Thanks, everyone! I have several varieties of paprika & chili powders, including chipotle. Thanks Linda for the offer ( I believe that only the chilies were offered and not the "grinder" too)! And...I do go a while between posts as I approach 70. I sure cannot have your bragging rights, Doug, ever! Here is the recipe for a rub Toasted spice rub: ¼ cup fennel seeds 1 tablespoon coriander seeds 1 tablespoon white peppercorns 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon 2 tablespoons kosher salt ¼ C (1-ounce) sweet chili powder 1 ½ tsp red pepper flakes This is used on brined chicken (salt, bay leaves, black peppercorns, brown sugar, juniper berries) that is baked w/thyme, sherry vinegar (a la Michael Chiarello, a Napa Valley chef) On Dec 20, 2009, at 11:41 AM, Doug Irvine wrote: > Rael64 wrote: >> I'd wager it is sweet paprika.
