Bride was watching a show I had zero interest in so decided to clean out the spice rub cabinet. I’ve read where lots of Rub ingredients are natural critter repellents. If it had a best if used by over 2 years out or none and I couldn’t remember buying it- I dumped it. In my flower beds. Cayennes Spicy Paprika- Garlic-Onion Powder etc etc. I bought a couple new to me rubs and an old favorite Morton Chile Powder yesterday. Gunpowder Black And Daigles Cajun. Some of the bottles were old and caked. Some were just cause I knew they were no longer needed. Still have a crapton. Flowerbed smells nice.
