Day 1: Pete's Kitchen
Pete Contos' lifetime love of the restaurant business began the first day he arrived in Denver from Greece in 1956 when he watched a bartender mixing drinks and talking to customers. He went on to work his way up in the business from dishwasher, busboy and bar-back to bartender, which he call his "trade".
His entrepreneurial spirit would lead him to own such unique Denver businesses as the Satire Lounge, Olympic Flame, Pete's Kitchen, Pete's Gyros Place, Pete's University Park Cafe, Pete's Central, Pete's Ice Cream & Coffee, Pete's Greektown Cafe and The Bank Bar & Grill.
Over the years, he has quietly lent a helping hand to people in need, whether it's paying medical bills, lending money to buy homes or financing an education. He is known to help former employees to start their own business and regularly does such humanitarian deeds as serving holiday dinners to the elderly and neighborhood people.
A dedicated family man with a quick wit, Pete is one of the biggest Broncos fans in Denver. Hekeeps his door open and his cell phone on to anyone in need and has no plans to retire anytime soon saying "I'm having too much fun. I wish everyone would love their job as much as I do."

What travellers from around the world are saying
Rheingau wineries
Known the world over for its fine Riesling wines, the Rhine and Mosel regions of Germany are home to passionate wine-making families, traditional abbeys where monks and nuns have produced wine since the Middle Ages, and experimental new age wineries. Here are some must stop-and-taste cellars in the region: Schloss Johannisberg The oldest Riesling winery in the region was once a monastery where monks began producing wine over 900 years ago! It is here that late harvest wines were serendipitously discovered in 1775, and on a warm sunny afternoon, you can try their finest Rieslings in an ancient cellar or with a panoramic view of Johannisberg and its vineyards. St Hildegard Abbey The only nunnery in Germany that has been producing wine since the Middle Ages, St Hildegard Abbey, perched on a hill above the popular town of Rudesheim, is an experience. Stop by the majestic church on the premises, walk through the carefully pruned vineyards, chat with the traditionally attired nuns about their austere way of life, and sip some of their finest Rieslings. Kloster Eberbach A Cistercian monastery up until the 1800s, Kloster Eberbach, located near the village of Eltville, continues its wine traditions to this day, while also playing host to the famous Rheingau Musik Festival. Taste wines as you walk through time along the stunning Gothic and Romanesque architecture, and sneak a peek at the historic wine presses once used in wine production. Weingut Allendorf Have you ever considered the role of color on your taste buds? You'll think about it when you sip the same glass of wine at Weingut Allendorf in different colored lights. You have to experience this family-run winery's tastings to believe it, in the twin town of Oestrich-Winkel along the Rhine. Weingut Rossler If you're looking for a hands-on wine growing and tasting experience, look no further than Weingut Rossler in the sleepy little village of Lorch. Follow the Rossler family to their vineyards to help with pruning or harvesting, taste their fine home-made Rieslings in their modern cellar, or sit back at their cozy outdoor restaurant with a glass of wine; everyone knows everyone else in this village and you won't be a stranger for long! Flick Winery aka Queen Victoria vineyard You need a reason to take a detour to the small village of Hochheim along the Rhine, and I'll give you a good one – this is Queen Victoria's favorite Riesling vineyard and Queen Elizabeth was its most recent guest. Meet the Flick family and feel a little like royalty, as you taste their 'royal' wines! Need I say more? Berg's Alte Bauernschanke The only village to grow Pinot Noir (red wine) grapes along the Rhine is the picturesque half-timbered village of Assmannshausen; homed in one such building is Berg's – a horse stable in the 1400s! Konrad Berg, the third generation owner, is a hobbyist wine maker, with vineyards scattered across the Rheingau for different grape variety. Stop by for a glass of wine, indulge in a wine spa and peek into life in the bygone days. Weinsinnig The Mosel is home to the steepest vineyards of Germany, and you don't have to stray far from the quirky city of Trier to realize that. Take in the majestic Roman ruins and the youthful vibe of the city, but don't forget to show up for a wine tasting of the finest Mosel Rieslings at Weinsinning, a charming neighborhood restaurant and wine bar that handpicks and displays the region's best wines on its wine wall. Traditional cider houses Back in the 1500s, the vineyards of Frankfurt were irrevocably attacked by parasites, leading locals to the realization that growing grapes in this soil was near impossible. They turned to apple orchards for wine, and the famous Apfelwein (apple wine) is served to this day in the traditional cider houses of Zum Gemalten Haus and Wagner in Frankfurt's Sachsenhausen district.повече »
Rudesheim Wine Festival
For years, my trips to Germany were synonymous with beer. From Munich to Hamburg to Berlin, whichever part of the country I found myself in, I would seek out the sunniest beer gardens and find myself chugging a pint of home-brewed Weissbier or Radler, cheering prost as our glasses clinked, and dreaming, perhaps like any other beer lover, of reveling in the Oktoberfest of Bavaria. Then one day, in a casual chat with a German friend, I was let into a world I didn't know existed in Germany – the world of German wine-makers in the Rheingau region, only an hour from Frankfurt. The next thing I knew, it was mid-August and I was boarding a train to Rudesheim Am Rhein, a town that sits prettily by the River Rhine and is best known for cruise ship day-trippers, to attend the Rudesheim Wine Festival, one of the oldest wine festivals in the region dating back 80+ years! The warm summer breeze of Rudesheim welcomed me as the sun set above the lush vineyards dotting the surrounding hills. The River Rhine flowed along gently, echoing the festivities in the cobbled town square. The wine queens – traditionally the daughters of wine merchants and now ambassadors of wineries in each Rheingau village – had just been crowned and were being welcomed with music and dancing on the stage. Stalls of local wineries, including the 12th century Eberbach monastery and the incidental home of late harvest wines – Schloss Johannisberg – lined the square, bringing their traditions and stories to the visitors. Cheers of zumwohl replaced prost, cozy wine gardens decked with grape vines replaced beer gardens, and old wine cellars replaced microbreweries. My discovery of Germany's lesser-known wine culture was just getting started! The four days of Rudesheim Wine Festival felt like the gentle unwrapping of a precious present. One afternoon, I found myself hiking with the locals in the vineyards of Rudesheim, greeted every now and then by local wine makers for a taste of their finest Rieslings. On another, a wine merchant invited me to a special parade of wine queens and wine makers across the town and its vineyards. Nights were spent sampling Rieslings and tales of bygone days with the local wine growers, as the church bells tolled to compliment German music and the aroma of freshly baked flamkuchens. But the highlight of the festival came unexpectedly on the last night, when most visitors had retired home, leaving only the residents of Rudesheim to celebrate centuries of a close-knit wine culture. Three generations of each family descended upon the town square, held hands and sang songs about Rudesheim and the Rhine, cheered the wine queens and wine makers on stage, and danced unreservedly into the night. I felt far from Bavaria and yet in the heart of Germany!повече »

