Have you tried one of those mcnerd? I tried some other recipe that I had found but didn't really like it. I thought maybe someone has a 'perfect' homemade recipe.

Nothing is ever perfect when it comes to food and spices since everyone's tastes and expectations are different. You have to be your own guinea pig in most cases.
