What is the result of…people-idolatry? As in all idolatry, the idol we choose to worship soon owns us. The object we fear overcomes us. Although insignificant in itself, the idol becomes huge and rules us. It tells us how to think, what to feel, and how to act. It tells us what to wear, it tells us to laugh at the dirty joke, and it tells us to be frightened to death that we might have to get up in front of a group and say something. The whole strategy backfires. We never expect that using people to meet our desires leaves us enslaved to them.

4	lb	Boneless beef brisket; well-trimmed; 4 to 5 lb
1 1/2	ts	Salt
1/2	c	Catsup
1/4	c	Vinegar
1/2	c	Finely chopped onion
1	tb	Worcestershire sauce
1 1/2	ts	Liquid smoke
1		Bay leaf; crumbled
1/4	ts	Pepper

INSTRUCTIONS

Rub meat with salt. Place in ungreased baking dish (13x9x2). Stir together
remaining ingredients and pour over meat. Cover tightly with foil and bake
in slow oven (325 degrees) for 3 hours or until tender. Open foil during
the last 45 minutes to allow it to brown a bit.
Mary Ann's note: I think the liquid smoke adds that Texan authenticity that
distinguishes this from the ordinary - and the long slow cooking.
