We went to visit Jeff and Sabrina this afternoon. Sabrina is feeling worse, but she came down long enough to say hi and get me a cup of tea and a blanket. I cozied up on the love seat in the living room, and Sabrina went back up to bed. Jeff and his dad played pool.
Jeff had been working on the brisket for dinner since last night, concocting his spice rub and marinade and massaging the rub into the brisket. This morning he injected the marinade. The brisket went on the grill to be smoked for eight hours. Meanwhile he made potato skin appetizers, which were delicious. He made asparagus wrapped in bacon and baked in the oven. He made a big bowl of spinach salad, using the chef's knife like a professional.
Sabrina and I joined the guys as Jeff was putting the finishing touches on dinner. Sabrina sliced the brisket. Everything was delicious, including the Argentinan Malbec. After dinner and conversation, Sabrina and I went to rest while the guys played more pool.
We stopped on the way home to walk at the Home Depot. It was chilly, and it rained all day off and on and just wasn't conducive to walking outdoors.
