It's been a busy weekend. It's nice to finally have a day at home with the family.

Started the day with a little baking therapy.

Browned off a couple of slices of fatty. Fried up an egg, and hit it with some cheese.

Took care care of the ladies' breakfasts, then got down to business for the day.

With all of JasonTQ's discussion of corned this and that (and the fact that I need to build space in the deep freezer), I decided to make pastrami.

I'd recently found a Half-Price Sale on Corned Brisket flats, and I also decided to try my hand at a light corning/brining of some baby backs (only had 1 overnight in the brine due to my crazy schedule). Cut the rack in half, so we'd also have some more traditional-style ribs if the pastrami-d ribs don't work out.

I hit those with a pastrami rub off ThirdEye's Pastrami webpage.

I hit the other half-rack of baby backs with our Wicken Yanks Original... hadn't used this in a LONG time.

Smoker's starting up. It's bloody hot out there. Cold seltzer and Mexican beer in the fridge for hydration.

More to follow.

Sandwich makings all look fabulous! Have fun! I am interested to hear about the ribs, since you did them less than 24 hours.
 
I know this isn't the main event... but the beef pastrami probed like butter after a second trip through the pressure cooker (10 min, hi pressure, natural release).

I could honestly sit here and cut slices off this thing, snacking as I go, and completely ruin my appetite for dinner.

Sweet donkey kong!
 
This baby sliced up really nicely with my new cutlery.... but I REALLY want a nice deli slicer machine. That'd be tops.

CINCHOUSE suggested we have pastrami sammiches as a side for the ribs... :tsk:

Even our munchkin enjoyed 2-3-4 small pieces of pastrami after her nap!
