Juicy, flavorful, moist, and tender, Air Fryer Ribs are the perfect dinner to whip up this week. So much flavor from the sauce and seasonings. No grill needed! EASY BBQ RIBS DINNER RECIPE It seems like you can make literally anything in the air fryer these days, right? So you know I had to try my hand at making ribs! Making ribs in the air fryer is a simple way to get delicious, juicy results. With such an easy recipe, you can’t help but want to make Air Fryer Ribs any day of the week, not just on the weekend. Best of all – you’ll be able to enjoy succulent ribs without fussing over hot temperatures from a grill or smoker! FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS: Are these tender ribs? You bet! While these might not be as “fall off the bone” as oven-baked or smoked ribs these are still very tender and you’ll still be able to clean the bone entirely. So don’t keep trying to cook them longer thinking they’ll get more tender. Once they’ve reached 190F they’ll start to dry out. Help! Why is my Air Fryer smoking? Typically this happens when grease from the ribs hit the bottom of the hot Air Fryer basket. Adding water to the bottom of the air fryer basket helps to disperse the grease and also adds a bit of a steaming effect to the meat, helping it stay tender. I like to use this trick with any meat in the Air Fryer, especially my Air Fryer Steak recipe. How long do leftover pork ribs last? Leftover ribs will keep in the fridge for up to 4 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months. Could I use beef ribs? Yes you could! Although I have not tested it out with this stacking method of air frying. I would say prepare as I did below but keep an eye on the time and temperature. They may not need as long. Beef ribs are done when they’ve reached an internal temperature of 195F degrees. Why does it take 45 minutes to air fry? It takes longer because we are stacking the ribs rather than putting them in one single layer. If you put them in a single layer, they will cook faster but you’ll have to do it in separate batches. This way, they will all be done at one time. I used a 7 quart basket air fryer (the basket style air fryer is the most widely sold air fryer on the market). If you have a smaller air fryer or an oven style air fryer, it might take longer (with a smaller air fryer) or faster (if using an oven style air fryer) so keep an eye on the internal temperature. Once it gets to 190F degrees, it’s ready. How should I reheat ribs? You could reheat ribs in the microwave. Or you can reheat them in the oven by placing them in a foil packet with a splash of water and heat until they are warmed back through. I wouldn’t use the air fryer because the bbq sauce will end up burning as you’re warming them back up. INGREDIENTS NEEDED: (SEE RECIPE CARD BELOW FOR THE FULL RECIPE) baby back ribs – I think baby back ribs work best for this recipe. St Louis style ribs would be too large to properly fit into a standard size air fryer but you could certainly try to cut them up to make them fit and work in batches. yellow mustard – you don’t really taste the mustard when it’s all finished. This is going to help the seasoning stick to the ribs. bbq seasoning – I’ve recently started using the Kinders BBQ blend from Wal-mart. I think it has great flavor without being overwhelming. But you can certainly make your own homemade seasoning. BBQ sauce – I almost always go with Sweet Baby Rays but as always, please use your favorite or make a homemade BBQ sauce. water – this is my trick to keep meat from smoking in the air fryer. Adding a bit of water will catch the dripping grease and contain it rather than the grease hitting the hot bottom of the air fryer and smoking. HOW TO MAKE AIR FRYER RIBS Preheat a 7-quart basket air fryer to 350°F for 5 minutes. Pat the ribs dry with a paper towel. Remove the membrane (also called silver skin) on the underside of the ribs. It is easiest to do this by slicing off a little corner of the membrane and then using a paper towel to grip it and pull it off. Cut the ribs into four even pieces, do the best you can. Brush the ribs all over with the mustard, I like to add a thin coating of about 1 Tablespoon, but use more if you like. Rub the bbq seasoning all over. Add 2 Tablespoons of water to the bottom of the air fryer basket. Arrange the ribs, overlapping into the air fryer, and make sure you can shut the basket properly; you may need to play around with them a little to make them fit. Cook for 45 minutes to 60 minutes, flipping them around every 15 minutes. Add more water to the bottom if you think it’s starting to smoke. The ribs are done when an internal temperature reaches 180-190°F. Take them out of the air fryer and place them on a sheet tray. Mix the bbq sauce with  2 Tablespoons of water. Brush this all over the ribs. Note: you can skip this step if you like, I just like to slightly thin out the sauce a bit. Place the ribs, bone side down, back into the air fryer, not touching. You will have to do this step in batches. Cook for an additional 3-5 minutes until the bbq sauce is bubbly and caramelized. Serve immediately. CRAVING MORE RECIPES?

Video Notes Please refer to my FAQ’s and ingredient list above for other substitutions or for the answers to the most common questions.  The real trick is moving them around every 15 minutes. I had a sheet tray I used to take all of them out, then rearrange them back into the basket every time.  I used a 7 quart basket air fryer (the basket style air fryer is the most widely sold air fryer on the market). If you have a smaller air fryer or an oven style air fryer, it might go longer (with a smaller air fryer) or faster (if you have an oven style air fryer) so keep an eye on the internal temperature. Once it gets to 190F degrees, it’s ready. The internal temperature is always the best way to know when it is done – not the time cooked. My air fryer says it has a three-pound capacity, but the ribs I used were really big, just under 4 pounds, and it worked great. So pay attention to the user manual of your fryer to see their suggestion and use your best judgement.  Keep leftovers in the fridge for up to 4 days. To reheat, do so in the microwave or in a foil packet with a splash of water in the oven until warmed through. Reheating back in the air fryer isn’t a good idea, the bbq sauce will end up burning. Freeze for up to 3 months. NutritionCalories: 98kcal | Carbohydrates: 22g | Protein: 2g | Fat: 1g | Sodium: 413mg | Fiber: 2g | Sugar: 12g