Blutenfest des Rotes Moselweinbergpfirsich
We hebben éven moeten oefenen, maar na een tijdje rolde Rote Moselweinbergpfirsich vanzelf uit onze mond. Toch kan je in Cochem ook gewoon Rud Peesche zeggen, het plaatselijke dialect voor deze kleine perzik met haar robijnrode vruchtvlees die overal in de Moezelvallei groeit. Terwijl de wijngaarden er nog kaal bijliggen, zijn de roze bloemen van de Moezel-Wijnbergperzik al een fleurige voorbode van de lente. Goed nieuws voor de plaatselijke wijnboeren dus, maar ook voor al wie dol is op perziken, want dan wordt er in Cochem smakelijk gefeest.повече »
Voor de ene is het een stukje Frankrijk in Duitsland, voor de andere is het een stukje Duitsland dat ook in Frankrijk niet zou misstaan. Wij houden het bij typisch Duits met een stevige Franse twist: Saarland. De kleinste Duitse deelstaat ging een paar keer over en weer tussen beide landen, was tweemaal op zichzelf en werd in 1957 definitief bij Duitsland ingelijfd. Het resultaat is een grensoverschrijdende kruisbestuiving van savoir-vivre en savoir-faire die zich vooral in de lokale gastronomie laat gelden. Wij trokken in Saarland letterlijk van de ene rijk gedekte tafel naar de andere, gingen er tafeltoeren en lieten ons galant overtuigen van het feit dat je van 'een schone tafel' wél kan eten.повече »
Crazy SB Waschsalon
Quando estamos viajando, nada como ter uma lavanderia perto para as horas de aperto. Não tem como não notar essa lavanderia toda "modernosa". Crazy SB Waschsalon chama a atenção por suas centenas de meias penduradas. Uma decoração perfeita para o ambiente. Eu não cheguei a lavar nenhuma roupa na minha estádia em Dresden, mas se ficasse mais uns dias, teria voltado lá de certeza. Fica na Louisenstraße 6, aberto todos os dias das 06h - 23h.повече »
Travel Bookshop
As coisas mais legais, sem dúvidas eu encontrei em Neustadt. É a região mais alternativa e legal de Dresden. Foi lá que eu vi uma das Lojas de Livros de Viagem mais legais. É aquela loja/livraria/papelaria que você vai querer comprar tudo. Passei uma boa hora lá dentro, folheando (porque ler em alemão, nem em sonho!) todos os guias, livros. Comprei uns postais lindos. Bobeei por não ter comprado uns mapas antigos, eram lindos.повече »

Helmets and coats lie piled on a table at the Turn-er Inn, Edwardsville. A line of snowmobiles waits outside. Riders come here to warm up at the wood-burning fireplace and eat their fill before hitting the trails again.
For restaurants along St. Lawrence Countys extensive trail network, snow means snowmobilers, and snowmobilers mean business.
Last weeks heavy snowfall has been a boon to both riders and the restaurant owners who rely on them to keep their businesses afloat in the winter.
Peak snowmobiling season usually starts in January, but the early storms gave riders a chance to hit the trails a few weeks early.
This is a sharp contrast to the past two years, when mild winters kept most snowmobilers idle.
We have already had more snow than we had in all of last season, said Mary Jo Spencer, who owns Cedar Lodge, Parishville.
Cedar Lodge is right off the trail that links Franklin County and Cranberry Lake. During the summer, it caters to 4-wheelers and campers, but during snowy winters its business is dominated by snowmobilers.
The unusually warm seasons have been tough for business owners who count on busy trails.
Andrew D. Thornhill has been snowmobiling his entire life, and has owned Dougs Tavern in Heuvelton since 1994. The tavern is a frequent haunt of snowmobilers, and Mr. Thornhill said he remembers when the snow could always be counted on to fall, bringing a steady stream of riders to his restaurant.
They would come to the tavern, they would fuel up, and they would head to the next spot, he said.
Lately the weather has not been nearly so reliable, and business has faltered. But while it is still too early to tell, this months heavy snowfall may herald a return to form, at least for now.
This is the best weve had, probably in five years. Hopefully it will keep up; it will boost the economy, said John E. Thompson, a Heuvelton resident who has been snowmobiling since the 1960s.
Business owners said they are optimistic.
A lot of people are upset that they sold their sled, Mrs. Spencer said. Its going to be good this year for businesses that cater to snowmobiles.
Black Lake resident and snowmobiler Alex J. Colby said it doesnt take much to make a restaurant popular among riders, besides proximity to the trails.
Good prices, theyre friendly, and they dont mind us coming in here and getting their floor all wet, he said.
Cranberry Lake is the site where most of the countys trails meet, and serves as a central hub for Adirondack snowmobilers. It has several restaurants, hotels and bars dedicated to riders.
This whole area caters to snowmobilers this time of year, said Suzie E. Thaller, who has helped run Stone Manor Motel and Diner since it was purchased by Jeffrey Rabideau several months ago. The two have yet to experience a winter running the restaurant, but the recent snowfall already has brought in business.
The first big snow we had, the next day there were snowmobilers here, Ms. Thaller said.
Their fellow business owners have told them that this first snowfall was just the tip of the iceberg.
They keep warning us that its going to be crazier than weve ever expected, Ms. Thaller said.

TORONTO, Ontario - An immediate family member of the suspected bombers lives a little more than an hour away from here in Toronto. She was among the many relatives who spoke to reporters as Friday's events unfolded.
Speaking to reporters in Toronto, Maret Tsarnaev, who is the aunt of the suspected bombers, said her nephews were being set up.
"Give evidence," she said. "Give evidence at least to family members because I will never accuse my relatives, my close nephews without having evidence. . . I am suspicious that this was staged. the picture was staged. Whoever did this, whoever is looking for needs to be blamed for these acts."
Meantime, their father, Anzor Tsarnaev, who was speaking from his home in Russia, called the shooting of his oldest son, Tamerlan, "cowardly," adding he believed the boys were framed. The boys' uncle in Maryland also he wanted to see proof.
However, another uncle, Ruslan Tsarni, was furious with his nephews, calling them "losers." He also left a message for the younger of the two brothers, Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, 19, who was at large at the time.
"I say, Dzhokhar, If you're alive, turn yourself in," Tsarni said. "And ask for forgiveness from the victims, from the injured, and from those who left, ask forgiveness from these people. We're not requiring forgiveness in this family. He put a shame on the Tsarni and Tsarnaev family. He put a shame on the entire Chechen ethnicity."
Reporters asked Tsarni if he loved America.
"I respect this country, I love this country," he said. "This country which gives [a] chance to everybody else to be treated as a human being. And to just be a human being, to feel yourself human being. That's what I feel about this country."

