BBQ At Geoff’s

Geoff’s summer cookout was always the highlight of the calendar.

The community would gather for mirth, merriment, mead and the best baby back ribs anyone had ever tasted.

Word inevitably got out. Every year neighbours would bring friends and whilst they were clearly having a great time enjoying Geoff’s gluttony of exotic, tender meats, they were often never seen again. 

I mean, sure, Geoff was a cannibal, and yes he did have a tendency to fatten his diners, and OK he never really let anyone leave in a hurry. But man were those baby back ribs were to die for.

    Sounds like Sweeney Todd has relocated and changed his name. Wonderful, macabre spin on the image, Mr Binks.

    Especially good with some fava beans and a nice chianti.

    Remind me often and loudly never to come to your neighbor’s house for ribs.

    I’m thinking, for word to get out some of the guests had to, as well 😉

    Oy. That’s enough to make me consider becoming a vegetarian. Almost.
