Howdy fellas, non fellas and anyone in between. Me and Robert aka tx smoker tx smoker have become great friends over the last several months so we decided we wanted to do something for one another for Christmas. I received 2 huge boxes from him today. One was 44lbs lol. After lugging them into the house I sat down to open them and was blown away by his generosity and thoughtfulness. For those of you lucky enough to call Robert a friend then you already know. The first box was packed full of goodies. Several of containers of some of his homemade rubs and seasonings, a bottle of garlic olive oil and a bottle of pepper vinegar, a few packs of his jerky, jar of hot pickled garlic, some spicy pistachios he smoked.

That was the "light" box lol. The 44lb box was full of Certified Piedmontese Beef

My counter after unpacking everything

I've appreciated my friendship with Robert so much and will say that when he calls you a friend he means it. So to you Robert thanks for everything you managed to make us feel blessed. You have a package coming today, one tomorrow and another Monday!

You are more than welcome Jake. I had a few things in mind but it was Tracy that said to pull out all the stops. Far be it from me to argue. We don't do a lot during the year but tend to get a bit crazy at the holidays. You just happened along at the right time and the stars aligned :emoji_wink: Can't wait to see what you cook up with some of that meat. I can only imagine it'll be great.

Wow! What a great gift from Robert! And Jake, I know you will do some great things with all that beef!

It’s amazing the change that has taken place in this relationship in the past 8 months.

Very interesting and intuitive that you mention this because it's absolutely true and was the catalyst for the gift package. I told Tracy about the evolution of the online friendship that has developed between Jake and I and that's when she said I needed to pull out all the stops for this one. Thank you for making that observation Peachy. She thought it was great that what started out as a questionable relationship turned into something very positive.

There is no doubt to Roberts generosity. He has also gifted me with a competition trimmed brisket and a bottle of the garrison brothers. Among the other things we have sent back and forth.

Yes but all the steaks are upside down :emoji_laughing: My handwriting is hard enough to read but having to invert it makes things difficult...for me anyway. Half the time I can't even read what I wrote
