smokin'

I bought Lane a smoker for his birthday almost a month ago, and we have had a lot of fun making all kinds of meats (his favorite, and sometimes only food group). This weekend, we made our best brisket yet for dinner while his mom was here visiting. I used this rub recipe and we smoked with mesquite wood chunks for about 7 hours.  We had corn casserole and wedge salads with homemade ranch. Definitely a fun and easy meal, and made me feel like maybe we aren't that far from Texas after all!

PS - notice the "smoke line" on our meat? yum.
