Hey, you stole our weather! It's been close to that here for the last 2 weeks, but much cooler today. The beef looks eggceptional. We are having a party for the Daytona 500 and I am thinking of making Italian beef. Was wondering how far in advance I could make it, seeing yours done a week ahead lets me know. Thanks!

FlaPoolman

I'll chill it for a day or two before running it through the slicer then vac seal

Looking good down there Pat. 85 sure looks warm.

25 was nice for a day on the slopes with the boys.

FlaPoolman

Susan let me know and I'll clear a landing area for you

FlaPoolman

Susan I'll toss the brisket in the freezer and reheat like the one in Ocala. The sirloin I'll reheat with the peppers and onions and it should look like this



But maybe you should head down just to make sure

FlaPoolman

Faith,, where did you find the "good" peppers? I haven't had much luck around here

FlaPoolman

Maybe :laugh: :laugh:

There was a tendon there that I cut out

Thats my story and I'm sticking to it

Susan Egglaine

I can taste it now! I am sure you did some quality control test :laugh:

lowercasebill
