It has being a while since I ventured into an "all sausage store"....lol. As some know my family does our own sausage from scratch a couple times of the year. This time however the wife and I were looking for some spices for the BBQ season....

On a recommendation from CJ Katz (www.savourlife.ca) I was told I could find spices...and lots of them at JB's in Regina. Well...finally got to the place today and yes they have spices...lots. A very good variety of basic shelf spices; garlic powder, celery salt, different paprikas, etc. That is not all they have people.

As their name indicates they are a sausage making supply place. I was impressed to see a good variety (at decent prices I might add overall) of equipment and accessories AND a good selection of many different sausage mixes. Give them a Try if your in Regina.....

We bought the "Saskatchewan BBQ Spice and the basic Lemon Pepper Spice" both with JB's brand on them. As most say....the spice mix has to taste good if its going to any good on your meat. Well....both taste good out of the bottle....lol

Now will have to pay a visit to our local Fellinger's Butcher store to get a nice summer BBQ pack....that should last a couple of months....plenty of meat to try the new spices on.

Mothers Day Supper by Our Son

Regina BBQ Championship.....2nd year

It's on again for all you stick burners.....charcoal nuts......

.....Western Canada "Pilo O' Bones" BBQ Championship.

Some will remember my post last year on the 1st year of this competition. Was held at Taylor Field. I encourage all my fellow AMATEUR grillers to clear the rust off your old charcoal grills...(sorry no gassers allowed) and enter. If you don't have one....just go an buy a cheapie Walmart one for $50 or something and practice a bit on it. Best if you gather a couple of your buddies or even husband and wife and HAVE FUN!!!

Another Rub.....

I have to write this down someplace....

- 1 cup brown sugar
- teaspoon each of the following paprika, celery salt, pepper, majarram(sp), hickory salt, cinnamon
- Table spoon of garlic powder and onion powder and a pinch of red pepper flakes.

I put two Pork roasts on the BBQ today and massaged the above spice rub on. Little EVOO to aid keeping the rub on. Straight onto the Grill offset heat.

Took them off after 5hrs and foiled them and held on the counter for 15 minutes. Temp was 165 approx. Thinly sliced for supper with some sides....turned out very good.

I think that rub is a keeper
