About to rub this grassfed brisket down with some olive oil, garlic and ginger. On the barbie tomorrow.
As one of my Facebook friend pointed out, it has “love” to give.

So, we’ve got more meat to eat!

About two years ago, my formerly-vegetarian wife suggested we buy a chest freezer and go halvsies with some church friends on a side of local, grassfed beef. Aside from my wedding, the birth of our son, the first Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie, and discovery of beer, this was the most monumental day of my life! I had no concept of the quality and quantity of beef we were buying. Seriously, if you have a pink highlighter around you, that’s the vibrancy and color of the ground beef! You’ve never eaten a tastier cut of beef before (Waygu perhaps excepted). (more…)

Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name. Psalm 100:4
Our first grain-and-refined-sugar free Thanksgiving was a resounding success, if I do say so myself.
Thanksgiving at our house is also a maturity test

I’m staring at a bowl of green beans that needs to be cleaned, so I’ll try to make this brief. Last night, I rubbed my bird with the Pavo al Horno rub and wrapped in plastic before placing in the fridge. I’l going to let y’all in on a little secret for getting a perfectly-cooked bird.
Mexican turkey for an American holiday?

We’ve been hosting both wings of the family at our home for several years–since we got the Big Green Egg. The first year, I looked for something special to do with the turkey. I found it in the Bomb Brine. I don’t know who this “TJW” guy is. But he apparently has a PhD in flavor. I’ve served turkey with this brine every year except one. That year was … not as good.

Just a quick note to say I’m enjoying Saturdays ribs for the fourth straight day. This will sadly be the end of them, as I passed out a few bones around the office yesterday at lunch. I may have to make a few extra slabs just to hand out and keep my own lunch to myself next time. I can hear the vultures sniffing the air across the expanse of cubicles.
Oh, and as an attempt at a workaround for the “frosty beer at work” dilemma, I found a few bottles of Jones Root Beer and Cream Soda at the bottom of the cooler after the ice melted. Mmmm. Tasty!

Didn’t post these last night due to the rush to get the chicken off and resting before the guests arrived. Also only got two other beer shots. Luckily, there’s a LOT of beer left, so I’ll be able to do decent shots and reviews over the next few days. But here’s some more BBQ shots.
