This review is my 1700th! It has been a slower crawl to get to this mark as of late, but it still blows me away that I have so much to say!
Back in early March, I was in Rochester, MN having lunch with my good friend. She lives in northern Iowa. We were both pleased to see each other with my nearly monthly visits to the Twin Cities to take in Wild hockey games.
She asked me whether I still enjoyed cooking. When I moved back to Winnipeg, which seems to be eons ago, she gifted me her crock pot recipe book that I seemed to have borrowed often while living stateside. I still have it and love my crock pot, which made her so happy.
She gave me a rectangular box containing seven cute bottles of seasonings from Lynch BBQ. This company is based in Waucoma, IA, which is roughly a twenty-minute drive away from where my friend lives.
I love that there are suggestions on the top of the box as to what you can use each seasoning type on. I got these varieties:
- Rajun cajun
- Sweet rib rub
- Steak shaker
- Butt shaker
- Butter & garlic
- Lemon pepper
- Steak & chop
They are all yummy! The ones that I ended up using the most were the butt shaker, and butter & garlic. The former is great on pork chops, ribs, hamburgers, and eggs. I eat all of them so often that it makes sense why this seasoning went first. Butter & garlic is perfect for potatoes, chicken, garlic toast, and fettuccine alfredo. I ended up putting it on hot popcorn. OMG! So flavourful and good.
My friend recently asked how I was doing with these seasonings. I was low on these specific two flavours. I tried ordering off Lynch's site, but it was under construction. My friend not only saved my tastebuds by getting me these flavours and mailing them to me, but she got me the largest bottles that she could find at the store. I was thrilled and am so fortunate to have her as my friend.
Although Lynch is a barbeque place, their seasonings are definitely not restricted for use on barbeque. I like them on veggies and potatoes, which need some jazzing up. They are delicious, not terribly salty that makes me down tons of water, and have saved me from boring, bland fries.
One of these days, I will venture over to Lynch's physical store and check it out. It will also be nice to say hi to my friend, as it has been well over a decade since I last visited her home.
