Just had to share this. (I know I've not been very good at posting blog updates lately, so here's a food related one at least :).

Nothing like early morning food prep! This Spice Rub was made to go on a pork tenderloin (4 lbs) that I am slow-cooking in a crock pot while I'm at work, and will finish in the oven when I get home. :)

Now, let's see if I can remember ALL the stuff I dumped into this rub. (I like to play with spices :).

4(+) Tablespoon Olive Oil
8 fresh Garlic Cloves, minced
1 Tablespoon Kosher Salt
2-3 Tablespoons dried Minced Onion (accidentally dumped this in instead of measuring, so I'm totally guessing here ;-)
1 Teaspoon Ground Black Pepper (+ some extra grinds from my Pepper Mill :)
1 Teaspoon dried Thyme
1 Teaspoon dried Basil
1 Teaspoon dried rubbed Sage
1 Teaspoon dried Rosemary
1 Teaspoon dried Mustard
1(+) Teaspoon dried Parsley
1/4 Teaspoon Paprika
