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.
That just shows poor planning from his side.
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.
That's fine, but you wake me up to tell me about it at 3am, we are not soul mates. You are dead man walking, later, after I've had some coffee.
Yes, more unwanted soulmates for me! I'll take them all
You wake me up at 3am with something you've cooked that you're excited about, you bet your sweet ass I'm sitting up, having a mung of them and telling them how awesome it is. I love sharing in things people are excited about, even if I have no real interest in it, I just want to be part of your excitement.
Can I tell you about my favorite Linux distro for a min?
Please do.
You typically don't eat your 3d prints though. I hope...
No, but like slow-cooked ribs, it's a hobby that requires either good planning or a flexible sleep schedule
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.
3am? That's when I do my best work.
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.
Ribs are what 4 or 5 hrs? Why did he start right before going to sleep?
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).
Sleep is like the most important thing in life for my partner, this would be absolutely verboten
No, it's a rib, not a vertebrae!
What does Verstappen have to do with this? How did we even get to talking about F1 drivers?
Knowing that about your partner brings you closer to soulmate status. In the OP, knowing that she would be happy he brought her ribs and then executing it is what made it cute.
Verboten.
Forbidden, especially by an authority.
What a lovely new word I learned.
It has always been a cute story, but the sheets face ruin.
I’m a firm believer of snacking in bed, usually while watching tv. But there are certain types of food that are allowed, for exactly this reason. This is not one of those foods.
Maybe it was on a plate and he also brought a big napkin, and followed up with a hot wet washcloth. The one that already has a stain.
I have a big foldable tray with legs, just for the occasion like that. Very helpful.
My wife and I literally eat in bed 99% of the time using little tray things like that. A dangerous game to be sure, but very comfy :D
I need to build something like that, just for this purpose. Out of wood of course. Need to find some plans somewhere...

Thank you I'll add it
First words Adam said to Eve. Same feelings. Can't wait till a snake offers her an apple.
Cooking delicious food for people is one of my favorite ways to demonstrate affection.

There. We're friends now.

Pffft.

I may be alone in this but I don't lik how a pressure cooker impacts the texture opposed to a traditional slow roast. I am constantly making pulled pork with a pork shoulder bone in and the pressure cooker the meat has a weird consistency. It's tougher. Not a fan.
Pulled pork = slow cooker
Ribs = pressure cooker
I'm with you.
For meat, I generally prefer dry heat. If we're doing low and slow, I like slow roasted in the oven, or smoked in an outdoor smoker. If it's fast heat, like steaks, I prefer it over charcoal. Or burgers on a griddle.
For things where wet cooking works better (steam, poach, braise), a pressure cooker can be a good substitute, but even then I generally prefer the control that comes from being able to add ingredients at different times, open the lid to check on things, adjust temperature or seasonings as necessary, etc.
Basically I very rarely use my pressure cooker. It's fine for making stocks, and is fine for making beans quickly from dried, but it's almost never my first choice for any main.
Lemme get one. One rib.
Sleepy breakfast ribs sounds great to me 🤤
Needless cruelty and violence against vulnerable individuals is not wholesome unless you just block that shit out of your head so you can keep doing it.
Man. Every time I read an unsolicited comment like this, I get moved a bit more to the "optics matter" camp.
If someone is interested, they will ask. And if they ask, you get to camly explain your thoughts and feelings.
That's how I managed to get everyone to think of the “haha, my food eats your food” guy in my social circle as the weird “berates people for their personal choices” guy, rather than me. He brought it up in the most childish, naive way, and I got to be the adult in the room.
And that stuck. A bunch of my friends lost their fear of meat alternatives, because of me wordlessly picking the meat alternative from the fridge in the grocery store, while picking things out for the BBQ. People do notice these things. And some will copy you, if you seem cool enough to copy.
I initially didn't even notice that he was referring to eating meat and was just thinking what is this guy talking about
Found the part pooper
Makes up for the one that was taken from him amirite
