Tweet saying: My bf was slow cooking ribs and I guess they were done in the middle of the night. So this man wakes me up at 3 am and goes “here babe, i brought you a rib.” So we sat in bed and ate ribs. I’ve found my soulmate.

      It’s a hobby thing, is this really that big a a deal ?

      Yes, I get up in the middle of the night to swap 3D printing filament spools. Don’t judge me like that.

      For some people 3am is just before bed and time for final dinner. It is for me when I don’t have to work a schedule.

        FINAL dinner? How many dinners are there? Today I ate a sandwich out of a vending machine. That’s my daily food. 1 sandwich.

        Meanwhile you’re over here like BOOM BABA BOOM BABA BOOM BOOM BOOM!!! THE WHOLE EARTH MOVES WHEN HE WALKS IN A ROOM!

      Sounds like they both enjoyed the ribs right then, so I would say that that’s perfect planning. Probably some left for breakfast as well

      Might be they didn’t have time to start earlier (work, other life stuff). If you’re prepared to wake up in the night then I don’t think there’s anything wrong with the planning.

        Slow cooking ribs can take from between a handful of hours to three days. Depends on the method. Still something you should be able to plan around.

        But hey. Mid night ribs sounds awesome!

          Central Texas barbecue places will usually do them in 8 hours, which is a lot faster than the brisket (26 hours).
