No molasses in the house, but BBQ sauce was possible
I spent the last weekend in the house, didn't leave once except to buy cigarettes, ice, and a lightbulb. I had been marinating some ribs in vinegar, olive oil, thyme, salt, and pepper when I realized that I had no BBQ sauce in the house. In Korea, you usually buy BBQ sauce because of either the lack of molasses or the high price of honey. Now, I know where to buy molasses, but I didn't (what will I use the molasses for?) but I remembered that I had honey in the house. Last semester on Teacher's Day, the students gave all of a us five kilos of honey. Keep in mind that a ten ounce bottle of honey is roughly ten bucks and you'll get an idea of why people buy BBQ sauce.
Long story short, cooked the ribs low and slow in the oven, till they were tender enough to come apart but not fall off the bone, about four hours. BBQ sauce was made and no trips to Homeplus were necessary.
