For wet ribs I make a braising liquid using Cloves, garlic, achiote, cumin, cayenne pepper, crushed Ancho Chiles and chili powder

for dry ribs- Salt pepper, brown sugar, garli, cayenne pepper, celery salt paprika

For Roast Pork Just salt, pepper and a whole orange.

Chicken- Just olive oil and a little salt for roasting...

Beef- Prime Rib- Coat it with Kosher Salt and roast.

Tritip- 7 Seas season salt

Steaks- Montreal Steak Seasoning or if the meat is really prime, only a little salt and I pour a little melted butter on the plate where I place the steak...

Broke down and bought 3 lbs of pork ribs tonight.

Hotel kitchen-ette allowed me to bake at 350 for 35 minutes. All I had for a rub was salt/pepper packs from McDonalds and butter from Denny's.

At some point eating out is not an option and meat just taste great, even if it's only meat.

I'm thinking I should have passed on the Yellow Tail Merlot, and just stuck with beer, but it was on sale.

I to am not a fan of the pre-mixed, conglomeration seasonings, but I do like Adobo when I am making certain dishes. Sometimes I think they have a secret ingredient in that bottle that causes severe addiction.

All right, I'm going to buy several oz of the above items, or even the "pre-mixed", just in case I get stuck in a hotel and I need to dine in.

Get a pepper mill and some salt.......that's all us carnivores require.

I just counted, my "spice rack" contains about 60 bottles of various spices and such. A few words of advice, if you enjoy a spice that comes in a seed, buy it whole and grind it your self. There is nothing better than fresh ground black pepper, fresh ground nutmeg, allspice, coriander and mustard seed etc....

I own a Peugeot pepper mill, touch it and you die. I'd lend you my sidearm first.
I also use a Bosch coffee grinder as a spice grinder, had it for years, works great.
Lastly I have a great big granite mortar and pestle, go big if you get one, the little ones move around too much when smashing things....

TS- Yes, Peugeot are amazing! It crazy, but until you use one, you're clueless. Once you do you never really content with any other mill.

WD, when I return to the storage shed to retreive it, I'll Grab a couple of Jars of my 10 spice dry rub for you.

Wow!

Well, all I can say is my learning will never cease. Thanks for the tips!

My longterm goals include gaining knowledge of spices, and the proper usage...and a set of these:

Celtic Sea Salt = unprocessed salt.

I'm wondering if you might have to actually use "more" to put a proper seasoning on food......

When seasoning meat, poultry. fish, etc., before cooking I use kosher salt. It is especially good on prime rib and salt baked fish... getting ready to eat my own portion, regular granulated is fine...

Jane's Krazy Mixed-Up Salt has been a staple seasoning in my house since the mid-70's... their Krazy Mixed-Up Pepper is very good, also.
