This was my first cooking for a group of people.
It has now been a week since cooking class and I was nominated for the meat preparation of the annual Christmas office party. So, I pulled out my notes from Eddy and Paul and headed out to buy some meats. Then, do I use my old trusty notes or do I try some new things I learned at class???...I decided to go for it. So, I mixed up that fancy stuff from class and started injecting all the briskets. After all, it tasted great at class and hopefully I could duplicate what I observed just a week ago.
Well, my dogs loved it. But, the real test was all those people I see every day of the week.
I started slicing the briskets and knew that the moment of truth was here. Dang, this was like entering my first contest, only worse, but even I was impressed with the briskets.
Everyone voiced their approval and I just remembered that Okie told me "any meat they do not have to pay for will be great"
