So, my mom gave me a couple of corned beef briskets because she needed the room on her freezer for something else.  One of the briskets is pretty small, a little over 3.5 lbs.  Is there any way to turn a corned beef brisket back to a regular brisket?  Like what if I soaked it in plain water all day and changed the water every once in a while would all the briny stuff leach out or is that stuff just permanently in there?

Make pastrami


Yeah, the easy thing to do would just be to smoke it as is for homemade pastrami. But I would probably get tired of it after a couple of Reuben sammiches whereas I could stuff my face for days on end with good brisket.
You can eat pastrami, straight up.  Pro tip.

yeah i could stuff my face for days on end with good pastrami. don't know where brock was going with this.

should you brine chicken leg quarters?  Or is that just for boneless cuts of chicken, pork, etc.

Fwiw, I don't brine and always have juicy chicken. Smoker, grill, roasted, doesn't matter as long as you do it right.

Part of the joy of fajitas for me is turning a ridiculously cheap piece of meat into a masterpiece.  Getting to tougher to find the meat tho.

i went to mcgonigles and as i always do, asked for the brisket with the biggest point they had.  was huge, made a crap load of burnt ends.  this piece of meat took forever to cook, was on for almost 13 hours (8.5 lbs @ 250)

Kinda sad how the "butchers"  in most places seldom do much actual butchering.   Maybe try a larger/nicer Dillons?   The amount of services available seems to  increase quite a bit the bigger they build them.

I don't think either the hyvee or the hen house next to me do either.  Or they want 7 bucks a pound for it.

a coworker gave me a bunch of sweet peppers friday so i'm going to pickle some and then decided to make sunday dinner out of the rest.

stuffed with shrimp, veggies, breadcrumbs & parmesan and then wrapped with bacon or prosciutto and onto the grill.

Okay, so what are sweet peppers?   Like the guys that look like small bell peppers?

Looks pretty similar to the bag I bought.   Maybe they're immature bell peppers?   I have no idea.   Definitely delicious though.

Nah bells are dark green the whole time. I don't know the name but they are good pickled. I grew some last year and quick pickled them on the stove most of the time.
