Good Weekend

Hello everyone, this is Morry.

I think it's been a good weekend.  Yesterday, Rachel started her morning going for a bike ride.  She had a nice 15 mile bike ride before it got too hot.

I decided to smoke my first brisket.  We bought a 12 pound brisket but I decided to cut it in half to try with a smaller size first.  Really, after trimming the fat, it probably was closer to a 9 or 10 pound brisket.  So the brisket I cooked was between a 4 and 5 pounder.  I put the meat on the smoker around 11am and got it off around 7pm.  It was a lot of work but it seemed to work.  Evan said the brisket was better than Rudy's.

Rachel went to a baby shower for Laurent in the afternoon.  Noah and I watched the Dark Knight.

Evan actually didn't eat the brisket with us last night.  He went to Reid's house and stayed over night.  When I picked him up to take him to baseball this morning, I brought some brisket so he'd have protein for baseball.

Evan had a 3 hour scrimmage in very humid and hot temperatures.  He pitched and inning and caught two innings.  He did well in both positions.  He struck out and walked in his two at-bats.

We got home in the late afternoon.  Evan was home just a little while before Reid and his dad picked him up and they went to play tennis together.

For dinner, we picked up Grandma and Papa, then picked up Evan from tennis, and went to Chen Z for dinner.  The service was just ok, but the food was good.

The boys are upstairs playing right now.

Until next time...
