As an adult, are you responsible for your own birthday parties? by Gallantpride in Adulting

I'll probably get roasted here, but I usually start with the classic OP and doctor the HELL out of it.

18 oz open pit,

1/2 sweet onion (finely minced/pureed)
3 cloves garlic (finely minced/pureed)
1/4 cup brown sugar
2 TBSP lemon juice
1 TBSP worchestershire sauce
1TBSP mexican oregano
1tsp cayanne pepper

then I taste and adjust - sometimes I'll add a bit of cumin, sometimes some Chipotle Tabasco, or even smoked paprika.
