Baby Back Ribs for turn-in. What does that box look like?

We're doing a Rib Cook Off Association comp this weekend, and one of the turn-ins is baby backs. A requirement of the RCOA is that the box has to close. There's no garnish in RCOA, so maybe I'm worried about nothing, but I'd like to see y'all's baby back boxes...

Pic is from the last comp we did baby backs, and we were lucky enough to line them up, but are any of ya'll stacking them? How do they not fall over?

This past weekend's chicken practice. We're new to thighs and still need to work a bit on shaping, but they came out juicy and the skin was good. (Took 30 minutes longer than we expected, buuuuuut, we'll work on it, lol)

HELP!!! We're near Whitesboro, TX and we just picked up a rib burn next Saturday. Where do I find competition level ribs (preferably Prairie Fresh) in Northern Texas? I'm willing to drive a few hours.

Photo for attention.

We catered Burnt Ends at a Sweet 16 last night.

I'll be honest, I was nervous about them holding in the hot box and staying melt-in-your-mouth soft 😬

There was no reason to worry. They were perfect and gone. 💪 💙

This panzanella was perfect for the hot holiday and took advantage of heirloom tomatoes grown locally!

1.5 - 2 lbs mix of ripe tomatoes
1 garlic clove, crushed
1½ tbsp capers, drained and rinsed
1 ripe avocado, peeled and chopped
1 small red onion, very thinly sliced
175g ciabatta, or crusty loaf
4 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
2 tbsp red wine vinegar
small handful basil leaves

DIRECTIONS
Roughly chop the tomatoes and put them in a bowl. Season well and add the garlic, capers, avocado and onion, and mix well. Set aside for 10 mins.

Meanwhile, tear or slice the ciabatta into bite-sized chunks and place in a large serving bowl or on a platter. Drizzle with half the olive oil, half the vinegar and add some seasoning. When ready to serve, pour over the tomatoes and any juices. Scatter with the basil leaves and drizzle over the remaining oil and vinegar. Give it a final stir and serve immediately

Buttery, golden bread meets creamy ricotta, feta, and spinach in this Greek-inspired Grilled Cheese Sandwich!
