With a blizzard on the way, I made a big pot of Guiness beef stew last night. Today I'm slow-roasting some thick, meaty ribs in the oven (Alton Brown's "Who Loves Ya, Baby Back?" recipe). Many bbq aficionados would not approve of cooking ribs in the oven, but with all the snow and wind swirling around outside, we can't even see the grill, much less use it.
