A very happy 4th of July to you all! Unlike the Castillos and Laurie having fun in the cool scene of Idaho...the rest of us were here in the heat of the Valley. Daniel and I spent the 4th with the Hansen's. We tried our hand at BBQ pit cooking. We absolutely love brisket so we thought we could give it a try. So 10 o'clock Saturday night we put the 20 pounds of seasoned meat into the pit...covered it with carpet and dirt (yum right?).
Daniel had to work the next day so Corey helped me pull the meat out of the pit which was "supposed" to be ready at 8 AM. Right....not so much. I took the temp of the meat when I got it home and it was definitely not tender nor hot enough to serve to anyone other than some kind of wild carnivore. So back into the oven it went for another 4 hours. Then it was mighty tasty! Love brisket...but it sure is a fatty meat! Here are some pics from our 4th of July adventure. Porter liked the fireworks but was easily distracted by a tennis ball cousin Anders let him play with as he kept traipsing through Aaron and Lucy's front yard plants...sorry Aaron and Lucy. Apparently our son was born in a barn...a true destructive hick. But a cute one right? Notice the plaid Patriotic colors we sported for the occasion? Thought I would get out pics in and make Aunt Heather proud that Lindsey isn't the only one to post on the family blog! Plus...had to get them in before the Idaho pictures turn up!
