Tomorrow is Mother's Day. We will enjoy a nice lunch at my grandmother's house with her, my parents, several aunts, uncles and cousins, then we will come home to CHAOS! My wonderful husband's family is coming over for supper. All of them, his parents, his sister and her husband and their 2 boys, his brother, his wife and their 3 boys. I know it doesn't sound like a lot, but it will seem like a lot when they get here and bring their drama with them. To make it easier, we are loading up a wood fired smoker today for the main dish for tomorrow. I have 2 Boston butts, a rack of ribs and a beef brisket ready to go. They are all rubbed with a spice blend I put together, then smoked for several hours on a low fire while several beers are consumed. They will be basted with a sauce consisting of vinegar, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce and other things, but the secret is in the rub, which I am happy to share with you.
ingredients
1 c brown sugar
1/2 cup paprika
3 tablespoons chili powder
5 tablespoons freshly ground black pepper
6 tablespoons garlic salt
3 tablespoons onion powder
2 1/2 tablespoons dried oregano
2 1/2 tablespoons dried thyme
Rub into meat and cook. This can be used on the grill or a smoker, it is a little spicy, so reduce the black pepper if you wish. Happy Saturday everyone.
