Hey yall. Welcome back to the fourth week of our Southern cookin experience. This week, I managed to get to the main course, the Southern supper. We began early in the day, getting our roast seasoned up with garlic power, salt, pepper, and good ole Greek seasoning. Make sure to sear the sides of the brisket. We then cut up some onions, and placed the roast into the crock pot, put the onions over, and put half a stick of butter into the crock pot. You gotta make sure to let that cook for at least 6 hours. At around the 5 hour mark, we started our sides. We made mashed potatoes, fried okra, black eyed peas, and cornbread. We breaded our okra with some cornmeal, and made the mashed potatoes from scratch. We just boiled the peas with water and some bacon. After we fished out our brisket, we used the leftover juices to make a gravy for the mashed potatoes. It was a delicious supper.
This is Laurel. Great job Carson, I commend you for learning to cook! What are you going to cook next? Is your mom still helping you? Keep up the hard work.
ReplyDeleteThis seems like lots of work for a meal, that's probably what sets these heavenly sounding dishes ahead of my Kraft Macaroni meals. Food is an enormous part of culture, and this seems to represent southern culture very well. Is it worth putting all this effort and time forth to making these meals?
