  • Wikipedia functionally ended the market for encyclopedias. When I was a kid I would go to the library and read an encyclopedia just to see what random knowledge was in there. Traveling salesman would sell encyclopedias door to door and they were hugely expensive. Then Encarta came along and it was mind blowing you could have all that information on some CDs. Then Wikipedia killed all of them and did it for free.

    When computers began to take hold in middle class homes, one of the biggest gold rushes was to be the encyclopedia of choice on the computer, since consumers saw encyclopedia software as an obvious (and maybe best!) use case for a computer.

    So it’s probably been a decade since I did back ribs. I’ve just always done spare ribs, but I saw a nice sale on back ribs and figured sure what the hell.

    I’ve always taken the silverskin off. Once I didn’t and I remember getting comments about it, like the mouth feel was a little tough there. This time I went to grab it to yank it off and it was super thin and barely there, so I just said screw it and left it on.

    For whatever reason, it was great. Just a crackly little bite on the back side of the rib that came off cleanly. I think the thinness of the skin certainly helped it and if I saw it that thin again, I’d leave it on again.
