FEED YOUR FACE: Yummy dry rub

OK. Even if winter is on the way you can still cook on your outdoor grill. Just bundle yourself up, and have at it.

If you do not want to be out in the cold watching the grill, you can still get that BBQ taste.

Here is a recipe for an all-around rub for just about any kind of meat you want to cook, and it is quite good. Here is what you need:

• 3/4 cup paprika
• 1/4 cup freshly ground black pepper
• 1/4 cup coarse salt, either kosher or sea salt
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 2 tablespoons chili powder
• 2 tablespoons garlic powder
• 2 tablespoons onion powder
• 2 teaspoons cayenne

This makes about 2-cups of rub.

Mix everything thoroughly in a bowl. Store it in a jar or a good shaker-jar with a tight flip-up lid. And keep in a cool dark pantry close at hand. Once you try it, I think that you will use it on just about all of the meats that you cook.

It is good on chicken, brisket, ribs, pork chops, and beef. Also on any game meat.

Just shake it out on the meat, rub it all over, then let it set for about 20 minutes before you cook it up.

So, smack your lips, and feed your face!
