I am a firm believer that folks should share their biggest losses as well as their biggest wins, because folks can learn just as much from either one. š So here I am, and I got a story to tell! š
The good - so yesterday I tried a new cooking technique for brisketā¦ sous vide-que! Long story short, it was an absolute game changer. Iāve done some good and great brisket over the years (along with making some shoe leather of course lol), but this was the first ācompetition first place prize winner levelā brisket of my life! šŖ Yeahhhh baby, I am a barbecue MASTER!!! šššŗšŗšŗ
The bad - I decided to try TWO new recipes yesterday. Now anyone whoās been playing the game for a while knows the Barbeque Gods typically frown on that sort of hubris, but I was cocky and did it anyway. š Between that decision and the booty dance I did around the kitchen island over my brisket success, the Gods decided I needed a karmic adjustment - and oh baby did they deliver in spades! š¤£š¤£š¤£
The second of the two new recipes was my first ever crack at from-scratch baked beans! Sounded yummy, seemed simpleā¦ here, you can take a look at the recipe for yourself.

Sauce was delicious, so I have hope for the next attempt and I think itāll be a solid win. š As for THIS attemptā¦ yeahhhhh, yours truly missed the line in the recipe instructions to the tune of ācheck the softness of the beans before proceeding to the next stepā. š
SO, I wound up with some really deliciousā¦ baked PEBBLES!!! š¤£š¤£š¤£ I think you would agree from the pic that they LOOKED great but my God, Iām pretty sure I may have chipped a tooth! š¤£š¤£š¤£
The ugly - youāll also notice the potato salad in the picture. Got lazy and went store bought instead of making it (mistake #1)ā¦ tried a brand Iāve never had before (mistake #2, as a third āfirst timeā thing in a given meal surely didnāt help my standing with the Gods)ā¦ and didnāt look at the ingredients before I threw it in the cart (mistake #3). š Thats three strikes and youāre out folks - probably the worst potato salad Iāve ever tasted! Who on Godās green earth puts PICKLE RELISH in potato salad?!? š¤¢š¤¢š¤®
With learning having occurred and my ego firmly back in check, I will march forward to the next adventure. š¤
