My wife and mother in law made fried catfish, fried taters, home made Cole slaw and fried corn bread. I'm not big on corn bread but the rest was delisous.

My first brisket on the GmG today, so far I started it at 4am,
I didn't follow the salt and black pepper standard, went with my fav Santa Maria seasoning I use on everything,
This was all done the night before so the rub could sit for a bunch of hours

Than on the smoker at 225 till internal temp was 165, about 7 hours. Than pulled and wrapped in paper until the next internal temp is hit of 200.  I'll post pictures of the cut meat as son as possible

seems like a long cook for just a flat.  I started using the skewer method to determine doneness.

Dave as a brisket nears completion, and the fat starts to render, it becomes tender. When inserting a skewer, you'll notice it slides in like it's going into butter, very little resistance. Another method is how flexible it feels when you pick it up.

Ok. Three racks of ribs today. Three different ways. All used my same rub, but one was not spritzed/mopped, one was spritzed with apple juice and one was mopped in a vinegar sauce that had pepper, brown sugar, salt, white vinegar, crushed red pepper flakes and Texas Petes hot sauce.  I really really liked the vinegar/ pork combo.  Wow.

Ok, so broiled 2 of the smaller trout. Gave the 2 smallest away. These barely fit into the broiler.
 
Used, a stick of butter, teaspoon of minced garlic, salt/pepper with slices and of lemon and some rosemary from the back yard.

Broiled for 25 min, sauteed once.

In my sons words, "this is wonderful!" He ate half the small one

Confession/Announcement:

Menses, after much thought and study, I switched to a plant based diet this past week.

Virtually every malady that afflicts modern Americans comes from our animal meat foods. There is alot to discuss, so maybe I'll set apart a section to talk about that, but I am convinced beyond a doubt that we humans are designed to eat plants, and that our US food culture based on meat, eggs and dairy is killing us.

I thing a big part of readiness is health and I had noticed a loss of performance and a couple more pounds here and there with advancing age.

I run a church security ministry where I train and train with some pretty good folks every week. I had noticed my performance wasn't what it should be when going 100% against a bag or another person over and over for an hour.

Last Saturday was the last time any animal product touched my lips, so its only been a few days. But today when working on the C-Max, installing that rear sway bar, I noticed my knees and back were not hurting! As in not at all!

I am 63, and in reasonably good condition, but my weight has been creeping uphill and touched 260 a time or two! I am 6'3" and of a large frame, so I carry it pretty well, but I can also feel it, especially when fight training with the thirty year olds.

I do things best all at once. Just dive in and get on with it. Got saved that way. One minute a hell raiser, the next, redeemed and actually in love with the Lord! Did special ops that way. Just decided to join and dove in. So I did this the same way. No weening off my beef jerky, nope I just set all that aside and turned into a hippie!

I can say, I feel great, and I am dropping weight.

I'll post up a new thread down in Personal Readiness. Lets see where this takes me...

I think your going to need to start a new forum Don.   Jk,   I have had close friends who have switched to the veggie diet with great results.  I still like my meat so I trudge on.   

My salmon turned out so good that I didn't wast time with photos.  I devoured it

As usual I think the real answer lies in the middle of all the fads

Less sugar, less fatty corn fed protein, less chemicals, more veggies, less GMO, less processed food.

Shiratake noodle Yakisoba:

1 package of fettuccini style shiratake noodles. Drain, rinse, pan fry dry, no oil, until fluffy and squeaky. (you'll know) set aside.
1 red pepper 
1 white onion
1 small broccoli crown
3-5 large shootake mushrooms
2-3 green onions/scallions
1 clove of garlic, crushed and minced
1 Tblsp fresh cilantro
1/2 tsp toasted sesame seeds
1 Tblsp low sodium soy sauce or Tamari
Siracha to taste
1 Tblsp rice vinegar
vegetable oil
Toasted sesame oil

Add enough vegetable oil to hot saut? pan to cover the bottom and saut? the mushrooms until browned and set aside. Stir fry peppers and onions and broccoli until just starting to soften, then add garlic and as much sesame oil as you like for the flavor. toss in the pan until the garlic is cooked through and add mushrooms back to the pan. add half cilantro and sliced green onions and noodles and toss to evenly distribute. add rice wine vinegar and soy sauce and saut? for a couple minutes, tossing frequently. Put it all in a bowl or large plate and top with the rest of the scallions and cilantro, siracha and toasted sesame seeds. I like a squirt of lime and shrimp, but you could go tofu just as easily.
