> Corn your own beef. Really. It’s very, very easy, I do it every year, and I can’t make enough for everyone to be happy with. This year, we bought 15 pounds of brisket in the hopes we’ll have leftovers.
> 
> You need a brisket and about 5 days. Basically, you cover the brisket with a dry rub, put it in a big ziploc, and turn it over every day.

> If you’re really interested, I’ll dig out my recipe and post it tomorrow.

We’re interested! 😉
