SPG
SPG = Salt - Pepper - Garlic .... folks who watch even a few BBQ cooking programs are almost certainly familiar with SPG as a rub and/or seasoning used on most any meat and veggies such as baked potatoes .... its is offered by many different brands and usually cost more than a dollar an ounce ..... being cheap, over the last year I've spent more time than I care to admit trying to come up with a recipe we enjoy .... note : I've found that most commercial brands we've tried contain more than just salt, pepper and garlic which complicates duplicating their exact taste .... a while back I finally hit on a recipe :
4 parts course Kosher or course sea salt
2 parts course ground black pepper
1 part dry minced garlic
1 part cayenne pepper for me .... 1/2 part for my wife .... NONE for our daughter .... amount very much a matter of personal preference
1 part granulated onion
with the course sea salt and minced garlic, we need a shaker with larger holes than the ones shown below .... we found some on Amazon and are looking forward to their arrival tomorrow .... https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01N2 ... UTF8&psc=1 .... the jars we use are 1/2 pint Mason Jar types that we have on hand .... should anyone care to make this SPG, I'd recommend making a small test batch and giving it a try .... you may well want to tinker with recipe .... this recipe works best as a rub, to use it to shake on at the table (like regular salt or pepper) it might be better to substitute regular salt and garlic powder

Re: SPG
this seasoning has quickly become one of our favorites .... as a result, we seldom use just pepper and salt .... its flavor compliments both meats and veggies .... we use it both in cooking and at the table

Re: SPG
That's the way to get creative.
I am always on the lookout for good ways to flavor old favorites.
Neither of us can go too spicy, but that sounds good, and of course, you can tweek to taste.

You can tell a lot about the character of a man...
