It is actually touching in a way that for him he is thinking ahead -- is two hours before he wants to eat. Even though he knows (because he wanted the pellet smoker) that the way we usually do it is a 6 hour cook, at least it isn't a brisket for a 12-hour cook.
Anyway, forgot about the first rub with basic yellow prepared mustard before applying the spices, but it didn't hurt anything to have them in the spices over night and the mustard put on this morning.
Husband came to me believing he didn't like mustard. He really balked but finally agreed to try it as a rub and found he likes it/it disappears but adds something.
I am up my usual sort of early and doing my computer things but I think I hear the fabric calling me... and I've got hours before I even need to peek in on the ribs