WriterMom April 16, 2008
I would be in total favor of banning the FCAT FOREVER if I could find someone to give me a dotted line to sign on.
My son has repeatedly failed the reading part of this moronic test, and now has to retake it yet AGAIN in 2 months. I refer to it as "moronic" because it's only purpose is to grade an entire school based on where 10th graders are at academically. I fail to see the purpose of it when all I have seen is how much it stresses out my son every year. TWICE he has "almost" passed it. Once, by only 1 point. When I asked him why it's so hard to take, he said that the reading test doesn't have ANYTHING TO DO WITH what's being taught or has been taught to him in an actual classroom. Even though he said he purposefully studied for the reading test the last time he took it, and "guessed" at the math part. Ironically, he passed the math section with flying colors, only to fail the reading segment, yet again. Every year, he waits with shear dread for the results.
I never did well with reading comprehension "tests" either when I was in school. In fact, I was forced to take extra credit reading classes to help boost my grade point average so I would pass. It was humiliating, and always very stressful. I went through 12 years of school being scolded by my parents because my teachers labeled me as one who "would not apply myself." It didn't seem to matter that I always aced English, or that I excelled in other classes. The one I always failed at got me in trouble.
Again, I call the FCAT "MORONIC" because I now write for a living, and my son is the Editor-in-Chief of his school newspaper. I am 46 years old, and never went to college for journalism, but yet I am a published author and smart enough to write for Disney.
Once my son became Editor-in-Chief of his high school newspaper, he decided to put his literary power to use. He researched other school related academic achievements of hundreds of students, and wrote about it. He made the "D" Stigma, (his school's been given), on the cover page as well as the center spread, noting that being labeled a "D" school due to the FCAT scores does not make one a "D" student by any means.
He was called to the principal's office upon distribution, and thought he would receive a reprimand. Instead, the principal congratulated him on his story, and the truth behind it.
Just recently, he realized that the FCAT test is in April. His face lost all color when he said he hopes that the FCATs aren't going to be the same week as the Journalism State Competition in Tampa, or else, "I'll just kill myself." I was stunned, because my son never talks this way.
He has been preparing all year for this competition, and even paid his deposit on the trip. He'll be giving up Grad Night just so he can attend this event. It absolutely horrified me to hear him talk this way.
Whatever "genius" thought up this asinine test needs to have his head examined. It's doing our kids more HARM than GOOD. Since its birth, the FCAT has only had negative repercussions. It makes high school students feel bad about themselves if their school is labeled anything but an "A" school. If your school falls to an "F" it risks being closed down. (Like many here in south Florida). Thus, kids who hoped to graduate with their friends are displaced throughout an entire county, and/or waiting placement.
Failing FCAT causes low self esteem amongst students and their peers that may lead to depression, anxiety, and even a sense of hopelessness. Uncertain future comes into play for college bound students since their graduation is no longer secured by class work alone. I've been told that the higher the overall grade for the school, the more funding they receive from the state. Shouldn't it be the other way around?? After all, wouldn't we as parents and teachers run to the aide of a failing student before offering assistance to an "A" student?
What message is this sending to our kids by constantly placing negative labels on them and their school? Do school officials honestly expect THIS to improve school spirit? Do they expect THIS to boost student morale? My son was awarded "A Honor Roll" last semester, with a GPA of 4.0. I can remember my high school years being some of the best times of my life, and I never had a GPA of 4.0. However, my son cannot say the same. He's been told that if he does not pass the FCAT this time around, he will not graduate. This, they're saying to a kid who has over 800 service hours, whereas, only 40 are required by end of senior year. It won't matter that he's an "A" student. If he fails the reading again, he'll be labeled a failure. Period.
I rest my case.

Nate McLaughlin handled 19 shots working the SLC crease for the win while Joey Brown recorded 36 saves for the Huskies (7-10-1, 3-8-1).
The Larries are slated to host Canton on Friday at 7 p.m. before closing out the season on the road against OFA on Monday.
Salmon River 6, Tupper Lake 2: At the Tupper Lake Civic Centery, Ty Terrance connected for five goals to lead the Shamrocks past the Lumberjacks for their first NAC win of the season.
Ellliot Fletcher opened the scoring for Tupper Lake just 5:54 into the game assisted by Boyce Guerette and Nick LaMere before Terrance pulled the Shamrocks even with 1:08 left in the opening frame.
Terrance went on to score unassisted goals just 41 seconds and 2:20 into the second period to complete his natural hattrick before Guerette made it 3-2 at the 12:15 mark with an unassisted goal of his own.
Terrance restored the two-goal lead at 1:07 of the third period then closed out the scoring assisted by Tyler Thomas with 35 seconds left in regulation. Nathan Smoke finished off a play set up by Quinton Thomas and Brady Mitchell-Lazore at 11:21 of the third to account for the other Salmon River goal.
Cory Garrow made 16 saves in the winning effort while Marcus Richer turned aside 37 shots for the Lumberjacks (1-14-1, 0-11).
The Shamrocks (2-13-2, 1-8-2) will look to build on their first NAC win on Wednesday at home against Division I rival Canton starting at 6:30 p.m.

Video: Listen: Unreleased MLK Jr. interview found in attic
WASHINGTON (AP) - Dignitaries and celebrities participated in a wreath-laying ceremony Sunday at the Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial on the National Mall.
The Rev. Al Sharpton called the weekend an "intersection of history," with the nation's first black president taking the oath of office for a second term the same weekend as the federal holiday commemorating King's life. Sharpton says there was a time when no one believed the country would have either a black president or a federal holiday for a black civil rights leader.
Click here to read Martin Luther King, Jr.'s "I Have a Dream Speech".
Senator Kirsten Gillibrand released this statement commemorating the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.:
"Today, as we gather in Washington see President Obama sworn-in for his second term, we also celebrate the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King. His dream of freedom, justice, and equality is the American dream.
"As we reflect on Dr. King's life and sacrifice, we must remain committed to his spirit of cooperation and collaboration as we face the challenges ahead. Dr. King knew there was a better future in store for America - but only as long as every single one of us dedicates our lives to reaching that promise. Seeing so many Americans on the mall today, coming together, to bend the arc of history is fitting.
"As Dr. King himself said, 'Let us rise up tonight with a greater readiness. Let us stand with a greater determination. And let us move on in these powerful days, these days of challenge to make America what it ought to be. We have an opportunity to make America a better nation.' May we all live up to his poignant words."

