Weekend Plans

I'm making gumbo for my ex this weekend, but the way things are going lately I don't think ex is going to apply much longer. I'll let y'all know how it goes.

isn't that the same as taking a carton of bad milk out of the fridge?? you know it's bad but you put it back in like it will be fresh again the next time you take it out.

an ex is an ex for a reason, and it should stay that way.

I don't know, nick. Maybe by being an "ex" he has learned what a good thing he had to begin with and has changed.

how many times do you have to hit yourself in the head with a hammer before you say "owww...that really hurts"??

I get together with my ex every now and then.
We know each other better than anyone else probably, share a lot of opinions, an enjoy spending time with each other.
A long weekend is great..........but we both know it can't go beyond that.

Is this the mother of your children?

You're preaching to the choir, bubba. ;D

We didn't break up because either of us were jackasses. We broke up because we had way too much crap going on at the time. His brother was facing heart surgery, and I thought I had cancer. We both kind of turned inward during all that. Luckily his brother is doing great, and I don't have breast cancer. We know each other better than even our own families. Share most of the same opinions, like a lot of the same art and literature, and the sex is mind blowingly great. He also likes my cooking, in fact I'd go so far as to say he loves my cooking.

Well, lets see what the better half has in store for me. Saturday, work on the new carport and fence,cook a brisket. Sunday, work on the carport and fence, heat up the left over brisket. It's too damn cold down here to drink beer, but I'll give it the old collage try, I'll bet. :) ;) :D ;D

Knowing Hoss, he'll start with mesquite in the pit, drench the bark with a hell of a lot of starter fuel, place a rack on top, put the assigned brisket on top of the rack, light a match, and touch it to the fuel sodden mesquite, causing the resulting explosion to send pit, wood, meat, and half of Odessa, Texas to high heaven...;D

No doubt...most likely at the moment of ignition he will be singing....

"I AM THE GOD OF HELL FIRE!!"

Hell, he probably sings that each and every summer. Don't you know just how HOT it gets in Odessa?

I did that once in Mesa, Arizona and it did fry.

I'll give it to ya, but then I'll have to kill ya. ;) Sodak's right about the mesquete wood, it's the best though any fruit wood works. Pick out your brisket by bending it until both ends touch. If it bends easy, it'll be tender. DO NOT COOK A TRIMMED BRISKET!!!!! It'll be so tough you can't eat it. Marinade a couple of days in the fridge using a good marinade. Mine consists of Itilian dressing, not the zesty kind, regular. Pour all over after using a brisket rubb. Cut yellow onions into rings and place all over it. Onion is a tenderizer as well. Get your fire going good, throw the brisket on, fat side up. Sear until, well, seared. Turn it over fat side down and sear some more. Then move it off of the flames and leave fat side down for approx one hour per pound. The hotter the fire, the less time it takes to cook, but it won't be as tender. I have fire boxes on my pits, but if you don't, build the fire on one end of pit, sear over the fire then move to other end to slow cook. You might have to add a stick of wood or two to keep a good bed of coals. This is a good recipt. Give it a try. You can also wrap it up in tin foil after it sears and pour BBQ sauce over it and let it slow cook that way, but I prefer to leave the sauce off and add it when your eating. ENJOY!!!! :) ;) :D ;D
