Brisket, it's only going to be 95° in the shade with 85° humidity today. Possibly ever strong thunderstorms, yeah baby!
Two hours in...many many more to go...
Just needs a full bacon wrap.Don't take experimental gene therapies from known eugenicists. -
I saw a smallish brisket at Kroger last night for around $40 ($2.99/lb). I almost bought it, but I really don't have anyone around to eat that much meat lately. My always hungry son has been in Europe all summer and my daughter has been anti-red meat lately. That's the cheapest I've seen beef in a long time though.

I would of bought that just on principle alone. Around here it's far more expensive than that.
I might go back and grab the smallest one available. I could separate it and just cook cook the flat now and save to point for later. -

That's a killer smoker. I had one of those Chargrill pro's while up in WA. Made a few mods to it but it's solid. I'm sure you turn out great smoke on that thing!!Marantz AV10-Emotiva ERC3-Denafrips Venus-Panasonic UB820-AudioQuest Power Quest 707-Emotiva DR3, DR2, XPA2, XPA6-Focal Kanta No2, Sopra Center-PolkAudio RTiA9, RTiA3, LSiM 702F/X-Epik Empire-SVS SB5000-11.3 -

At my desktop this morning about to enjoy breakfast - "egg in a hole" with watermelon and pancake syrup.
When I was a very young kid in the 1950's, my mother would prepare these for the family at breakfast. My mother and father called them 'Will Rogers".
As I got older, I learned the "egg in a hole" name was the most prominent. I suspected my family got the name from listening to the Will Rogers radio show, but I never asked.
Today, I decided to explore my suspicions with Google AI:
Yes, calling an "egg in a hole" a "Will Rogers" is a documented, historical regional nickname for the dish. While the official archives do not have Will Rogers discussing the recipe on air, your parents’ nickname for it is a wonderful piece of American culinary folklore.
Why It Is Called a "Will Rogers"
The "egg in a hole" is famously known as a polyonymous dish, meaning it has dozens of different regional and familial names. The connection to the humorist stems from a couple of historical likelihoods:- The Famous Quote Connection: Will Rogers’ most famous and widely repeated piece of advice was: "If you find yourself in a hole, stop digging". Because the dish is literally an egg dropped into a hole carved out of bread, families in the 1930s and 1940s naturally linked the "hole" in the breakfast to his famous "hole".
- Pop Culture Marketing: During the 1930s and 1940s, food brands and newspapers frequently named recipes after beloved radio stars to catch the public's eye. While Will Rogers may not have invented or spoken about it, homemakers often adopted these star-studded titles from local newspaper recipe columns.
Other Colorful Names for the Dish
If you ever swap stories with people from other regions, you will find they might call it by completely different names:- Gashouse Eggs or Bulls-eyes (Common mid-century Midwestern terms)
- One-Eyed Jacks or Private Eyes (Playing on the look of the yolk)
- Toad in the Hole (An adaptation of a British sausage dish)
- Bird in a Cage or Eggs in a Basket
By the way, my mother never served watermelon and pancake syrup with the "Will Rogers".

Arrived at the cabin later than expected, thanks Saratoga Race Track traffic…
Immediately seasoned and started resting this:
Cooked on the charcoal grill and enjoyed it with a few sides from the butchers shop and a scotch.
Did I take a pics of it cooked?
Nope. Way too hungry. 😆 -
Nice and rare!
-
Raw meat? You're supposed to show us something that will make us hungry.

Hot cast iron or grill, sear it like you would a beef steak, finish with herb butter or chimichurri. Cook to 145 internal. -
Don’t stink up the house. Grill it.
-
Rosemary, garlic, lemon etc. in a marinade (Spiedie sauce if you're in WNY)
Grill to 140-145 as pointed out above. -
I picked up a blackstone griddle a few weeks ago and smashburgers have quickly become my favorite meal.
-
Beef, pork, or chicken.
Beat me to it.
Although I've made Lamb stew out of it before. That kinda waters down the gaminess.Gustard X26 Pro DAC

Alright, since I failed so miserably at taking COOKED pictures last time, here is make up post:
NY strip and assorted pasta salads from the butcher, with a pour of Smoke Wagon’s malted straight rye.
-
Great pics! We have been exploring ryes for a couple years and our former go to one was Basil Hayden Malted Rye. It’s since been supplanted by Bardstown Rye.
-
Rye has been a favorite of mine for a good amount of time.
The Smoke Wagon Malted in particular. Speaking with a buddy, who happens to be the liquor manager for a large retailer in my area. I mentioned how much I love it and have been picking it up from them for well over a year now. Everyone I know who has tried it, has loved it.
He mentioned that it doesn’t move, like at all. I’m pretty sure I’ve slowly purchased most of what they have sold. 😆
He agreed, it’s an amazing whiskey, people just ignore it.
So I bought a few more bottles and let him know that if he gets to the last bottle on the shelf, pull it and set it aside for me.
