I finally gave in and decided to go ahead and try making a brisket in the oven. I really miss the back home texas bbq, and one of the best things was a slow smoked brisket, which will be nothing like what comes out of the oven, but something better than nothing..
Have you ever baked anything at 275? It's sooo slow.. and the smell slowly permeates your home without you realizing, and now I've got another 2-3hrs to wait before I can even begin to think about eating this yummy smelling meat. :( oh, woe to me!
So starting off the new year in grandiose fashion by consuming some portion of protien. I havcen't gotten in my car yet. I did walk to the grocery store. I guess all in all I'm actually having a really really relaxing day. I've talked to some of my friends and I've finished tidying up my house. I even put my houseplants outside so they could catch some pseudo fresh air and sunlight. Perhaps next weekend I'll rain on all the leaves so I can get some of the what looks like indoor film off of their leaves. I think all my plants are actually doing well exccepting the lipstick vine. I have yet to figure out what is wrong with this lil guy :(. I don't see any parasites of any type, and I can't say the soil is too wet, or too dry but the leaves keep threatening to curl up and die :(. Visit to the nursery tomorrow :).
Ok this is evil,,. that brisket is starting to smell really really really damned good!
