Ditto the Franks red hot.

We call it **** sauce, but its this

My fav spice is Cookies flavor enhancer, at least for most grilling.

I like Famous Dave's spice mix.

I use a lot of a spice mix called sandwich sprinkle from a spice store in Des Moines. It's not the cheapest place in the world but its very cool and you can get some good stuff there!

Go there and check out stuff, smell it, and get on their mailing list, they have a pretty cool catalog and it seems like most months there is a coupon in it for a small free spice of the month like a BBQ one, a pepper one, etc.

As far as spices go, fresh cracked black pepper is hard to beat. And since my brother isn't here to yell, "That's not a spice!", Emeril's Italian Essence is great on a roasted bird rubbed with olive oil. I also like the Montreal Steak/Chicken blends. Recently discovered paprika. Google Chicken Paprikash - easy and delicious. And since we aren't being technical about what's a spice, get some tahini paste and try making your own hummus. It's a good thing.

And you didn't tell me of this before we went?

You did not try the spicy tomato sauce? That stuff is so good. I will pick you up a bottle in a few months :)

I honestly don't think we saw it. The school didn't have it...out on the table anyway.

I think we missed a bit during non-tourist season.

That's one thing we didn't think of enough with our tourist shopping. But we've learned the error of our ways.

One or two of the students are coming to the U.S. next month. Maybe we can get them to bring something along.

That's right!!! I hope they have enough time to adjust to the weather.

2 tbl salt
2 tbl smoked paprika
2 tbl onion powder
1 tbl cayenne pepper
1 tbl cumin
2 tsp thyme
2 tsp oregano
2 tsp black pepper
2 tsp garlic powder

This is a rub that I got from Food Network's "Down home with the Nealys".

I rub it on chickens and then grill them on an "up the butt" chicken roaster. Very good rub. It would work on anything you want to slow roast or smoke.

Can't go wrong with Lawry's and garlic salt on a medium rare steak. My wife has to yell at me not to lick the steak juice off the plate. yummy
