It is fun to know there are so many of you out there reading my little blog.  Someone asked for a good brisket recipe, so here you go!

Brisket recipeA large brisket is a great idea for early in the week because you can have it on hand for an easy meal on a busy night or for lunches.  This recipe makes for a tender and tangy brisket… perfect to stand alone with veggies, in tortillas for tacos or chopped and tossed with barbecue sauce on a bun.

    Nice to have great ideas from the States. Have just spent two great weeks in Southern California in beautiful San Clemente with four days in Boston and Salem as well. We saw lovely autumn colours in Keene as well. Suz
