Supper this afternoon was a big pot of potat soup! Yummy! Kendra sure loved it! I was still getting the rolls out of the oven when Ken took pics of the table and Kendra.

I love this picture!

Now I want tater soup...maybe tomorrow. Tonight will be chicken broccoli casserole.

Good to the last drop soup.

 

[Blooie]

Oooh, it was, Sour. She'd never had it before, so she wasn't sure at first. By the time she was done she had it in her hair even!

A 12 pound packer cut brisket just getting started in the smoker with mesquite.
Check back in 8-12 hours.

@BBQJOE That looks good, I'm just not a big fan of mesquite ... could I have mine smoked with hickory or apple wood?

The problem with that is we just don't have any of that growing in this area.

Joe, or anyone else that smokes meat...

I have pecan hulls and read they're good to use in a smoker. Thoughts? I only have a little electric smoker at the moment.

How about cherry wood? Honey helped someone take down an old cherry tree and he brought branches home. good for smoking?

That's probably why I don't like mesquite, never had it until I moved to Wyoming and we had to buy our wood chunks for smoking. We tried mesquite and I was not impressed. We used sugar maple, apple wood and hickory prior to the move. Back in Wisconsin now, so trying Asian pear from a tree we cut down in the orchard area and apple trimmings from the tree in the front yard.
