I buy mussels yang dah di shelled, hehehe. But I kdg2 teringin jugak nak makan crabs ni :-(

SJB,
I guess BBQ ribs are the norm kan in Canada? :-). Kat sini pun ramai suka mkn BBQ ribs, we all aje yang tak pernah, hehehe

Eenza,

Kak Ummi,
