I loved your entry! I...Mornin' Mizz Belle!<br /><br />I loved your entry! I'm one of those people that COULD actually eat a steak for breakfast and that's usually about the time of day I am on the blogosphere! So, I think this is a perfect entry for breakfast with the coffee AND steak! Just put a side of cheesey grits and i'll be good to go!<br /><br />I have done the rub before and must make comment on two things working with the coffee. The grind, I found, must be superfine as I didn't grind as finely and found I got a bitter taste from the coffee. And, yes, Karl, I am caffeine sensitive too and cut down on the coffee combo for my rub. I think 1/4 cup would be too much for me, La Diva was spinning out at 9pm after I tried coffee rub the first time!<br /><br />Happy Throwdown Aunty!LaDivaCucinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06000430029590301972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23068833.post-16346362693862564832010-02-06T20:55:21.122-08:002010-02-06T20:55:21.122-08:00(troll, if you look carefully, you would find you ...(troll, if you look carefully, you would find you have more money now than before Obama)bonemanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14547767520204294295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23068833.post-78525437158459088332010-02-06T20:54:20.792-08:002010-02-06T20:54:20.792-08:00well, I don't like the politicking, and the id...well, I don't like the politicking, and the idea of pushing one religion over another doesn't really get a smile from my soul, BUT<br />I used the basic recipe for a pork roast this evening, and WOW!<br />It was a great dish!<br /><br />Course, I left out the brown sugar (poor memory) and instead of salt and pepper, used something called Canadian Steak seasonning, but learned my lesson on that.<br />The Canadian Steak stuff seems heavy on the salt.<br />Of course, I helped it some other ways...half way through it, made cuts with my knife and inserted whole garlics. Chopped an onion and covered the meat. Used a bit of wine at the halfway mark, too.<br /><br />Absolutely scrumptious!<br />Thanx!bonemanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14547767520204294295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23068833.post-42555319952884279082010-02-05T10:29:29.336-08:002010-02-05T10:29:29.336-08:00Wow!

Contrasted with the salt and pepper, I bet it was good.<br /><br />It's a good thing I bailed on this challenge or we may have had similar entries. I was looking at a coffee rub the also had salt, pepper, cayenne and cumin. So it would have been a little spicier than yours. But good intensions don't put meat on the table.

How strong is the coffee flavor - does it mellow out or become more pronounced?<br /><br />And I had to laugh at your comment about "a little longer if you have to fill the bird feeders." S.B. says I'm way too co-dependent of our winged denizens, but I can't help it.
