I realized that many of my posts as of late have been reflecting the hectic pace of our lives... but I wanted to make sure that it is understood that we definitely have fun as well. Our fun lately has revolved around our new smoker. John has become quite the chef... so feast your eyes on our most recent gastro-delight. :)

Our smoker is the size of a small child..

Unfortunately I forgot to get a picture of the brisket when it was finished. It looked amazing, and tasted even better. The only thing we are going to work on is timing.. The brisket didn't finish until about midnight or 1 am... So we weren't able to enjoy it until the next day really. But we certainly DID enjoy it. Haha.
We have some new rubs to try out from our recent trip to Texas.. which I'm sure means many more hours watching the smoker do what it does best - provide us with awesome smoked meats. :) We will also be busting into salmon in the near future. It takes a lot less time - so we might actually be able to have that for dinner.
Upcoming will be pictures of Truitt and Theresa's wedding in Magnolia, TX... talk of travels to visit JuliAnna in her beautiful home... and our trip to Dallas to cap it all off.
Mmmmm....smoked meats! I was looking forward to this post:) Glad you two made it home safely and enjoyed the rest of your trip through the grand ol' state of TX!!!! Let the recaps begin!
