Rib lovers...
I know I posted the recipe in my menu post on Monday. But it was so yummy that I want to be sure you all see it again 
We made these clow cooker ribs and had them last night....so delish! Bonus: I arrived home to the smell of ribby goodness filling my house! Mmmm.
Slow-Cooked Barbecue Ribs
Shortcuts - Use prepared barbecue sauce. - Dinner cooks by itself in a slow-cooker. - To ease cleanup, line baking sheet with foil before broiling ribs.
Servings: 6
Ingredients:
3 lb (1.5 kg) pork back ribs (2 racks)
1 tbsp (15 mL) vegetable oil
1 onion, chopped
1 large carrot, diced
1 stalk celery, diced
1-1/2 tsp (7 mL) bottled minced garlic (or 2 cloves, minced)
2 tsp (10 mL) dried thyme
1/2 tsp (2 mL) each salt and pepper
1 bottle (455 mL) barbecue sauce
Preparation:
Trim any fat from ribs. If necessary, remove membrane from underside. Cut into 2-rib portions; place on rimmed baking sheet. Broil until browned, 7 minutes per side. Transfer to slow-cooker.
Meanwhile, in large nonstick skillet, heat oil over medium heat; fry onion, carrot, celery, garlic, thyme, salt and pepper until onion is softened, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat. Add barbecue sauce.
Add to slow-cooker, stirring to coat ribs. Cover and cook on low until ribs are tender, 8 to 10 hours.

That sounds delicious... but here's my question.
Do you have a cassarole style crock pot or a traditional Up and Down one? I see how this would be awesome in an oblong casarole one... but in my old fasioned up and down I'm not so sure it would work out the same.
I have alot of crock pots, both styles. I usually make these in an oblong one, but that's just cause I'm too lazy to cut up the ribs to portion/serving sizes prior to cooking them. I just throw them in, then some sauce, andother chunk then some sauce, etc. If you have a round one (I think this is what you mean by an up and down one) it'll still work, you just have to cut the ribs into shorter pieces.
Thanks for the tip. yes.. round is what I meant... but in the late hours at the office "up and down" was the best description I could muster.
I'm certainly going to give this a try. It sounds awesome.
