Just picked up a 19 lb packer. My intention was for burger BUT decided to cut the point off and only use the flat for burger.

Did a % comparison of the different parts (seeing as brisket sales are few and far betweeen here so:

I always thought the flat weighed more but....? And I know it was the point as it was much fattier than the leaner flat.

Chef spinach salad for dinner. Took my first shot ever at making some soft caramel. I hope all that work turn out to be a labor of love.

I have a 3-ingredient caramel recipe that is outstanding but my G’awd, the stirring.

My BFF is always asking me to make some. This is a pic of a portion of a batch I made for her birthday last year.

I'm going lazy today. Open a can of refried beans, smear on flour tortillas, sprinkle shredded mozzarella, fold in half and brown on a griddle until the cheese melts.

I added a bit of Tajin seasoning to my tacos, just enough to let you know it was there but not enough to make you shut one eye and grimace or wince. It was good.

Those are extremely pretty.

Not sure which hurt more my arm or my feet. Plus the stupid glass top electric stoves are very hard to get it hot enough.

I assure you I will use a deeper pan next time. There were good enough that in time there will be a next time. Based on the amount in that tiny bag from Kroger I'm prettey sure I was well paid for my time.

Tiny metal cookie cutters for the win!

Today will be the King Ranch chicken casserole. One of my favorites and the kids like it too.

What am I cooking today? I'll let you know when I get home from the grocery store.

Impossible. There is ALWAYS something "you never knew you needed" out there 🤣🤣

I delayed King Ranch Chicken casserole to today. It has just emerged from the oven.

I'm in the mood to bake. Not too sure what yet other than a Chocolate Wowie Cake. I've been craving carrot cake, so I might make that, too.

For Saturday's dinner I am currently taking a shot at cooking some brisket to make Birria Tacos.

As all of the dozen or so sites and videos were geared toward making a much larger batch we will have to wait and see how it turns out. As I always do I compared the various versions 'cause they sure don't agree.

 

[LeonardoDaBenz]

How big? I"ve done a 11lb packer in 5 hr (using foil to get past the stall) AND high heat (350o IIRC) on a smoker but if you're looking at say 4lb (maybe just the point?), I"d consider this one in the oven.

The point is my favorite but I suspect most of them end up in 'brisket burger'. I've cut meat in 4 states and the points have always been hard to get by themselves. When I was an apprentice (in Ohio) we got a couple of cases of points one time and the customers were complaining about how fatty they were. However, bisket burger patties became trendy a few years back. The point will give you around that 80-20 ratio most chefs rep.

I have baking in mind for tomorrow and to keep myself motivated when tomorrow comes I've pulled out my recipes and all the dry ingredients are ready to go for in the morning.

I'm making a glazed honey bun cake for a breakfast pastry and one of the boys wants his gingerbread cake.

Thankfully it will be cold tomorrow so running the oven for a while won't hurt.

My baking didn't happen today because I got involved in a long overdue project and I'm glad I did. I'm feeling pretty good this evening so I might just make the Chocolate Wowie Cake since it's simple enough.

Tomorrow is a possibility for more, it's going to depend on the weather. Our woodstove doesn't heat the kitchen, but the electric stove does.

The only problem with that recipe is most Texans would rather die than admit to oven roasting their brisket. 😂

I guess I've been going against the grain all my life. I give brisket several hours in the Weber and several more in the oven to finish it. Works well for me. A free spirit as some have said.
