Dinner on the way.

Marinated vegetables and bacon/sun dried tomato sausage. All of the vegetables were grown in Ontario, some within 30km of home. The sausage was made in the grocery store right here in town.

Let there be brisket

Let there be brisket

I had the idea to smoke a beef brisket this weekend. So I ordered one up from our local meat packer, which buys its fresh meat from sources within a 100 mile radius. Opened the package yesterday and discovered that it will not all fit in the smoker. Here you see 1/2 of it, about five lbs. Rinsed and patted dry, a little salt and pepper sprinkled on it, coming up to room temperature. Now, off to start the smoker.
