spent 7 hours cooking a brisket. it turned out pretty awesome.
cooked it an hour per pound, plus some extra. soaked it in coffee the last few hours in the egg. the meat was insanely tender - perfect. but some of it was stringy. you know what i mean? thoughts on that?

I'd somehow forgotten that he was made both an Honorary Marine and an Honorary Navy SEAL, because those were his dreams of serving before the cancer changed the plans. We got up there and there had been a wreath laid on his grave since December 13th. Ken and I have often thought if we hadn't lost him to cancer, at home on hospice surrounded by loved ones he could have been killed the same day in Afghanistan, far away from home.
Praying for everyone else who's missing someone in this Christmas season.
