I mentioned to my neighbor that I finally tried that brisket recipe he'd been telling me about. Honestly, it came out better than I expected. I've never been great with a smoker, but I followed his instructions to the letter—kept the temperature steady at 225, used hickory chips instead of mesquite, and let it rest for a full hour before slicing. The bark had that deep mahogany color and the meat pulled apart without any effort. We served it with a simple vinegar-based slaw and some pickles. My wife said it was the best I'd ever made. I told him I'd bring some over next time. He laughed and said he'd hold me to it. I also tried a different rub this time—more paprika, less sugar—and it gave it a nice savory finish without being too sweet. I think I'm finally getting the hang of it. Anyway, that's what I've been up to this weekend.

I ran into Sarah at the farmers market this morning and she mentioned she's been reading that new mystery novel everyone is talking about. She said the plot twists caught her off guard and she ended up finishing it in two sittings. I told her I've been on more of a non-fiction kick lately, mostly memoirs and history stuff. She laughed and said that tracks given how much time I spend watching documentaries. We grabbed coffee from that little stand by the entrance and caught up for a while. She's planning a trip to the coast next month and asked if I had any trail recommendations. I told her about the loop near the lighthouse that has those incredible views at sunset. She wrote it down on a napkin. It was nice to run into her like that. I should text her later to see if she needs directions or anything. Anyway, that's the gist of my morning.
