Summer Cookout

Had some friends over on Saturday for a barbecue. I decided a while ago that I wanted to make brisket and just needed some people over to try it. The cooking process started at 2 am Saturday morning when I woke up and started the grill. After seasoning the meat and letting the grill heat up I put the brisket, all 11 pounds of it, on the grill and I went back to bed. The whole cooking processes didn't end until around 4 that afternoon, and it was worth the wait.

For sides I made some guacamole and buffalo chicken dip, and Laura made some chocolate chip cookies which didn't make it through the weekend (they were awesome). All of the food combined with a substantial amount of beer made for an excellent time. Here are some pictures from the party.






The recipe said 8-12 pounds of brisket would serve 8-12 people. Well I got 11 pounds for 10 people..... It was way too much. I think it could have served 20 people. Actually we had it for lunch on Sunday, and I'm eating it for lunch all this week.








David and I accidentally wore the same clothes. This shit always happens to me.