Policy Briefs
June 2014
With the European Council meeting in late June 2014 to adopt strategic guidelines on asylum and migration policy, amid strains resulting from Syrian refugee migration and other flows, this MPI Europe policy brief identifies challenges and proposes a forward course. The brief recommends increased engagement by Member States in practical cooperation as a way to strengthen implementation and consolidation of existing EU laws and achieve more consistent asylum decision-making.

In the absence of a policy plan to address the surge in unaccompanied child arrivals at the U.S.-Mexico border, simplistic explanations and draconian "solutions" are already surfacing. In reality, the problem is enormously complex and there is no single policy approach that is going to bend the curve on unaccompanied child arrivals. This commentary explores possible ways forward.

The Orioles and Cubs discussed a trade involving OF Alfonso Soriano, according to Roch Kubatko of MASN Sports. Soriano has been known as a potential trade candidate for months, and there were rumors that the Orioles and Cubs had discussed a trade involving him before.
At least eight AL teams have discussed Soriano over the past six weeks, according to ESPNChicago.com. He is largely viewed as a DH, due to his defensive liability in LF. The Cubs also owe Soriano $54MM over the next 3 years, making it a necessity for them to eat a large portion of his contract in any potential deal.
Soriano, 36 on Saturday, posted a .244/.289/.469 batting line with a .325 wOBA, .266 BABIP, and 26 HR for the Cubs in 2011. His OPS+ in 2011 was only 104, which was well below the OPS+ of current Orioles' Nick Markakis (109 OPS+), Adam Jones (114 OPS+) and Nolan Reimold (113 OPS+).
It would be a curious move for the Orioles if they did follow through with a potential deal. They already have five OF on their current projected 25-man roster (Nick Markakis, Adam Jones, Nolan Reimold, Endy Chavez, Jai Miller), and one could argue that he is nothing more than an average player at this point in his career.
I think the last two paragraphs explain everything that needs to be known. This would be a really stupid move for the Orioles if it happened. Luckily as of now it is just a rumor.

Naval Academy Ethics Team Wins Prestigious National Competition
Posted on: April 04, 2013 09:00 EDT by Jessica Clark
The Naval Academy Ethics Team recently received first place in the Berg Cup Competition, a nationally-known undergraduate business ethics competition held each spring at the University of Pittsburgh.
The competition draws some of the top business schools in the country, including the University of Pennsylvania's Wharton School of Business, the Kenan-Fladger Business School at UNC, and the Olin School of Business.
The competition requires the competing teams to role play a scenario testing their understanding of business ethics. This year the teams played a strategic planning group for a bank reporting to the bank's board of directors, played by the competition's judges. The case involved decisions on adopting mobile banking, marketing pre-paid debit cards, cyber crime as well as dealing with the conflicting personalities of the board members.
The teams had five days to prepare for their presentation to the "board," but were also tested by a last minute emergency situation in which they discovered some of the bank's accounts had been hacked. This forced the team to make on-the-spot decisions on how to inform the public and how to recoup losses for the depositors and the bank.
"The role playing is quite intense in this portion of the competition," said Dr. Shawn Baker, assistant director of the Naval Academy's Stockdale Center for Ethical Leadership. "The midshipmen's coolness under pressure and grasp of the ethical implications were so keen that we had a judge go out of his way to send an e-mail praising them afterward."
"We won the competition because when faced with pressure, we calmly responded to the inquiries of the judges and had a clear path laid out to deal with the problem at hand," said Midshipman 1st Class Daniel Roberts.
While the competition focused on business ethics, Roberts said it required skills that are important in military decision making as well.
"Thinking out of the box and being straightforward, proactive thinkers propelled us to win in the finals," said Roberts. "Being on the team has taught me how to critically evaluate ethical situations and how to make sound moral decisions even in the face of adversity. I have certainly grown as a person and hope to take these experiences into my career."
As a senior, the Berg Cup was Roberts' last competition with the Ethics Team, but he's pleased to be leaving with a major win."I'm leaving the team in a better place than when I joined and set up for future success," he said. "I was able to end my ethics team career with a win against the best competition in the country."

Tapping the
Scales of Justice - A Dose of Connecticut Legal History
America's First Court Reporter
Ephraim Kirby
Ephraim Kirby is best remembered for
compiling the first volume of law reports in America. Kirby was much
more during his 47 years - farmer, soldier, attorney, state
legislator, candidate for Governor, and Judge of the Mississippi
Territory. He died at Fort Stoddert, Mississippi Territory, before
learning that President Jefferson had appointed him Governor of the
Mississippi Territory.
Judge Kirby served in the Revolutionary
War, volunteering just after the Battle of Lexington. He was present
at numerous battles from Bunker Hill to Germantown. After the war,
Kirby studied law at Yale and was admitted to the bar where he
practiced in Litchfield, Connecticut. Following American
independence, the need for a written record of court decisions
developed in order to distinguish American common law from English
common law. When the Connecticut legislature passed a law in 1785
requiring judges to prepare their decisions in writing, Kirby had
already begun his own compilation for private use. He was persuaded
to expand his task for publication, and so, Kirby's Reports
were born.
Published in 1789, Kirby's Reports
or Reports of Cases Adjudged in the Superior Court of the
State of Connecticut, from the year 1785, to May, 1788, with some
Determinations in the Supreme Court of Errors is a fascinating
record of the legal history of Connecticut's courts. Kirby wrote in
his preface, "I have avoided technical terms and phrases as much as
possible, that it might be intelligible to all classes of men."
Ephraim Kirby has the distinction of
being the first Superior Court judge in what is now Alabama and is
so honored in the archives of the state. His life is chronicled at
their web site,
http://www.archives.state.al.us/al_sldrs/k_list.html. In
addition, his correspondence with President Jefferson can be read in
the Thomas Jefferson Papers from the Manuscript Division at the
Library of Congress at
http://memory.loc.gov/ammem/mtjhtml/mtjhome.html. For other

