There's The Rub!


David drove to San Antonio and bought a smoker.  
Well my husband is a native Texan and the purchase of a
new smoker can only mean one thing ~
brisket.




He needed a dry rub, so that job went to me.  Let's see garlic powder, paprika, brown
sugar, cumin, chili powder, Kosher salt, freshly ground black pepper ...
measure and mix.




Off to the freezer to get a brisket.  Well, I actually pulled one out yesterday.
See all the meat?  Our good friends bought a steer at auction being shown
by their nephew.  This purchase will help pay for their nephew's college
tuition next year so it was a win win for everyone.  And we are very 
lucky to be the recipients of a deep freezer full of beef straight from the
butcher.  When David came home with all this meat I felt like Lucy
and the home freezer.



My job is done.  Beef is thawed and rubbed down really well.





Now it's all up to one man and his smoker.
Of course I get to prepare the sides and do all of the clean-up
afterwards, but David will get all the glory :-)


Seasonal Sundays

Normally Bentley loves being out in his yard, but he
doesn't like the smoke, so he's staying inside and taking a nap.


Big Texas Hugs,
Susan and Bentley

  9. Oh boy, we love this all over the world too! I'm smelling the delish odors of meats and chicken from your hubby's smoker. We had one in our huge house and I miss it sometimes now that we live in our condo high rise pent house; but hubby gave it to our Sil, so when we go there he always does a Sunday lunch in it for all times and hubby gladly helps, lol! Thank you for your sweet visit.
    Hugs,

  14. That's a good lookin' brisket and a good lookin' smoker so it can only be delicious.
    The background I'm using on my blog reminded me of paper my mama used on my bedroom a hundred years ago. :)
