Mama Bruno’s Spaghetti with Spicy Red Sauce & Clams

Red is Better than White,

Left Over Beef Brisket

The Wrap Up
If you are ever in the position of having a frig load of beef brisket on hand: Just Wrap It Up. As you know from a few postings ago, I made my first brisket. That, by the way, turned out way better on the first try than any dish should.

“Oktoberfest. More on that later”

It was the beer talking,…
A post or two or three ago I mentioned that a few workmates, while we were sitting at the Bell, were hitting me up to be the 07′ O’Fest guide. Since then the peer pressure has waned, and I’ve come to my senses. There is no doubt that I love Munich, enjoy any [...]

Beef Brisket – The Conclusion

Brisket doesn’t get better than this!
In conclusion, for my first try, the brisket turned out fabulous, tasty, juicy and delicious. The marinade did its job leaving behind an orangey-teriyaki flavor. It also did a fine job of tenderizing the meat. For such a short cooking time it was amazing how tender the meat was.

The peppers seemed well preserved and lacking in any sign of [...]

History 3160 – Medieval Yorkshire

A Struggle of a Paper.
Just got off a mid and thought I would post an easy entry: My Term Paper.  This was without a doubt the least enjoyable paper I had to write. This was mostly due to the dry and poorly written textbook (Sheeran’s ‘Medieval Yorkshire Towns – People, Buildings and Spaces) that the [...]
