Thanks deelady. If we do just dry rubs, no marinades, this would work great.

For a marinade swap you would just do recipes with the dry ingredients and then tell what wet to add. Example, my fave steak marinade for the longest time was Worchestire sauce, garlic salt, and course ground pepper. In this thought process I would send the garlic salt and course ground pepper and the recipe would would include the amount of Worchestire sauce needed.

I love this idea. I think dry rubs and marinades should be different in this case. I should say dry rubs/spice blends.

I was planning on botteling mine up in these small shakers they sell at Cost Plus World Market for 50 cent each. They are a great size for giving away. I can't wait to go get the stuff I will need and to decide on a blend.

would we give recipes...

I'm in - just tell me what to do, how many to do, and when to do it!

Thought in progress - everyone stand back! Shaker bottles are cute but if we just use a ziplock bag it sure would be easier to mail!

[deelady]

Sure why not Luvs!

And I knew we could count on you KE!

Oh and ziplocks are fine....anything will work! I just happened to know where I could buy them for cheap but if you think it would be better to have them all done the same way thats fine with me!

Flat rate boxes are just under $9. We could do those instead of envelopes. Most marinades don't need to be refridgerated. The meats we put in them do, but not the actual marinade if it doesn't contain dairy. I know none of my marinades need to be refridgerated.

IMO, we would definitely include recipes, that's kind of the point to swapping. Sure, we could just post recipes on the net, but this is so much more fun.
