I've never done brisket before, but I'm planning on it this week. Where did you buy yours? I was planning on Kenricks but it's a little out of the way.

Also thinking about brining it with apple juice.

I mostly stick to grass fed beef these days so I got it at the Farmer's Mkt, from http://mightaswellranch.com/. First sliver was delicious. just waiting on the gratin now.

U gotta have salt in ur brine. Marinate or spray with apple juice while cooking will work. I did a pork tenderloin yesterday that I seasoned before I froze it and it turned out nice and tender. Smoked using cherry wood...

I know.

I think I'm going to rub it with salt, wrap it, and put it in my fridge overnight. Then while it's smoking just paint it with juice. One of the chefs I work with recommended that I do it that way instead so the beef doesn't get mushy.

Legrands is a good call. Don't know why I didn't think about that.

I finally bought a cheap mandoline at Sur la Table and I'm not sure why it took me this long. Probably because i wanted a really nice one, but this does a great job at least as a slicer. I've made potato wrapped cod and fettucine out of zucchini, among other things. I'm going to take a chunk out of my palm and thumb soon, but it'll be worth it.

Speaking of pasta, lobster or shrimp stock with cream and some fresh shrimp and a few veggies is a really easy and quick way to impress a few people.

My wife made a really nice pot roast the other night. Then she made pot roast hash in the morning. Holy crap it was incredible.

Is Oprah behind this?
