    Pastrami Day!

    2 commercially corned brisket points, lightly trimmed and rubbed with Meathead's pastrami rub. Sat uncovered in the second fridge for over 2 days. Now in the smoker rolling Jealous Devil lump with cherry wood chunks:

        I had originally planned to smoke them yesterday, but I had to spend a few hours taking care of Barbara's 91 y.o. mother around the corner, so I changed it to today.

        Hope all is well with Barbara’s mother. Enjoy your pastrami.

        Thanks, Draznnl - She's ok, she's just old and doesn't get around very well on her own. She's a fall risk in her own home so we always need to have someone there with her.

      I bought a corned point on sale the other day. It will get the same treatment soon.

      Yours looks great.

          I'm a day or two behind. There's a commercial 4 lb corned beef soaking today, then on to the rub and smoking tomorrow and Monday.

          I got delayed by making a braised lamb shanks dinner for 4 yesterday. Turned out great!.

            I love lamb. That sounds delicious. I haven't had luck finding decent sized shanks around here.

              These were small, 24 oz. for two, but they were a perfect size for each guest. They came from Amazon Fresh. I usually buy the biggest ones I can from my local meat market, they have them frozen.

              We're on a lamb binge; I just made lamb stew with a boneless leg of lamb for St. Patrick's day.

              I searched high and low. Couldn’t find a leftover corned beef. Was hoping to do a dual cook, ribs and pastrami. Didn’t happen. Congrats and looks great!

                  I made a pastrami Reuben for lunch. It was very messy and the bottom didn't get toasted enough, but it was pretty tasty.
