Pat and I are planning on smoking our first full packer-cut brisket next weekend. Today we went out and bought the brisket. 13.8 pounds of tasty beef! We could have gone all the way up to 20 pounds but it is just going to be us, the Madigans & the Larkins for dinner on Sunday. We planned out our timetable, the spice rub, slather & smoke wood. We are going for a 12-15 hour cook starting around 9pm Saturday night, a mix of oak, hickory & mesquite for the smoke & a simple rub of mostly Hungarian paprika, salt, black pepper, garlic, dry mustard & cumin. It's going to be interesting!
We got sandwiches at this Vietnamese sandwich joint that Pat likes.
I had the BBQ pork sandwich. It was loaded with pork, onion, carrots & cilantro. Very tasty indeed. The new Michelob pale ale was fairly good too. A little on the light side, it could use a different yeast and maybe a warmer fermentation, but very good on the whole.
Shane came over and hung out for a bit.
Katie looks more & more grown up every time I see her.
It was a good day.
