Amy Rosen's best brisket recipe | Chatelaine.com ~  Looks good! ~ But hubby wouldn't eat it.

      Unfortunately, I dropped the ball this year and didn't plan for a Rosh Hashanah Dinner.  I like to plan special meals a few days before to be prepared for a day of cooking, or try to make some of the dishes a day in advance.  But with everything going on, yesterday I turned to my husband and asked what he wanted for Rosh Hashanah dinner and he said he didn't care ~Yeah, that helps a lot!  I told him, I know what you won't eat, tell me what you will!  He said soup.  Okay, so you want Matzo ball soup.  He says, "I thought that was a given!"  Usually every one fills up on soup and has no room for the rest of the meal!


      So, I decided to make a brisket, and hubby says, " I think I ate that once".  Oye Vey!  I bought the brisket yesterday, but didn't really have a plan.  So of course I was up at 6:00am and out of bed at 6:30, yes on a Sunday morning to get the brisket into the crock pot.  I like to use some type of alcohol when cooking meat, but Hubby had drank all the beer last night watching the game, and I didn't think I had time to marinate the meat in coke, so I just cut up some onions, dumped a packet on onion soup mix, 4 cups of water and beef bouillon into the crock pot. I turned the crock pot on for 8 hours.   I will add the veggies in a couple of hours so they don't get too mushy.

     I will d a simple vegetable like broccoli, since my family doesn't eat cooked carrots or sweet potatoes.

     In Canada there is a dish called Poutine, which they are very proud of.  It is French fries, with gravy poured on them and cheese curds melted on top.  Which my family WILL eat, so I will make that too!

      I am now going to look for a honey cake for our dessert, wish me luck! ~ Shanah Tova!

Take care, live, love and eat well!,
