Friday night brisket

Stopped at the RD and picked up a 15 pound packer, after trimming, it is closer to 12 pounds.
i have a great Cabernet, Sequoia Grove, a Rutherford fave of mine, 2011, the best vintage since 2007.  If you like cabs, get this one. Holds well on the shelf for 25 years, except, around me 25 minutes would be better than my usual.
just waiting for the stall....

  • Got one in the fridge(brisket, not cab). Trying to get motivated to prep and cook tonight. Whiskey is winning at the moment.

    @theyolksonyou I hear you brother. I started on a basil right after work with some of my enablers, and as the prepping process started, pulled up the SG. It is a great night to be cooking in Louisville. Cool, not cold, and the aroma is bringing folks out of the house.

    Enjoy your night, your cook, and your wine tonight Ron.

    I didn't pull anything out - feels "off" to not have something being cooked overnight on a Friday.  Almost unsettling.

  • Having absolutely nothing to do tomorrow short of working around the house(no kid activities) I made the executive decision to continue drinking and cook tomorrow. Should be a lazy day in the garage.

    The greatest barrier against all wisdom, the stronghold against knowledge itself, is the single thought, in ones mind, that they already have it all figured out.

    Yeah, the further I get into my wine rack, this might just end up as burnt ends and chili.

  • Putting on a butt in a couple of hours.  This way, I'll be rewarded at the end of my long day of drinking tomorrow!

    Louisville?  What 

    Yeah, first time I have ever lived in a city in my life. Kind of cool, actually. Great music scene going on here, great place for foodies, and I live in the Highlands area where the number one complaint is having to walk "almost" two blocks to get to either a bong shop or a liquor store. It is crazy here, and one of the best kept secrets, ever.
