“Love is a battlefield,” Pat Benatar sang about the bumpy path to romance in her 1983 hit, while a few centuries earlier Shakespeare wrote about it in his most popular of plays, “Romeo and Juliet.” These two powerhouses of music and literature will collide Friday and Saturday at Mashashimuet Park in Sag Harbor.

First, let’s talk about ribs. There are several different kinds available in most markets. Spareribs come from the underbelly, or lower rib cage, of the pig. A full slab contains 13 ribs and weighs about three pounds. Baby back ribs (not from piglets!) come from the upper front end of the rib cage and are smaller than spareribs. Country-style ribs come from the upper rear end of the rib cage. Regular spareribs are fattier, which keeps the meat tender and moist during long cooking. Baby backs and Country-style can be prone to drying out if you’re not careful.
