Seasonings???

A while back Ernie saved some of the dried peppers that she uses when she makes tamales. She threw them in her Blentec blender and ground them into a coarse powder, seeds and all. Was one of the best dry rugs we ever had.....she used about a 50-50 mix of hot & mild if I remember right. Had just the right amount of kick, as long as it was not sprinkled on too heavy. We used it for a dry rub til it was gone....hmmm......need to talk to her about this.
