Last night we made a rub for a brisket that we were smoking for the party today. It is amazing, we actually sampled it right out of the bowl when it was done. W-O-W. We haven't eaten the meat yet but I can't imagine it won't be even better....

1/2 cup ground coffee or chicory (we used hazelnut coffee and ground the beans in a grinder until they were powder not just regular grounds)

1/2 cup coarse salt, kosher or sea

1/2 cup packed dark brown sugar

1/4 cup hot paprika

2 tablespoons ground cardamom (we used it from a spice jar, but next time I'm going to see if I can find some to grind fresh)

2 tablespoons ground ginger (we used it from a spice jar, but next time I'm going to grate fresh)

1/3 cup fresh chopped garlic (yes, 1/3 of a cup)

1/2 cup olive oil, or as needed (regular olive oil is better than virgin or extra virgin)

Combine all ingredients except for oil until well mixed, use a food processor or just mix by hand. Break up any clumps so that it is a uniform mixture. Stir in enough oil to make a thick paste. Use rub the day it is made, cover and refrigerate until using. Makes about 2 cups, good for a 6-8 pound brisket.

WARNING!!!!

Do not go to Kendell's house and have her breakfast ring. It's addicting and you'll find yourself thinking about eating nothing but breakfast ring...

I can hear the left overs calling me from the fridge...

mmm breakfast ring. I thought about having some for dinner last night again, but then realized that when you have it for breakfast, lunch and dinner - they may put you in rehab.

Cook some scrambled eggs and bacon. Take a pizza stone (I use the pampered chef one, but it would probably work with a regular round pizza sheet) and use 2 tubes of crescent rolls and assemble them with the broad sides overlapping around the edge of the stone, about 2-3" in. Layer on top of the crescents whatever you'd like inside your ring. I usually use bacon, scrambled eggs, shredded cheese and deli ham. Fold over the points of the crescent and press them along the inside of the ring.

Bake whatever the package of crescents say to cook the crescent rolls. I usually use the big and buttery, so its about 16 minutes at 350. I serve mine with dijon mustard.

It smells and tastes like heaven, and looks something like this

We made something yummy this weekend that I had to share. We got the basic idea from a cookbook, but then went off in another direction. I just eyeball everything and guess, so my recipes probably come out sounding annoying :)

Preheat oven to 400 or so.

Take an eggplant, and slice it thinly lengthwise. Salt the slices on each side, and let them sit for about 10-15 minutes. It helps draw out the bitterness. After the 10-15 minutes, rinse and pat dry.

Then sauté the slices in olive oil and garlic. Pat off the excess oil, and then spread on some pesto. Sprinkle with mozzarella cheese, then roll up and pin them with a toothpick to prevent unrolling.

Bake in the oven for 10 minutes or so, then serve. Yummy!!
