Gifts From A Great Friend

[TNJAKE]

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.

Heck yeah bud enjoy that brisket. Guess I'll be forced to try the whiskey tonight lol

 

[TNJAKE]

I don’t know the history of your friendship but I do know about how amazing it is to have someone think about you and go out of their way to make you feel special. Especially in these tough times. Good for you both TNJAKE and @tx smoker. Once again this forum gives me hope for people.

Totally agree

Unreal!! What a true friend. Hellfire,I will have to throw a barbecue just to get pallbearers. Lucky You Jake....but-You are a nice person. You have helped me a lot. Charlie

 

[TNJAKE]

Yes but all the steaks are upside down 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

Robert

Lmao yep just noticed that. Not sure why my brain had me place them upside down. I haven't even drank the whiskey yet lol

You got a heck of a lot of choice stuff there! That hooch is very good!

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.

Robert

Some of my best friends were made after disagreements or worse.
Good on you guys.

That is a very generous gift. And I (and am sure many others) look forward to the gift you give us when you post the pics of the cooks you do with all of that great meat!

There will be many threads made from this gift. He's got some good stuff headed his way as well

Exactly, I would've been more than happy to get just the bottle...good stuff!!!
I buy the Garrison boot flasks pretty often they make great "aim'in oil" bottles for the duck blind.

Wow! That is an amazing gift Jake! It's so great that you've become such close friends. Jake you are more than deserving and Robert you are ultra generous. Very touching and heartfelt. I get more positivity from SMF than any other thing. Thanks for sharing.

Robert’s generosity knows no bounds. I have been happy to call him a friend.

Howdy fellas, non fellas and anyone in between. Me and Robert aka @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.View attachment 474490View attachment 474489
And a very nice bottle of Garrison Brothers small batch whiskeyView attachment 474491
That was the "light" box lol. The 44lb box was full of Certified Piedmontese BeefView attachment 474492
A couple of huge tomahawks. The writing on the bottom right corner of all the steaks are the weightView attachment 474493
5 super thick ribeyesView attachment 474494
4 of the biggest porterhouse steaks I've ever seenView attachment 474495
And 2 HUGE racks of meaty beef back ribsView attachment 474496
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!

ok... now it is the time to use my bleeding hearts pep talk... here we go:
Sir, I'm coming from war thorn country (Bosnia) and all of my family died during bombing and I was only child and no brothers and sisters... would you be so kind and adopt me and send me one of those packages?.... How m I doing so far?

 

[Brokenhandle]

That's just plain awesome! Jake, you deserve those boxes to brighten your world, it couldn't happen to a nicer guy. And Robert and Tracy, you are such great people! I have been on the receiving end of some of your gifts and your knowledge... and am very appreciative of it.

Is definitely a great forum with lots of great people!
