Hi, May I Help You?

If ya'll didn't know, I'm from that city called Kansas City (MISSOURI NOT KANSAS) a.k.a Barbeque Capital of the World!!!  Home to the not so world champion Royals and Chiefs, home to the jheri curl, and also home all the fountains you want.  As you can see, I'm proud of where I'm from.

Tuesday I made some yummy baked barbeque chicken in the oven and we had it for dinner again today, but I needed some more bbq sauce, but didn't have any on the shelves.

Since I'm an improviser by nature, I got to mixing!  What can I say?  I am my mother's child.  I think I've unlocked the world famous Gates BBQ recipe with this one!

I took some:  ketchup
                      Louisiana Hot Sauce
                      Colgin Liquid Smoke
                      honey
                      black pepper
                      Durkee Kansas City Style Seasoning Salt
                      Rendezvous Famous Seasoning

I'm not much of a measurer (I know that's not a word) but I just add the amount that I think should go in according to how much I want to taste that particular flavor.  For me, I added more liquid smoke and hot sauce and not a lot of seasoning salt.

Anyways, this little homemade bbq sauce was the business!  I'm telling you, it tasted just like Gates; I was back home in just one bite!


What recipes have you concocted on the fly to make up for what you didn't have?