By KEVIN SCANNELLSun Advocate reporter
Stop, drop and roll. Never play with fire. Safety first.
Those were just some of the terms students from Bruin Point Elementary learned on Friday during a field trip to the East Carbon/Sunnyside Joint Public Safety Building during fire prevention week Oct. 3-9.
Every class at Bruin Point took turns visiting the year-old building which houses fire trucks, emergency vehicles and all of the equipment needed for emergency workers to perform their duties.
The students first watched a video about fire safety with Sparky the dog explaining what they should do in the event a fire happens in their home. Students then were given a tour in the garage area where they were able to look at and even climb into many of the fire trucks.
Firefighters from East Carbon and Sunnyside were on hand to help teach the students what they do during an emergency or a fire. Students were given a first-hand look at the equipment firefighters need and use everyday including their oxygen tanks, fire jackets and pants, helmets and search and rescue equipment.
"It was very fun trip for the students," said Mrs. Bertola, a teacher at Bruin Point Elementary. "They got to see the new facility and the firefighters were very informative."
Firefighters even got into the fun with the students as they let them carry around their oxygen tanks and try on the jackets and helmets. Loud beeping noises spread through the building as the firefighters demonstrated the use of their search and rescue gear when looking for a person at the scene of a fire.
"This was a good way for students to get used to seeing the work that we do as firefighters," said Bert Krauss, a firefighter. "It also gives students a more hands-on approach of what it takes to be a firefighter by coming over here."
As some students were waiting outside for the bus to take them back to Bruin Point, Krauss used some of his gear, and his strength, to lift students in the air. Student after student lined up wanting to have Krauss lift them high into the air. After finishing the demonstration, Krauss had worked up a little sweat.
"It's very humbling to teach these kids," Krauss said.
Sunnyside Fire Chief Gene Madrid said he thought the students were really enjoying their time at the Joint Public Safety Building. He noted that it was the first time that students were brought over to the building.
Madrid and other firefighters stressed to the students to be safe if and when a fire happens, not to go into a burning building and find a safe meeting place far away.
Madrid also offered some tips for parents to look into including checking their smoke alarms and carbon dioxide detectors. If they are not working correctly or need to be checked, Madrid said people could call their local fire department and they would come out to the home and check them.
All of the students who went on the field trip didn't come away empty-handed. Each student was given a plastic fire helmet, a firefighter badge, coloring books and crayons.
"They'll be talking about this trip all day," Mrs. Bertola said.
Watching and interacting with the students, Madrid said the day went really well and the looks on the faces of students said it all.
"Seeing the expressions on their faces was great," Madrid said. "The students were asking some interesting questions and wanted to know more about the firefighters."

"Expertise, honesty, integrity, comprehensive understanding of district's mission." — Sarah Heard, Martin County commissioner
"Somebody who really understands Comprehensive Everglades Restoration Plan, not just (Indian River Lagoon) plan, but the whole plan. If that's not a top priority, if the board isn't given leadership to understand it, then the St. Lucie River is dead. ... Unfortunately, whether it's a political background or not, that person has to have a fantastic sense of politics because otherwise you won't get the right thing done. The forces against it understand politics and have a political background. If the forces for it don't understand the politics, than the good things aren't going to happen." — Maggy Hurchalla, environmentalist and former Martin County commissioner
"Executive directors over the years have come from a variety of backgrounds and have done an excellent job while serving in water management. There is no particular background preference as scientists, long-term employees, management and a number of other professions have all done a good job leading the agency. "Gov. Rick Scott has appointed some outstanding people to water management boards, college boards and other positions across the state. Again, we are confident that they will hire the right people and we will be supportive of those decisions." — Judy Sanchez, U.S. Sugar Corp. spokeswoman
"They should have some sort of background in science and engineering. It requires a real technical knowledge to be in that position." — Mark Perry, Florida Oceanographic Society executive director
"What I'm hoping to find is someone who has an environmentalist background, and that might not be found. I don't think there are any representatives on the board or executive directors at this time that have an environmental background, and to me the situation is environmental. I think it's really important to have good people skills. I think it's almost like being a good politician. You have to be able to take criticism and you have to be able to have very, very unhappy people in front of you, people that you might not be able to do anything for. But at the same time, you have to be able to show empathy and understanding, and if you can't do that what happens is relationships just get worse and worse, and if you can show that relationships get better. This business, like any business, is based on relationships." — Jacqui Thurlow-Lippisch, Sewall's Point commissioner
"Right now it's the hit-the-ground-running experience, somebody that knows how to run an agency but also (is) familiar with the state of Florida, familiar with how things work, how our system works. ... You're always looking for that perfect balance and it's going to be someone who's comfortable around a budget scenario." — Kevin Powers, South Florida Water Management District board member
"I think that the ship is headed in the right direction and that team will continue to move it forward. I hope that there won't be a lot of change. I think staff likes stability. Of course, you can't force that, but that's what I hope." — Melissa Meeker, South Florida Water Management District former executive director
"I would like to see someone who's not connected to (agriculture) or real estate or development, someone who is more in touch with most Floridians who just want clean water and see it managed well. ... That's pretty much my expectation in a nutshell and, like I say, I'm not real optimistic that they will find anybody like that." — Kevin Stinnette, Conservation Alliance of St. Lucie County board member
"I will be terribly disappointed if they don't attract a truly brilliant manager/administrator who's got a clean record when it comes to being pressured by Big Ag. ... Clean, honest, decisive, vigorous administrator, proven record. Doesn't have to be an engineer (but someone) who can understand engineering, understand the environmental consequences of what we have done to the Everglades, what we're trying to do to restore the Everglades and share that enthusiasm among the 16 counties in South Florida and keep peace with the board and very importantly, with the governor." — Nathaniel Reed, Everglades Foundation vice chairman
"(The person should be) honest; that's hard to come by because they wouldn't be selected if there weren't what we would consider conflicts living here on the St. Lucie. I fully believe that the South Florida Water Management District is completely controlled by agriculture, by sugar specifically. I don't think we're getting a fair shake here on the St. Lucie." — Marty Baum, Indian Riverkeeper

Thirty (30) Year Old Whisky is really quite rare in the world of whisky. Thirty years is a long time for any spirit to mature, and the rate of evaporation (also known as the Angels' Share) of roughly 2% per annum means that after 30 years, only 55% (approximately) of the original barrel will be left!
30 year old whisky is a traditional gift for a particularly 30th Birthday Present for a special man or lady, or perhaps a Christmas present. Also particularly popular for Fathers day.
Thirty Year old whiskies are usually not only complex and interesting, but also very smooth due to the extended aging process.
In 1981, many noteworthy events hit the headlines:
Whisky lover and eyebrow raiser Sir Roger Moore starred in the excellent For Your Eyes Only which was one of the top grossing films of 1986 (it was released in 1981).
The first ever London Marathon was run in March of 1981, and there were 7,500 runners, the majority of whom did not drink single malt whisky or bourbon during the event.
In September 1981, the eminent US journalist Walter Cronkite retired. The whiskey drinking Xzibit once declared "I stand behind the mic like Walter Cronkite."

