Which still puts Tatooine rather close to Naboo relatively speaking, so it's confusing why they consider that a "frontier" planet

In all of the maps I've seen, Naboo and Tatooine are close (though Tatooine moves around a lot, and I know very little about Star Wars canon).

None of that, now.
I made some excellent pork spareribs last night. What's notable is that this is the first time I've cooked ribs of any kind.

Since most sauces are kind of sugary, I've taken to making my ribs with a dry rub - Splenda-based brown "sugar," dry mustard, paprika, sea salt, cayenne, black and white pepper, and little (believe it or not) thyme. The come out great.
