***HOMEMADE DAILY SHOWER CLEANER SPRAY***

Ingredients:

    1/2 cup hydrogen peroxide

    1/2 cup rubbing alcohol

    1 teaspoon liquid dish soap

    3 tablespoons liquid Cascade dishwasher rinse aid (or like Jet Dry or Finish)

    3 cups Distilled water

Pour the peroxide, rubbing alcohol, dish soap and rinse aid into a spray bottle of at least a 32 oz size.  Slowly add the 3 cups of water.  Use a funnel for getting these liquid ingredients in your bottle without making a mess.

Put the top back on the spray bottle and then slowly tip the bottle back and forth to mix the ingredients.

One final note:  Hydrogen peroxide can slowly break down in the light.  That’s why hydrogen peroxide is always sold in those dark brown bottles.  If possible, keep this mixture in a cupboard or some other place where it will be dark to keep the hydrogen peroxide at optimum performance.

Side note: The best spray bottle nozzle is from a 32 fl.oz. "Scrubbing Bubbles Daily Shower Cleaner". Get the one that says "Widest Spray" on the front. After using the shower cleaner, you have a great "Widest Spray" nozzle that fits perfectly with a 32 fl.oz. bottle of Hydrogen Peroxide from Wally World ($0.88). You want your homemade shower cleaner in the dark Hydrogen Peroxide bottle with the wide nozzle so it doesn't degrade in the light.

***Smoked Paprika Rub***
 
Seems I went down some rabbit hole and found this recipe. All I can say is wow, I have used this for all meats, chicken, pork and even shrimp.  It is a great rub.

Believe it or not, I found the Smoked Paprika at a local Wally World.  Go figure.  It is the key ingredient. 

Smoked Paprika is one of those spices that adds that special touch to anything.on the grill.

Ingredients:

    2 tablespoons brown sugar

    2 tablespoons sea salt

    2 tablespoons smoked paprika (start with less your first time and adjust to your taste!)

    1 tablespoon black pepper

    1 tablespoon garlic powder or salt

    1 tablespoon onion powder or salt

Instructions:

In a bowl combine all the spices and mix well.

Transfer to a spice jar, or mason jar, and store in a cool, dry, dark space until needed.

When using coat your meat first with some oil. Then sprinkle the rub over top and rub it into the meat. Make sure it gets everywhere.

Cover the meat and pop in the fridge for a couple of hours, or overnight if you want a really intense smoky flavor.

Make sure you take the meat out of the fridge about 30 minutes before grilling. Do not grill cold meat.

Notes: Start with less and work your way up. So start small and work your way to the perfect amount for you and your family.

To make a sauce from the rub, add water, a little oil or melted butter and use it to baste the meat three-quarters of the way through grilling.
