Fabulous Women!

No, I am not a man hater lol, but I need to give notice to the fabulous women that are in my life, some of which I know personally and many whom I've never met.

I've encountered very helpful and friendly women in the Etsy chatrooms, who are supportive and sharing of their roadmaps for success on Etsy. As I've just opened my store, I've been a sponge for input and know-how. I can't say enough for the people, like Heathen's Heart (HeathensHearth.etsy.com) and NotSoShabbyChic (NotSoShabbyChic.etsy.com) who have been willing to give me pointers and offer advice so that I can be successful. To you and the countless others who have been willing to share, I can't thank you enough!

MT, you are the best too hon. I'm doing a lot of the same things that we did when we did BSAH, albeit this time I'm actually going to do the things that made you successful :).

Now for something completely differant....

I got this rub recipe from someone I used to work with, and it's fabulous for Pulled Pork, pulled beaf and pulled chicken:

Grab an item you can use for a measure(cup, tablespoon, bottle cap, Buick). It's an 8/1.5/1/1 ratio rub. Also good for ribs.

8 items light brown sugar, tightly packed
1.5 items kosher salt
1 item chili powder
1/5 item ground black pepper
1/5 item cayenne pepper
1/5 item Old Bay Seasoning
1/5 item rubbed thyme
1/5 item onion powder

Some people might add a sixth and put in jalapeno Powder.

Rub and let sit for 24 hours. When I do pork shoulder or chuck roast, I go 90 minutes per pound at 200 degrees. You could also slow cook in a crock pot. Enjoy!
