Some new pictures!

I don't have anything stitching related to share at the moment, but I will shortly...interesting side note, last night I got stuck on HWY #401 for close to an hour so the "don't waste a moment" in me decided that because the car was in park and could use my interior light to see, pulled my stitching out and worked away for about 45 minutes before traffic started moving again! DH thought I had lost it but I did accomplish more than I thought I would...:-)

The following photos were taken by my brother this summer/fall and they turned out really well so I thought I would share, and I haven't posted a lot of pictures lately of "the kids"...

Here is Caleb and his Poppie (my Dad) the long weekend in September at the family beef bbq... A serious Caleb... Cameron and cake! Nannie, Poppie and the boys (my parents)

A recipe - A multipurpose shake/rub

Bone Dust BBQ Spice
1/2 cup paprika
1/4 cup chili powder

2 tablespoons garlic powder
2 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons curry powder
2 tablespoons hot mustard powder
1 tablespoon ground black pepper
1 tablespoon dried basil
1 tablespoon dried thyme
1 tablespoon ground cumin
1 tablespoon cayenne pepper

Mix together ingredients. Store in airtight container in a cool, dry place away from heat and light. Makes about 2 1/2 cups.

So, this is a mix I found in a newpaper, ages ago. I'm talking probably while I was in my teens! I use it for everything. We put it on meat that we grill, I add it to rice and we pretty much use it as most households would use a seasoning salt. My MIL now uses it all the time and we seem to make a batch and share it so I only make it half as often as I used to. This lasts us about three months and then we are looking to mix up more. I buy the ingredients at the bulk food place, mix it in a large plastic jar and then transfer it to a large shaker top jar that sits on the first shelf, right out front in my spice cupboard.

Hope you enjoy it as much as we do!