Dear Friends and Neighbors,
Pacolet is a place of promise. "Close to Everything…Far from ordinary" is more than our community slogan; it is a new attitude. Pacolet's attitude is best described in our Community Covenant where we promise to take care of each other and preserve nature's blessings entrusted to us. Pacolet is a place where over 5,000 call home whether you live within the municipal boundary or in the counties of Union, Cherokee or Spartanburg. We experience a unique blend of history, culture and progress. If you want to learn more about our natural and cultural heritage please call the Pacolet Town Hall (864.474.9504) for information on one of our Cultural Heritage Tours.
The word progress may bring a question mark to mind considering our nation's economic climate, but listen up, we are making progress. The Business District along Highway 9 is being upgraded with public sewer, which is greatly needed for any new business to locate in our area. We received a $925,000 grant from the Appalachian Regional Council of Governments and the South Carolina Budget and Control Board for this project. Remember! Grants are monies that are allocated for specific projects. If we do not apply for these monies we will lose them to another community.
The United States Department of Agriculture funded a feasibility study to assess the possibility of recreation and economic development along our waterway which complements our 2004 Community Master plan. We are in the process of placing both studies online. The potential is tremendous bringing people and jobs into our community.
Family Dollar is building a new store in our Business District near the former Pacolet High School Gym site. Look for construction to begin by the end of March. Town Council has also been making a concerted effort to locate a super market and large scale service station to our area.
Other economic development forecasts are the revitalization happenings along the Pacolet River. Lockhart Power Company is a subsidiary of Pacolet Milliken Enterprises and they are building another small power plant in Pacolet at the upper dam. Construction is already underway. The Pacolet River Paddling Trail funded through the South Carolina Department of Natural Resources is being developed for recreation. The Palmetto Conservation Foundation is administering the $250,000 grant to build the paddling trail. Canoe and kayak take-outs and put-ins in Pacolet are two of the designated sites. Official opening planned for fall of this year.
As new businesses make Pacolet their home, please do not forget the businesses that are already here. Help support our businesses by "Buying in Pacolet" when you can.
As your public servants, we as a council are committed to serving you. Please call on us if you need our help.
May God bless you!
Elaine Harris, Mayor

Allergy and asthma control begins at home. Many people with allergies stay indoors when outdoor air is full of pollen and spores. But dust mites, animal dander and even cockroaches can cause problems indoors.
Eight out of 10 people in the United States are exposed to house dust mites, and six out of 10 are exposed to cat or dog dander. Cockroaches cause allergic reactions among people who live in the inner cities or southern parts of the United States.
Controlling the air quality in your home, office and car can reduce allergy and asthma symptoms.
What Size Are Allergens?
Allergens are substances that cause allergic reactions and trigger asthma symptoms in some people. Allergen particles are carried in the air, but they will settle onto furniture and floor surfaces. They vary in size and are measured in microns (also called micrometers). The larger the particles, the faster they will settle out of the air. Pollen, dust mite and cockroach debris are larger and settle out of the air more quickly than molds or animal allergens.
Is Indoor Allergy Control Possible?
With aggressive cleaning, you can improve indoor air quality and reduce allergy symptoms. First you need to remove the source of as many allergens that you are sensitive to as possible. This includes pets, carpets, overstuffed furniture, stuffed toys, non-encased mattresses and pillows and bedding not washable in hot water. There may be more allergens on surfaces than in the air. Surface allergens can be put into the air easily by disturbing them by sitting or dusting, for example.
Will Air Cleaning Devices Help?
The best way to improve symptoms is to eliminate the source of the allergen from the home whether that is the pet or a heavily mite-infested upholstered chair. The next best step is to take measures to decrease the exposure to the allergen. Other important measures are to increase the circulation of outdoor air into the home and to reduce the humidity as much as possible.
Reducing humidity decreases dust mite and mold growth. Air conditioners help reduce the humidity as well as prevent the exposure of outdoor allergens. You can reduce the number of outdoor allergens such as pollen and mold from entering the home by keeping windows and doors closed and the air conditioner set on recirculate.
Current research suggests that the role for freestanding indoor air cleaners is limited. Elimination of the source of the allergen is the most effective way to reduce symptoms. Many more allergens are in carpets and furnishings than in the air. If you decide to use an air cleaner, a HEPA (high efficiency particulate air) filter is recommended. It removes at least 99 percent of the dust, dander, pollens, tobacco smoke and bacteria particles that are 0.3 microns or larger.
Electronic air cleaners contain negative ion generators that charge the airborne particles. The particles are then attracted to charged metal plates or household surfaces. This type of air cleaner is less effective even at the beginning and can rapidly lose its efficiency unless regularly maintained.
Hybrid filters are air cleaners that are a combination of the other types of air cleaners. Some air cleaners called ozone generators create ozone through an electrical charge. Ozone can be dangerous for persons with lung disease such as asthma and therefore ozone generators are not recommended. (See the Asthma and Allergy Answer fact sheet on, "Air Filters.")
If you have allergies, use aggressive cleaning to get rid of the allergen sources.
In particular, rid the bedroom of as many allergen sources as possible.

|Dropout Rates/Graduation Rates
In recent years, the question of how states and districts calculate their dropout rates and graduation rates has become a greater concern, not only because states must include graduation rates as a measure of high school performance under the No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB), but because the American economy is increasingly dependent upon a workforce that has completed high school and continued to some form of postsecondary education. In addition, increased scrutiny has made it clear that self-reported dropout rates and graduation rates by states and districts are highly inaccurate, due to variations in calculation methodologies and inadequate reporting mechanisms.

Audible: Are You Resetting Your Expectations?
We want to hear from you what your expectations are from this team the rest of the way this season. Do you expect them to run the table against a weak group of talent? Do you expect them to at least get to .500? Do you expect them to start benching players so they can look at the true depth that they have on the roster for next year? Are you just expecting them to not look terrible on offense like they have in the last two games?
What are you expectations the rest of the way?

The Sleep of Reason Produces Monsters: Jasper Johns and Goya's Demons
Saturday, May 17, 2014, 11:30 a.m.
The Paul J. Sachs Drawings Galleries, third floor
Indirectly inspired by a seminal work by Francisco de Goya, in which the Spanish artist appears to be bedeviled by creatures that prowl in the dark, Jasper Johns created a suite of original works across diverse mediums, using Goya's demons as a point of departure to investigate his own state of mind and creative process. Join us to look closely at Johns's latest works, and investigate the commonalities in artists' interests across historical periods.
In conjunction with the exhibition Jasper Johns: Regrets
Gallery Sessions, impromptu interactions facilitated by Museum educators that explore the creative process, art history, and the experience of art, take place daily in select galleries. Groups meet in the galleries noted on the schedule. Gallery Sessions are free with Museum admission. No registration is required.
FM headsets for sound amplification are available for all talks.

