My sister and her hubby drove up this afternoon because my side of the family celebrates X-mas on the 24th. I was excited to see them again – but I was even more excited to taste the delicious braised brisket she brought up.

I was fresh out of lard, so I bought a bottle of macadamia nut oil to use as my lubricant of choice.

This was my first plate:
Happy holidays everyone!
