Thanks, egg-forum, for being kinda cool and there when I need ya
I brought a brisket that I forgot about (designated for brisket camp in NOLA) - has been in my manbearcave fridge for over a month, but was slightly frozen. We cut off the flat and excised the fat from the point and ground it up with some applewood smoked bacon.
All kind of logistics in motion here.....my two brothers live in town...mom didn't have a grill. I told her to buy one and she bought an $8 grill from HEB. I had 15 8oz burgers to cook.
Fast forward, leaf blower, matchlight came with the grill, used that to start some decent briquettes, etc... I did a fantastic cook with caveman tools. In a pinch, my training from this forum paid off.
I'll post another thread about the cook, it was hilarious and delicious, but the main point is connecting with family.
I met my grandson, who was born under 3 weeks ago, his due date was less than a week ago. Beautiful child. I met other family from the other side from Seguin, TX and they're awesome people. I can't express enough how much I like this family and how we connected. We had 4 generations here and it was a blast.
CAB brisket, ground with bacon, cooked on a tiny grill, and it was my b-day with family. Good times.

PS - I just hung out with my mom (I'm at her crib) and it's what life if about - family, connections, BBQ. The cake was delicious. I am 50 now and I'm a muthaf*ckin' grandfather and it is seared and done and awesome. Moving on, watching the young move on. NOLA OUT.

Good deal Nola, there is no doubt in my mind if anyone could pull off a great cook with bare necessities it would be you or your other brother SGH. Glad you had a good time, look forward to seeing you again.Lenoir, N.C.

@nolaegghead Congrats on your grandbaby and Happy Birthday. I agree with @piney, after Brisket Camp, I do not think there is anything you can't do.

Happy Birthday @nolaegghead in more ways than one. You and a grand baby, plus being with family. It just doesn't get any better. Well, you could throw in an Eggfest with your "egg" family too to top it off. I so enjoyed meeting you in Salado and hope you come back this year. I have to tell you, I dreaded turning 50 but hang on because they are a blast. Happy days to you and yours.Judy

Congratulations and happy birthday.
Confused...did you grind the point or the flat for the burgers? Might just be me and not through a whole cup of coffee yet.
