James logged his activities related to developing rub recipes for pork roast over several months. In his first attempt, he let the coals get too cold and had trouble relighting them but the meat still turned out well. For a second attempt, he tried a spicy Mexican-style rub that his family did not like. For a third attempt, he created his own rub that tasted similar to the first successful one and expected it to turn out well for an event.
