Happy T-day

Well Thanksgiving is only 4 days out... this week is going to be busy so despite my lack of thrilling content I will make some stuff up!! Ha ha.

Darren will be cooking for the T-day which means I get to be soux chef for the day (a glorified name for dishwasher, counter cleaner, ingredient getter/putter awayer, and presenter, amoung other things I wont mention.) I will not complain about his love to cook, it has definately expanded my plate of foods I love to eat.

I was raised on the basics... good food but basic good food-nothing fancy, nothing green, nothing more than salt, pepper and accent as far as I can remember. However the basic-ness of it I still remember feeding the dogs under the table, now I cant imagine what my mother could have made that could have been so gross hmmm.

Now we (I love to include myself in Darrens culinary adventures) have a recipe book full of secret concoctions and family favorites with one (maybe 2) unsuccessful disappointments... 1 being brisket.

Several times I have bought this big hunk-a-meat, he has cooked it and it tasted like a big chewy hunk-a-meat...

Last weekend i pulled out a brisket i had found on sale (of course) threw it on the counter and said... "lets try again"... it came out of the oven (after 5 hours) sat on the counter for one hour and was completely gone, it was the most tender tastiest meat (beef) i have ever had... we made another one last Sunday and another this Saturday for the game (this time we found a really big one so we might get leftovers.)

So this is my BLOG tribute to GOOD BRISKET.
Usually Darren takes pics of food I have tons but this ONE time he did not!
Happy T-day everyone and do enjoy some Good Eats!!
