The smell of that beef brisket is making me drool already!

I am oven roasting a beef brisket for the first time, and that SMELL has already got me drooling. How on earth am I supposed to make it to dinner time with a house that smells this good? I have it double wrapped in foil in a 325 oven. I rubbed it down with olive oil and spices and that SMELL is just amazing after only 90 minutes!

Cross your fingers for us, I dunno if we are gonna be able to make it to dinner time.

1. Wish I was there. Hope you didn't break down and eat it too soon.

It is not all that wonderful if it isn't cooked long and slow.

I miss Texas sometimes, and all the brisket.

2. I completely recognize that impulse...

...as I have carved thick slices off of roasts and such
that are STILL in the process of being cooked.

Sometimes it just smells SO good that it would be
downright CRUEL to deprive one's self of a preliminary
sample.

3. Just remember

if you eat it too soon, it's not going to taste nearly as good as it will once it's really done.

Enjoy your dinner! :hi:

6. It was worth the wait!!! Goodness abounds, I'm making that again!

Six hours on low heat with that SMELL perfuming the house! I pulled it out and let it rest for 15 minutes then carved it. It was so tender and so full of flavor that it didn't even need sauce on it! Served it up with broccoli with cheese, super sweet corn, hot crispy whole wheat rolls, and my sauce on the side. I am happy to report leftovers, and I am delighted to report a debate over who GETs the leftovers for lunches!

I love days when I am home and feeling like cooking!
