Who else is getting tired of "Dream Along With Mickey" being played at the Magic Kingdom? It's been there for almost 9 years at this point. I hope that if Walt Disney World celebrates it's 50th Anniversary in 2021. They might make a new show along with a new nighttime parade and daytime parade.

So I did something idiotic today. I bought a package of spare ribs, and a bottle of barbecue sauce, and I figured I'd be able to put them on the barbecue grill (I have charcoal) and cook them for dinner. A little while ago, I thought I should look up on the internet about how long to cook them, as I've never cooked spare ribs before. Well . . . I've never seen so much confusing cooking information about anything before. Some recipes say to boil them at first; others say not to. Some tell you to slow cook them for 6 hours (too late to do that for dinner tonight), some say to cook them in the oven for a while before, and then grill them. Some say just to cook and/or broil them in the oven.

Hence, I need to figure out something tomorrow from all these convoluted directions, when I have more time. I just told hubby we're having grilled cheese sandwiches, and tomato soup for dinner. :rolleyes: He said, "What??!! :jawdrop: I thought you told me that we were going to have delicious, barbecued spare ribs??!! " :bawling: (He was right; I did say that . . .). "Um . . . slight change in plans . . . " :hilarious:

I always boil mine first, then Hubby finishes them off on the barbecue.
Fall off the bone tender, and guaranteed to be cooked all the way through. Win, win.

That seems to be the accepted way and they usually always come out good. I don't do them myself because we are not allowed grills here in the deluxe apartments in the sky. My son-in-law makes some great ribs though. If I had known that when they were first engaged, I would have been less skeptical about the man.
Who am I kidding. He was having evil thoughts and intentions concerning my baby girl. I'm so glad that she opted for virgin births all three times. She's a good girl.

All AWESOME pics again, @betty rose!!!
Thanks for sharing...! :)

ETA: The Jungle cruise "back side of water" pic reminds me of a pool for a home design I worked on this week.
It will have an upper pool with a water slide from it to a lower pool. The upper pool will have a waterfall into the lower pool with a grotto behind the waterfall. Their own personal back side of water..!!! :joyfull: :)

Sorry to jump in but needing help and looking for opinions.

We've had a Sam's Club membership for 10 years. It just expired and a Costco opened today in our town. I checked it out - still torn. Anyone out there who has done both, can you give opinion on which you prefer and why? Costco has better quality (it seems) but not as much quantity for the price of Sam's (so far as I see)... Thoughts?

I had both memberships for a while. I now only have only Sam's. I liked Costco's fresh produce better, they take better care of it and their prepared meals are better. Sam's is closer to us but Costco isn't exactly a haul so that played into it a little. What it came down to is the items I continuously buy are a bit cheaper at Sams an they seem to have more choices in the bulk items like chips, candy and snacks. Costco seems to have a more pleasant staff and more customer service oriented. Sam's I can go to and they have 3 people checking ya out and the line is 10 deep.
I have a business membership so I can go in from 7-10 or have them pull everything I want and just pay for it, problem is I seem to never get there for business hours. So being happy enough with both I went with Sam's.

I'm sure she would agree with that statement, partially. She is pretty into exploring the back yard and gets a little bummed when she can't. I have a basic summer routine and she knows that hammock/outside time is around 2 pm, she starts getting really antsy around that time. :)

There's is just a BJ's and Sam's in my area. The nearest Costco to me is 2 hours away I think but I've never been in one. Or seen one....except from the highway in DC.

My parent's had a Sam's membership but switched to BJ's when they could have a free one (I worked there) and still have one. Sam's is a dirty club version of WalMart. The store near me closed down without warning, knocked down and then rebuilt years later on the same spot. But hey, they're owned by WalMart, knocked off points right there.

It would great if they and supermarket could sell alcohol but they can't. Stupid state laws.

We have both BJ's and Costco fairly close by. BJ's is less then a mile away. I like it better then Costco because not only are they competitive but they offer more variety. For example, Peanut Butter. They have Jif and Skippy and they are priced the same whereas Costco usually carry's only one brand, Plus, they also take coupons. Costco does not. They don't have hot dogs at the snack bar that are as good as Costco's though. Small sacrifices.

I really don't remember the taste of regular peanut butter. Peter Pan, Jif and Skippy. I always buy these.

Well my husband went to check it out and he fell in love with their meat. (Well, that just sounded weird).

We've been on a very low carb/Ketosis diet and our groceries consist of meat, seafood, veggies and some fruits. They have better quality so we decided to try it for 1 year. Because he's military we get a TON of extra coupons that may come in handy this year.

Thanks everyone for the suggestions!