In a stunning blow to common sense and decades of well-established tinfoil-hat wisdom, a new poll has revealed that a growing 10% of Americans still dare to entertain the wild, baseless conspiracy theory that the Central Intelligence Agency did not assassinate President John F. Kennedy. Conducted by the prestigious Pew Pew Institute, the survey has left experts scratching their heads and conspiracy theorists reaching for their emergency snack stashes. The poll, which surveyed 1,000 random Americans found that this large minority actually believes the official narrative: that Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone on November 22, 1963, in Dallas. “It’s absolutely preposterous,” scoffed Dr. Melvin Quackmire, a self-proclaimed expert in shadowy government plots and author of 50 Shades of Grassy Knoll. “Everyone knows the CIA orchestrated the whole thing with a magic bullet, a weather balloon, and a cameo from Bigfoot. These 10% must be sipping Kool-Aid instead of decoding the Zapruder film.” The findings come at a time when the nation is still reeling from President Trump’s recent release of JFK files, which—surprise!—pointed the finger at Iran and a camel-powered time machine (see our previous article for the full absurdity). Yet, despite this irrefutable evidence, 100 million Americans (the other 90%) remain steadfast in their belief that the CIA pulled the trigger, citing such rock-solid proof as “vibes” and “my uncle’s cousin saw a guy in a trench coat once.” Poll respondents who fell into the 10% “denial” camp offered laughable excuses for their heresy. “I just think Oswald did it because, you know, he had a rifle and motive,” said Jane Doe, a 34-year-old accountant from Ohio, clearly unaware of the CIA’s alleged mastery of time-traveling snipers. Another respondent, John Smith, a 52-year-old truck driver, added, “I read the Warren Commission report, and it seemed… thorough?”—prompting a collective gasp from the conspiracy community, who promptly canceled his subscription to The Truth Is Out There newsletter. Social media erupted with outrage, with X users lambasting the 10% as “sheeple” and “history dropouts.” One popular post read, “10% of Americans think the CIA didn’t kill JFK? Time to check their birth certificates—probably planted by the deep state!” Another quipped, “Maybe they’re the ones who believe Trump’s Iran-camel story—same level of crazy!” Experts suggest this stubborn minority might be influenced by a lack of exposure to the finer points of conspiracy lore, such as the CIA’s rumored partnership with Elvis Presley or the secret moon base where the real files are stored. “It’s a sad day when 10% of our population rejects the obvious,” lamented Quackmire. “Next, they’ll tell us the moon landing wasn’t staged or that taxes aren’t a government plot to fund alien abductions.” The IRSP plans to follow up with a deeper dive into this phenomenon, including a study on whether these 10% also believe water is wet and the Earth is round. Until then, the 90% majority will continue to guard the sacred flame of skepticism, secure in the knowledge that the CIA’s fingerprints are all over Dealey Plaza—probably with a side of ranch dressing. In related news, a separate poll found 85% of Americans believe the Tooth Fairy is a CIA operative, so at least some sanity prevails. The post POLL: 10% of Americans still believe the crazy conspiracy theory that the CIA didn’t kill Kennedy appeared first on Genesius Times.

Mount Spurr near Anchorage has been showing signs of unrest for a year. Now scientists think it's creeping closer to an eruption.

Channel Islands National Park, California’s hidden gems, is a collection of five islands: Santa Cruz, Santa Rosa, San Miguel, Anacapa, and Santa Barbara. The islands are home to a host of endangered animals, including the Santa Cruz Island fox, the world’s rarest mammal. Travelers can explore dramatic cliffs, natural beaches, and untouched landscapes and glimpse how California existed prior to human existence. Its inaccessibility, complicated logistics, and lack of resources have always been its challenges. Still, these challenges have now escalated to a point where long-term preservation and safety are under threat. Channel Islands National Park is faces underfunding and staff shortages Channel Islands National Park/Wikimedia Commons Now that there have been recent budget cuts, the park also faces the challenge of being under-budgeted and understaffed. The lack of resources has taken a serious toll on the operation of the park. For instance, park staff are no longer allowed to remain overnight on the islands, with only law enforcement rangers being exempted. Others have to commute on a daily basis on lengthy boat rides that consume a lot of their work hours. Adding to this complexity, the Trump administration’s budget slashing resulted in 10% of park staff being laid off. Some of the most vital research on threatened species and ecosystems hangs in the balance. Channel Islands National Park/Wikimedia Commons How has Channel Islands National Park been managing despite its crisis? Despite the staff and funding crisis, Channel Islands National Park has continued to function with a lot of outside help from organizations like Island Packers and dedicated park volunteers. The visitor experience has remained very much the same, although less reliable weather and cancellations have meant fewer visitors. Santa_Cruz_Island/Wikimedia Commons The partnership with Island Packers has allowed for the movement of personnel, and volunteers have offered to provide island tours and orientations. In efforts to maintain operations, Island Packers has been providing additional space on its boats to park staff, a highly important service in light of the travel restrictions that have been imposed.
