I was in a habitat second hand store in Davidson, NC a few weeks ago, and my mother and sister
were trying to get me to find something I wanted to throw in the basket, but I was happy just to
look. Then my eyes landed on a can like a small cookie tin, with some kind of martha stewart-looking
graphics on it, you know, the one odd color and big giant letters etc. NOT martha by the way,
just yuppie-ish. Anyway, it's RUB in the can, and I thought hell, discout spices are always good.
It was sealed, so WTH. In the can were 4 separate bags of sealed up spices. It was neat cause
beyond some of the dusty spices there were chunks of woody matter that must have ended up
being citrus zest or some kind of bark spice. It also had achiote in it, which I never add, but should.
I did my cut up butt with it last weekend and it kicked A$$!! I am going to check out what, if any,
brand name was on it and let you know. Man it was good. I just usually end up mixing whatever
spices I have. That's the kind of cook I am, anyway. Recipes are expensive.
I also took my
expectations down a notch today...new grill, I think I am going to just do some "western style
ribs" pork butt slices. Why waste meat on new techno. If it works out, maybe sat I will thaw
some ribs for Sunday.
