Southern-ish dry-rub

2 tablespoons good-quality chili powder
2 tablespoons sweet paprika
1 tablespoon ground coriander
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon crushed dried oregano
2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Again, mix well and keep in an airtight container for up to a couple of months.

That would make a pretty good dry rub for ribs...

Mmmmm

Heehee...it makes a great dry rub for just about anything.

Even ribs.

Sounds nice

I'll try it sometime.

Coolness!

I LOVE dry rubs - they're so incredibly versatile, and they keep for a good while. You can make a huge batch and it will last the entire barbecue season.

Haha..I made a funny. I said "season". Heehee.

Sorry. I'm completely overcaffeinated.

Oh! Don't forget you can add to or take away bits, to your taste - none of my recipes are really "set in stone" - they're all a bit variable, depending on what you like.
