I woke up to the smell of smoke. Mmm! Ok, that's probably something you have never heard before. And it does sound pretty funny, I admit. Jack put a brisket and burnt ends on the smoker last night and set it for low and slow. Which means it cooks at a lower temperature for a longer amount of time. Here are a few pictures, out of order...
Jack's lunch:
burnt ends, brisket, baked beans and oriental cole slaw.
No it's not ketchup - it's Gates Sauce.
Yum!
< Trimmed point.
> Cubed and foil sauced.
Can you smell it?
The kids both survived the night. I woke up a little after 6:00 and sent Annie a text. I was surprised to get a quick reply. Everyone else was asleep. Thankfully my text did not wake her. She wasn't ready to come home so I picked her up at 10:00. Happy and 6 hours sleep - well rested.
Jake and his friend, Jack were up at 7:45. They didn't say anything to me about the skate park and played Xbox all morning. I think Jack would have been happy to spend the whole weekend. :-) He had never had burnt ends before, so lunch was an adventure, but he really like them. We took him home around 1:30.
The kids had fun playing Skate City on Xbox.
Jack made beans and rice for dinner. I love it when he's in the a cooking kind of mood!
Family movie night. We watched The Hunger Games. I shut my eyes and plugged my ears a couple times. I cried. It was very good.
