Man. Why do you wanna start nasty rumors about the decent folks in Austin?
Most of 'em are good people who like to drink cheap beer and eat barbecue on
the weekends.
Now, if you were to say LA... That'd be a whole 'nother story.

Jeez,

I leave for the weekend and WOW! I'm glad to see afb came to the
assistance of one of their own in need. This was a distress call like
none I've seen before.
My thoughts and prayers are with Dave. He'll pull through and we'll be
here when he does! Great work guys.

That sounds like a great offer. However, I have some pre-existing plans
for the next couple of weekends but after that we could work something
out. Will give ya a call in the next couple of days and we can talk about
it. What part of SA do you live in? I am in the Marbach & 410 area.
Looking forward to having a chat with you.

Thanks for standing up for us, Nick. We're not ALL nuts out here. And
several of us still like red meat. I haven't tried to Q tofu and I'm not
about to start...

Hey, Red, Yer right! Ya can't Q tofu! Pan fry thin slices of the extra firm
in a little Mongolian Hot Oil, garlic and a touch of Oyster Sauce over a
smokey fire. I don't remember what the Iron Chef did on Battle Tofu, but I
like to serve it with grilled shrimp, smoked stuffed mushrooms, etc.

OTOH I'm thinking of trying my first brisket this weekend. Gonna look
through the recipe ideas I've gathered here and elsewhere and decide what
sounds best at the time. Gotta check El Cubano and the Argentine Meat
Market first: I think it's called 'quéjese pecho'(?) or sumpin like that.
Otherwise, Costco.

Viva el carne muerto!

Mea culpa. I didn't look that closely at the sorry SOB's headers. I still
stand by my defense of Austin, though. BJ's liable to be some
twenty-year-old nihilist who doesn't know how lucky we all are to be alive.

You can get good packer cut brisket at Sam's in a cryovac package. It's the
only decent meat that they sell since it' the only meat that hasn't got the
sodium-whatever-it-is injected.

Just a suggestion, if you can't find another source.

Nope, not today, BOB. I hit Sam's this morning intending to buy a packer,
only to find flats only. I asked the meat guy and he said they "can't get
packer cuts any more." Sam's can't get packer cuts? Hard to believe. I
bought a flat to corn and smoke for the company stream that's infested us
for awhile, but I sure was disappointed in no point on the brisket. At
least it isn't soaked in that brine that Walmart uses on damn near
everything.
Glad you all had a good time at the Silver River and wish I had been there
for the good eats and company.

DUH!!!!!
I meant Wally-World for the brisket! Also for the injected everything-else.
Sam's does have the best (around here) pork.

BJ's near me hasn't done much in the meat dept. yet. I'll re-join when there
meat department improves.

Thanks for pointing out my lack of attention.

Come to think of it, Dave owes me a couple of pictures posted in a.b.f.

Dave, I can wait, but I'd like to see the pictures. Maybe Harry can model
one of the shirts?

BOB, I have most of those ABF pictures archived. If you can give me
some
idea what you're looking for I'll repost them.
