What's changed? Well... during checkout, you'll now be able to log in and redeem directly during the checkout process as opposed to having to go into your account and redeem points, save your code, then manually enter it. It is now very easy and straightforward.

RECIPE:
How about a nice dry rub for your grilling needs this holiday weekend?
RANDOM DRY RUB #9 (Umami-heavy)
Ingredients:
40 g koji powder (dried rice koji, ground fine)
10 g porcini mushroom powder
8 g kosher salt
5 g black garlic powder
4 g toasted nori, ground to a powder
3 g freshly ground black pepper
Instructions:
- Mix everything until evenly combined. Store in an airtight jar.
- Pat meat dry. Coat all sides with a thin, even layer of the rub.
- Set the meat on a wire rack over a tray, uncovered, in the fridge for 24β48 hours.
- Scrape or rinse off the paste. Pat dry. The meat is already seasoned; cook as usual (it will brown quickly).
Note: Koji enzymes tenderize the meat and add dry-aged-style umami in a day or two. Donβt go past 48 hours or the surface can get too firm. For a same-day rub, use a lighter coat and skip the long rest.
