I am excited to travel to my dear friend, Rebeccas, on Tues. We're having a reunion with old friends from Cabo in Birch Bay Washington. I remember being in that area a couple of times years and years ago and my memories are always of fresh salmon and fresh blueberries!! We would go to Washington Salmon fishing in the fall and it was great fun to bring fresh salmon and tubs of fresh blueberries back to Wyoming. We would grill the salmon outside......the only thing you do to fresh salmon on the grill is rub the flesh with mayo....Some people seal the salmon in foil but I like it whole on the grill.....you get a little bit of browning on the edges..Then I would make fresh blueberry pie......still can taste that meal........was so special.
So this time of the year we are so blessed with wonderful fresh berries, blueberries, blackberries, raspberries and of course strawberries (I grow my own) Poor Bob gets berry pie, fresh berry syrup for pancakes, berry muffins, berry cheesecake and of course my favorite just plain ole handfuls of any kind of berry! And they are soooooo good for you. Misty made a wonderful berry combo for Tosh's graduation party.......Eric picked all the raspberries out.....but I forgive him.......they were so good!
Berry syrup.......Take a couple cups.......set aside half of them......put the other half in a pan with a TINY drop of water.......dump a handful of sugar on top and cook down on low heat. When all is hot......mash a bit with your masher and then throw in the whole berries.........cool......and use on homemade waffles or pancakes smothered in butter.......Oh, my, my mouth just started to water!!!

HELLO AGAIN!! BRISKET AND MY GARDEN
Sorry haven't been on here for awhile but kind of going through a difficult time.......then I realized that I really enjoy doing this........probably more than you all enjoy reading it.......its sort of a diary.....I guess. So here I go again........
I have been enjoying my garden and my flowers so much this year. Our weather here in Oklahoma is just perfect right now. Have had just enough rain to get by and wonderful cool mornings with really warm afternoons. We recently added a roof to our little patio out back and I can't tell you how much I enjoy sitting out there. Have lots of potted flowers everywhere. I can't seem to get enough flowers and just today planted a few more that Walmart was almost giving away as they were on their last days and just hadn't been cared for. I noticed something today that seems to be a reoccurring event with gardening......have you noticed that as soon as your hands are really muddy.......that either your nose starts itching or starts running?! Yeh, always happens! I planted two tomato plants.......one died instantly......but the other!!........wow.......I just counted 36 tomato's on it!!! I had forgotten how wonderfully delicious tomato's are.......right off the vine.........no comparison.
I found this recipe in an old "Cowboy Cookbook".......and it is the best. Haven't cooked alot of briskets in my day, just because I was never happy with how they turned out........after this recipe.......I'll never use anything else.......I think its the beer that breaks down the brisket......whatever it is........it really works. Give it a try.
3 or 4 lb brisket
1 onion sliced
1 cup of chili sauce
1 minced clove of garlic
1 12oz can of beer
Dump it all in a baking pan. Since brisket is usually real long........I use a cast iron 10 x 13. Cover tightly with foil and bake at 350 for 3 to 4 hours......Remove foil...Brown for about 20 to 30 min.......in same pan, same temp........Slice to serve. I promise it will be the best you will ever eat!
