Do you make your own rub?Have a couple rib eyes laid out waiting on Lady B to get home and I'll let her decide if we just do a steak salad or something more substantial. I'm good with the former. The kids not here so that means I can use my hot chili powder rub and go spicy.
Last night was mesquite grilled pork chops, butter noodles, grilled zucchini, and broccoli.
Tonight we are having the last of the beef smoked sausages we brought back home & stashed in our freezer after last summer's visit to Texas to see Grandma. I will also make smashed potato salad, and corn-on-the-cob.

Babydoll, I have and still do, though my concoctions aren't always well received by the ladies in the house. Too much heat. Last night I used McCormick Hot Mexican Style chili powder. It's been my go to of late, pretty tasty and not too much heat for the sissy tounges in the house.
Tangentially related, Bamboots, she has asked me (I've shown her many of your incredible food posts) if there is a "real" southern / regional cookbook that you recommend?
One of my favorite meals. I will it eat it until I am one mouthful away from a coma. I never tire of anything teriyaki.Teriyaki chicken bbq'd by son-in-law, with cauliflower rice.
FF, there are many "Southern" cookbooks out there and I've looked around this morning and can't find where we put mine. As I know you're familiar with remodeling, new kitchen cabinets were installed last week and the granite counter tops come tomorrow so, things are strewn around. Sadly ours is a contemporary home but the kitchen will now have more cabinet space and way more functionality. The books I recommend you start with are the Southern Living cookbooks. There are many of them out there and they cover everything from baking to BBQ. I particularly like them as recipes from every region of the South can be found. You may be familiar with Southern Living magazine, a subscription I held for many years, mostly for the food section. It is published in Birmingham and there was a time it was found on every coffee table down here.
Many of their recipes can be found online and since I know lady FF enjoys baking, here's a recipe I've used many times. If you enjoy carrot cake, and I do. I've found none better. Perfect for the holidays. http://www.myrecipes.com/recipe/best-carrot-cake
Not only thank you, but congratulations on the remodeling. I hope the granite counter install goes well. All your info (and the recipe) have been passed on to the girlfriend (who is recovering from two broken toes, so the kitchen has been all but shut down, but she's itching to get back in once healed up enough).
