Easy Like Sunday

Sorry I have not blogged in a while. I have had a hard time getting mommy and daddy to sit down and do it for me. But now I am sitting on the computer making them type for me. Paws are a little hindrance in typing. But although we have not blogged in a long time, we have taken lots of pictures. Here are some.

We are all packed for the trip! When's we leaving?

Next time pack the kitten on bottom please.
Kitten ON BOTTOM Please!!
Good thing I am a nice sister and I share my tower with Blackberry. She can always sleep on the couch.
Honest Daddy, I's just LOOKING at your college diplomas. I wasn't touching anything.

Mommy: Blackberry managed to get a tassel piece and took it away to play with.

Well, thats all for now. Hopefully I will be back soon with more stories. Maybe I will take a break and let Blackberry write a few stories.

Dry Rub Success

Spices rubbed into meat, left to do its thing for a while, then cooked.

I have learned that the success to a dry rub is brown sugar. I used to just rub the spices into the meat and hope for the best. Now I mix the spices at least half-and-half with brown sugar and let the magic happen.

Here's a mixture of the following stuff:

paprika
garlic powder
salt
onion powder
chili powder
chili flakes
turmeric
cumin

Mix a tablespoon of this with a tablespoon of brown sugar and you've got Rub Magic.

Spread it on neat and you've got Salty Nastiness.

Here's what it looks like after an hour or so of resting in the fridge:




Of course, if you don't want to risk making your own rub, check out the professionals like my friend Shane of Payne County.

Here's his stuff which he recommends cutting with brown sugar. Like the Stones said, brown sugar.
