Brisket

I've found a system to cook brisket that is not too complicated.  It is smoking in the outside cooker for a few hours then into the oven to finish.  The oven has a controllable temperature so I can ensure it is evenly finished off and not dried out.  It is kind of a chore to do it especially in this heat but the payoff is huge.  I end up with a lot of brisket that I slice and vacuum seal in half a dozen bags and freeze.  It freezes well and we can pull out a bag of it to cook with eggs or add bbq sauce to and make sandwiches or just finger food.

Big bonus.  Zoe has to take pills two or three times a day and is resisting the standard rolled into cheese slices.  I discoverd that if I chop up the brisket really finely and mix it with flour and peanut butter and a little beef broth I can make pill pockets that she loves.  It is not expensive, not too difficult and she loves it.

I'm off to buy a brisket tomorrow to cook this weekend.