CrockPot Hickory Smoked Brisket
This makes your house smell like you're in the middle of a National Forest----one that allows campfires.
I finally got a bottle of liquid smoke. Way back in August, I used some mesquite chips to turn the crockpot into a smoker, and while that worked, this was much easier. I was a little freaked out that liquid smoke contained a bunch of cancer-causing chemicals, and the bottle did not list the ingredients. But it did say "All Natural" on it, and we all know that means that it must be good for you, right?
After some research, I found that Jared wrote a fantastic post on how liquid smoke is made, and it really calmed my nerves enough to go for it. Liquid smoke is gluten-free.
The Ingredients.
3-4 pounds beef brisket, or chuck roast
1/2 cup hickory liquid smoke (or not this much. Maybe 1T or 2T? read comments...)
1/4 cup A-1 steak sauce
1 T celery salt (see note below, I'd stick with a 1/2T)
1/2 T garlic powder
1/2 t pepper
The Directions.
Use a 4 quart crockpot. I used a 6---if you only have a big guy, put a layer of foil down on top of the meat to create a smaller steaming space so your meat doesn't dry out.
Put the meat in your crockpot, add spices to all sides of it. Add A-1 and liquid smoke.
Cover and cook on low for 8-10 hours, or on high for 4-6. Slow and low is better, the meat will shred nicely when cooked for a long period of time. I cooked ours on low for 10 hours, then it was on warm for another 3. I got up WAY too early yesterday...
Seve over mashed potatoes or polenta.
The Verdict.
This tastes like wet beef jerky. It's very smoky, and next time I'll cut the celery salt in half. The smell was amazing in the house after only about 30 minutes, and I found it actually kind of hard to get my work done. The kids ate a ton, and Adam liked it a lot. This is very good, and I am happy that I did finally use liquid smoke. Thanks, Jared!

I have a request for a holiday meal. Prime Rib in the crockpot. Do you think it can be done?

I don't know if wet beef jerky sounds all that appealing, but the info on liquid smoke was intriguing. Thank you.

Being from Texas we *love* brisket. I really wanted to try one in the crockpot and now that I know it will work, it's a go! Thanks!

It *is* a good thing! We gobbled it up.
- December 11, 2008 at 7:51 AM
Sounds great! Maybe we'll have *that* for Christmas dinner. (We're moving on the 27th , so I've been trying to find something easy, not too fussy that would be okay. It'll just be the 4 of us anyhow.)

I'm sorry, did you just rave about a dish you described as tasting "like wet beef jerky?"
Because I retched a little when I read that phrase.
But I still love you. ;)

I have made a corned beef brisket before in my cp and used only 1/8 - 1/2 t. of liquid smoke( depending on the size of the brisket), along with 2-3 T. of worcestershire and it is delicious. Maybe, perhaps, you may want to cut waaay down on the liquid smoke next time? Just a suggestion...

We love brisket. In fact we have one in the freezer currently that has been calling to us for a month or so. "Cook me next!"
A few weeks ago, Lynne Rossetto Kasper on the public Radio show, The Splendid Table, had on her show a guest speaking of the origins of liquid smoke also. Very interesting.
I am not sure which show it was, either Nov. 22 or Nov 29, if anyone wants to listen. All the shows are great fun to listen to; if I was more computer saavy, I'd find it and listen first and then link it. But my husband always helps me with any audio stuff. Sorry. But here is the link to the Nov. shows. From there one can click on each show or segments of a show to listen.

A little liquid smoke goes a LONG way. I learned that the hard way!
Glad it turned out! : )

- Pam said...
I'm going to have to agree with Sandy re: the amount of LS used. I think the amount can be cut way back, also.
In fact, when I read the recipe, I gasped at the 1/2 cup and thought it was going to be one of your few failures.
As always.. appreciate your "hands on" tips though, re: use of larger crockpot and foil to reduce the area.
ps: As someone who makes jerky (w/LS!) from scratch, when you described the taste as wet jerky, my mind conjured up a not-so-appealing image. LOL!
- December 11, 2008 at 11:18 AM
Long time stalker, never poster. As a huge fan, wanted to add some advice: Don't use Wright's liquid smoke. There's nothing alarming or creepy about the brand itself, it's just not as good as other brands. Get your hands on some Stubb's if you can find it (you know, the BBQ people!). I'm a vegetarian, so I use both their Hickory and Mesquite flavored LS to add depth to Southern-style dishes. Mmmm.
- December 11, 2008 at 11:31 AM
- Crockpot Lady said...
ah, see, this is why you all need to move in with me. I got the recipe off of cooks.com
cooks.com, and cut back the amount that they used to only a 1/2 cup---they used a whole. I thought that would be a lot, too. What do you think would be a good amount? 1T? 2T?
I'll update it, because I agree, it didn't have to be this pronounced in smokiness.

Hi SouthernBelle,
I did see it. It was, um, interesting... ;-)
The thing that surprised me the most was that Ming was on, and I MADE! one of his dishes in the crock earlier in the year: tomatoes and goat cheese with cranberry balsamic vinegar. It was absolutely amazing. He also said that he wouldn't ever cook fish or other seafood in the crock. lol, I have lobster planned for new years!
- December 11, 2008 at 12:30 PM
Where in the grocery do you find liquid smoke? With the BBQ sauce? With the baking flavorings and spices? I have also been afraid of it, even though it sounds like magic; and now that I think I could go buy a bottle, I have no idea where to find it. Also, so excited, because I have a crock pot and have no idea how to use it, but since I found your blog I'm thinking I'll start at the beginning this coming year and maybe will actually use my crock pot for something besides dip!
- December 11, 2008 at 1:14 PM
- Crockpot Lady said...
Hi anon, I needed to have a grocer take me right to it. It's such a small bottle I missed it a few times. It is usually with the bbq sauces, though.
- December 11, 2008 at 1:21 PM
- Mimi said...
I'm using your wood chips hint to smoke some chicken for barbecue chicken nachos as I type. I won't touch LS with a ten foot pole due to my sister's love of smoked beef tips w/onions and peppers and the fact she would make my mom use an entire bottle of the stuff when she made it. All I could taste was smoke for a couple of days after.
- December 11, 2008 at 1:49 PM
- Charlene said...
Yep, a little liquid smoke goes a long way, but a few drops add a wonderful touch to baked beans.
I've cooked brisket in the crock-pot before, but never smoked or bbq style--this sound like something I'd like to try!
- December 11, 2008 at 3:37 PM
- Christy said...
Do you think it would work with just regular BBQ sauce instead of A1? I don't have any of that on hand, and I don't want to hvae to run out and get some just for one recipe...
- December 11, 2008 at 3:39 PM
- Crockpot Lady said...
Christy, yes! Go for it.
- December 11, 2008 at 4:07 PM
- Brenna Kater, the Oceanskater said...
Can you please try making a cobbler or apple crisp in the crockpot? I'd like that :)
- December 11, 2008 at 4:11 PM
- Christy said...
Hehe. Just realized I don't have any liquid smoke. Will have to go to the store for that anyway, so I shall pick up A1!
This has my mouth watering big time. I made Chili last night, and we've eaten that for two nights in a row so it will be nice "weekend splurge"!

