I do something like this a few times a year
>ribs
>canned tomatoes
>onion/celery/carrot/garlic
>some stock, or red wine, or both fuck it
>some anchovy
>a bit of honey...or molasses or whatever
>spices....allspice works well
>salt/pepper
Preheat oven to 275. Rub ribs down with salt and spices, then brown in a hot pan. Once well browned, set aside in an oven proof dish, then add mirepoix to the pan, cook until translucent. Add anchovy, then honey. Add in tomatoes, slightly crushing them by hand. Cook until lightly reduced. Pour sauce over ribs. Return pan to heat and deglaze with stock/wine. Add to ribs/sauce. Cover oven dish with aluminum foil and cook for about 2-3 hours, until very tender. Once tender, remove aluminum foil and raise oven to 400. Cook until well browned on top. Serve with mashed potatoes

I've never cooked on one, but i'd give it a try just out of curiosity.
I'm just not a fan of electric stoves in general, no matter how advanced or fancy they get.
Give me a nice gas flame to cook over and i'm comfy as fuck.
I like being able to see the size and color of the flame, so I have exact control over it.
It takes out all of the guesswork needed, because every single electric stove is different, and every gas range is exactly the same. Fire makes the same heat around the world.

(..unless you live on top of a mountain or some shit where the air pressure apparently messes with your boiling point)

84' here. I have no idea where I am on the scale. Somewhere where apathy and cynicism lives.
I buy everything generic, and ignore every advertisement and shitty 'sale' that tries to trick you into buying 2 of something for a slightly lesser price.
The country was fucked before I got here, and it'll be fucked when I leave. Anyone who tries to fix it gets fired or shot in the fucking head, so why bother? Though i'm sure my generation will still get blamed for it somehow.
I despise the american 'dream', I think college is a joke, and I think student loans are a test to see who's actually retarded enough to take out thousands of dollars they'll have to work a quarter of their lives to pay back.

I get the same feeling when I put some chicken or beef into a crock pot without any other liquids, and somehow they cook and get just as moist with thier own juices.
Making some slow cooked bbq chicken right now, actually.
Its still got a few hours to go, but its making my whole place smell amazing.

I'm also still curious how the hell crockpots actually work without burning anything.
I mean, I know it just 'works', but I still remember being nervous as fuck the first time I left mine on when I went to work.
