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.
