Robert and Laura are really good cooks. Today Robert spent all day cooking a brisket. It involved many steps, the first of which was smoking it for about 8 hours. The whole process involved multiple rubs and sauces, two trips to the grill and some time in the oven. It was most excellent. Laura's parents came over for the evening and we had fun playing games and eating. Afterward, Laura made her scratch baked chocolate chip cookies which were really good. A good time was had by all.
