    Prayers for those In Belgium

    If you haven't heard yet, two suicide bombs went off in Brussels. One at the Brussels airport and one on their subway system near the headquarters of the EU. At least 25 are dead and hundreds wounded. Prayers for the souls of the dead and for all of Belgium as they deal with this.

    SV Prime Rib, Lobster & Brussels Sprouts

    I'm so sorry you had to suffer through that. I don't know you, but I would have gladly suffered through that meal so you wouldn't have to. :)

    First try at pastrami

    Al, You are a mountain of good info. I am smoking a couple of corn beef flats I picked up at the store today for a church pot luck tomorrow. With the rub I put on there it should have a killer bark, and I thought steaming would ruin it. Glad to hear you have done it without steam.
