St. Patrick's Day: Orange Glazed Beef Brisket

2017-08-23

It's the end of a very long stress filled day. You're tired. You plop down on your couch beef brisket at home through the exhaustion, you feel your stomach rumbling. Too tired to cook anything, and too lazy to go back out in the world and buy something, you plop a frozen meal in the microwave.Everything from chips and dip to fresh prepared barbecue beef brisket cooked in a smoker for 16 hours. Hot dogs and sausage are two things that shine at these parties, and it is in the many creative ways people use and prepare them.The Patio Barbeque Feast will include a plate piled high with a variety of barbequed delights including Smoked Baby Back Ribs, bbq brisket, Carolina Barbeque Wings, Coleslaw, Cornbread, Baked Beans, and a duo of unique barbeque sauces - Carolina and traditional flavors. The meal is $25 per person. Additionally, Art and Soul serves will offer new autumn brews including Alewerks Tavern Ale, Duck-rabbit Milk Stout, Penn Brewing Weizen, and Old Dominion Octoberfest. Buckets of six 7 oz. "nips" are also available for $14. The Patio Barbeque Feast will take place 5:30 p.m. - 10:30 p.m. on Art and Soul's patio every Wednesday throughout the fall, weather permitting.Years ago I went to Belgium and could not get enough of the the classic Belgian meal, moulle e frites, mussels and fresh-cut French fries. Of course the slow cooker bbq brisket Belgian beer is world renowned. Every small town has a pub that makes remarkable beer, and in the cities you can sit outside in an outdoor cafe and enjoy a big steaming pot of mussels and drink some amazing beers. Witbier is a classic with steamed mussels, but when I was in Belgium I preferred to try as many different Abbey Dubels and Tripels as I could, and they paired perfectly with the succulent North Sea Belgian mussels.Saving the best for last. Smile, wave, hug and cuddle. Ok, you may want to tone it down when you drop off the 14 year old, but you can at least smile and txt her that you love her bbq beef hula hoops calories to have a nice day.
