I'll tell you what, it was first and second season quality. The final episode is going to have to be damn special.

Chris, What's the secret to the brining? I made up some sauce this past weekend... heavy on the onion and granny smith apples with a bit of zing... and so much vinegar that you can't stick your head over the pot while it's cooking down. Got a big jar left over and would love to do up some ribs just like the Hole In The Wall. Never did ribs at home as I've always considered it to be a holy grail of sorts. Vint, this was the first time I tried this particular recipe, and I must admit they came out pretty damn good. The next day they were even better, the key is the indirect heat while cooking. If you've got a charcoal grill throw a drip pan in the middle and place the coals around the outside. Another recipe I saw advised to cook them in tin foil for the first hour or so. They always say the success is in how they are cooked, and not to put the sauce in until the last 5-10 minutes of grilling. I'll post the whole recipe for you tommorrow as I'm not sure if I can remember all of it. I'll also post the other recipe ( ribs in foil) as well. The brine goes something like this. 36 oz. beer of your choice, I used Sam Adams. 3 tbsp Brown Sugar 3 tbsp - Kosher Salt 1 tbsp - Celery Seeds 1 tbsp - Ceyenne Pepper 1 1/2 tsp Fresh Ground Black Pepper 1 tsp Liquid Smoke (optional, but I did it.) Cut the ribs into two piece portions, throw them in a big zip-lock bag, pour the brine over and let them site for 6 hours in the fridge. More tommorrow, and I'll make any corrections to the above if I'm not right on. Grill covered for 1 1/2 to 1 3/4 hours until tender.

I grilled some babyback ribs last weekend. Marinated for 6 hours before in a beer brine.

Yes, congratulations, Charlie. Congratulations, Jim, to your and the wife as well. I attended my nephew's graduation lastnight. He's the oldest of the kids, so naturally he was the first. I must admit I was extremely proud. The kid is as great of a student as he is a person. The school presented him with a special award during the ceremony. I realized at that time, they don't stay little punks forever. It's tough to a hug a kid that towers over you by more than 8 inches, but I managed.

This is what I found. "During 1959 and '60, Tina was the understudy for Jackie McLean in Jack Gelber's play The Connection, which was presented by The Living Theater. The pianist, composer, and musical director was Freddie Redd."

That's a good question. I think it opened in 1959.

Ted Knight.

Makes me think of another beauty in a supporting role.

Lon, my man, you are so right. I liked the show, but I loved Stephanie Kramer.

Frank: "Let me understand, you take the hen, the chicken and the rooster. The rooster goes with the chicken. So who`s having sex with the hen? Mr Ross: "They`re all chickens. The rooster is having sex with all of them." Frank: "That`s perverse!"

Howard McNear.

RT, Landesberg is a perfect example. Another great from Barney Miller was Jack Soo. Two from the Bob Newhart show that always cracked me up. Howard Borden played by Bill Daily. Hi Bob! Jack Riley who played Bob's patient, Elliot Carlin.

Or, your name and password.

I think you can post from any computer.

Track 5 on disc one, oh man, I bought that cd when I saw those guys perform in Phoenix with the symphony a few summers ago. The problem is I don't think I ever listened to it, and I know I don't have it anymore.

Absolutely.

That makes you one strange dude.

Yea drink, as if we were teenagers again! B)
