Artistry In Rubs & Brines

I started my love of cooking out of necessity. My older brother loved to chase me around and kick my tushy just for the sake of kickin it. If I tattled,………yeah, it got worse.

So I started hanging out in the kitchen with my mama for safety. From then, through out high school and college, from my living in Europe as a US Army Soldier, to when I met my wife up in the Sonoma wine country, I kept cooking. She would challenge me to create new dry rubs for our steak dinners. I took that to brining chicken, shell fish and pork ribs and chops.

Hers and the words of encouragement from family and friends led me to finally take my creations and offer them to you all.

So please, enjoy these, as we have many times, with your favorite foods along with your loved ones.
