spare ribs in the oven

My sis parboils ribs to make them more tender, she says.

The best think about knowing how to cook is _______.

I sure envy you all - and all those who are "natural" cooks...like my sister, and my late Grandmother. If I'd paid more attention to how food is prepared than how it tasted when I was a kid, maybe I wouldn't just now be getting interested in cooking (at age 51)! Then again, I don't have any kids...so I didn't really have an incentive to learn. But I find myself nowadays devouring cooking shows and learning the difference between scallions and shallots, what caramelization is, how to oven-smoke a beef brisket and the joys of owning a food processor. Not that I've actually put anything into practice yet, but I'm getting there!

Now - who's gonna invite me over to dinner first? As a teaching tool, of course...LOL!

What made someone "back then" think that this would taste good?

Lobster, crab, shrimp, etc...who looked at these hard-shelled crustaceans and thought "FOOD"??? Although I'm glad they did, I'm also glad I wasn't around when they were first experimenting...LOL!