Oh that sounds wonderful!! I love it!! I love liquid smoke. I am acutally cooking a brisket tonight using it!! YUM!! I just found this blog and I am so excited! I love using my crock pot. I will have to do some back reading to see how you used it as a smoker!! Cool!!

I've always been weirded out by liquid smoke, but now knowing it's just smokey water I think I'll try using it. Thank you once again for a great recipe!
Merry Christmas!!!
- December 12, 2008 at 4:43 PM
We have made many of your recipes with great sucsess. Thanks for all the help in getting more out of my crockpot.
Liquid smoke is awsome! Try 2-3 drops in your homemade refried beans.Really packs a punch on the flavor.

You should try making Kahlua Pork. I make it in the crock once every month. Take a pork roast, about 4lbs or so. Stab it all over with a paring knife. Liberally sprinkle Hawaiian sea salt, (or reg sea salt, and garlic powder) then pour liquid smoke all over. (I use 1/2 a cup which is one bottle) but I like it really smokey flavored. Cook on low 10 hours or until it pulls apart super easily. Then pair it with Hawaiian Sweet bread. The saltiness of the pork combined with the sweetness of the bread is a family and friend favorite. Yummy!!!
- December 13, 2008 at 6:01 AM
Just wanted to let you know I fixed this today and it is great! My little one that usually hates anything beef said "this is actually goood mom" So THANKS!! I used about 1/2 tblp of the hickory smoke. I know my husband will LOVE it! Thanks so much for taking the time to do this!
- December 15, 2008 at 3:31 PM
Made the CrockPot Hickory Smoked Brisket yesterday. I used only 2 tablespoon liquid smoke as suggested, but I think next time I'll use a bit more. It was very good and incredibly tender. I plan to shred the leftovers and make burritos with black beans and cheese. Thanks for all your great recipes... love your website!

I learned something this week...corn beef brisket is NOT what you intended in this recipe! I will try it again with the RIGHT beef cause my guys loved the flavor. They didn't complain about it at all...but I thought it was too salty!

I'd like to make this in a 5 or 6 quart crock pot and would like to increase the ingredients rather than do the aluminum foil thing... large-ish family, ya know! (6 of us, 4 boys, 2 are teens)... and I'm not even sure if we'd be able to get leftovers out of a roast made in a 6 quart pot, haha...
- January 16, 2009 at 2:22 PM
- Jessica said...
Actually since the crock pot we wanted to buy still wasn't in stock at the store, we're going to cook the brisket in a low oven in a cast iron dutch oven today... my experience with brisket is that it might not be ready until late late, so we may not get to eat it until tomorrow...
I bought a whole brisket, cut it in half, put the smaller half in the freezer, cut as much of the fat off last night... already trimmed brisket is about twice as expensive and I don't mind cutting.. (may be able to render the fat & do something with it, haha)
Anyway I'll let y'all know how it goes! :)

Holy smokes this is good!! We used about 2 Tbsp of the LS and just sprinkled the meat on both sides with celery salt & garlic powder & S&P, then poured enough A-1 on to coat the surface.
Sooo good. So. good. We served this at our birthday party along with the BBQ pulled pork and everyone raved.
Tonight I had some of the (very little) leftover on my salad with some ranch dressing. Better than bacon.
- February 2, 2009 at 6:54 PM
I LOVE THIS!!! I just made it, and I could not stop eating it! I had read that some people thought 1/2 cup of liquid smoke was too much, so I tried 1/4 cup. When I tasted it later on, it didn't taste smoky enough to me, so I added a bit more. I ended up using about 3/8 cup total, and it was perfect - although I think it would still be good with 1/2 cup.

I am making my 3rd round of this fabulousness right now (er, it's for lunch tomorrow so I am starting it in 30 min.) But I have noticed the most bizarre phenomenon.... this dish causes men to do dishes. Clean entire kitchens. Bring the chef a glass of wine...
The first time my mom made this, my dad and youngest brother INSISTED that she go into the living room and he'd take care of the kitchen... I seriously cannot remember dad EVER voluntarily doing the dishes. (my mom called me to thank me for sending her the recipe because she was so giddy about how well it came out.)

Oh, my heavens this was delicious!! I went easy on the liquid smoke and I think I was too easy. I will use a bit more next time. I even put some red potatoes, carrots and a chopped onion on top of the brisket and they steamed beautifully!
My husband even asked if I would make this for his work pot luck next month! He generally just asks for desserts (this time he wants pot roast and brownies) so I was impressed when he asked me to make "that pot roast" again!!

We made this for dinner tonight and it was tasty. We cut the liquid smoke way back to 3 Tbs.(based on the previous comments) and it was good but next time I think I will up the amount to give a smokier flavor. Thanks for posting.

Juicy, soft beef jerky might be a better description since so many people we're skeptical of the "wet beef jerky" description. WONDERFUL!!! Making it again for the inlaws it was SOOO wonderful!

I hate to say this, but I *HATED* this. I feel like my kitchen smells like there was a fire... a wet, smoky fire. The meat tasted OK but I couldn't get past the smell, and the fat tastes weird too.
My husband is convinced he can save the leftovers with some veggies and a modified shepherd's pie kind of thing, but if he hadn't stopped me, I would have thrown away half of the gorgeous grass-fed prime rib roast I feel like I ruined today.
I won't be rushing out to buy more liquid smoke any time soon.

This was so good that all of my kids old enough to eat (I have seven kids) ate it and my husband asked to put it into heavy rotation in our meal planning. I'm making it for the second time today and am so excited for dinner!

We made this for the first time today. We usually barbecue chicken on the grill with my secret kitchen sink sauce. We've never done a brisket before, for reasons unknown. I followed the recipe for this one, but cut the liquid smoke down to a 1/2T. That stuff is potent. The end result was good, but the A1 pretty much just made it taste like roast. Next time, i'll substitute Stubb's bbq sauce for the A1 and omit the celery salt (it kind of gave it this weird flavor for me that didn't sit well). Overall it was good, the hubby didn't complain, and the 3 yr old actually ate 2 bites.

So, i tried this recipe again and used Stubb's bbq sauce instead of A1, and it was better, but still didn't taste like barbeque. Then i realized the liquid smoke i had was MESQUITE flavored, and i was using hickory flavored sauce. Oops. No wonder it tasted weird. So i switched to Sweet Baby Ray's honey bbq sauce, and it went MUCH better with the liquid smoke i had. Now it's a weekly favorite, and i layer it with baked potatoes or corn on the cob. I also have upped the sauce amount to 2/3 cup, and i don't measure the liquid smoke; just keep adding it in til it smells right. The higher amount of sauce covers the meat better.
