Ingredients Directions When I started my blog at the beginning of the year my goal was to get out at least two posts a month. As it turns out my last post was from two months ago!! What can I say, September was a very busy month for me. We celebrated Jen’s birthday and helped my mother-in-law move down to SA. »
For our fifth wedding anniversary, Jen and I headed to Seattle, WA. While walking around Pike’s Place market we bumped into local chef Tom Douglas’s Rub With Love Shack. I couldn’t leave without walking away with 3 of his rubs. I was most excited about the Exotic Mushroom Rub which contains actual porcini mushrooms. According to his website he uses it to finish off steaks at his restaurant. About a week after our trip Jen headed to the central market and came back with some very nice looking dry aged prime ribeyes weigh in at 1. »

Huntman’s Cheese is made with four layers of the orange-hued Double Gloucester sandwiched by three layers of Blue Stilton. »
