Last winter, after a huge snowstorm, my neighbor Jim spent two hours clearing my driveway and sidewalk with his snow blower. When I offered to pay him, he just waved me off with a smile and said, “Just make me some ribs sometime.”
Later, his wife let me in on the secret—Jim is crazy about good ribs. So I made a batch, and the very next day, he was knocking on my door asking for the recipe.
