Polynesian Pork Ribs

O.k., I know we just had ribs, but I had to make room in the freezer, and ribs are big so they had to go. But anyway, Jeff and Amelia and I really liked them. Tiernan didn't seem too impressed, and of course Joshie steered clear of them. It calls for boneless ribs, but that's not what I had, and they were fine anyway. And it also called for a small onion, sliced, but I had some diced in the freezer, so I just used that, and I used less than it called for, as Jeff is not a fan of onions.
