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!
