Name: My Grandmother's Brisket
Ingredients: Oil (I use olive but basic Wesson oil good, too); 4 lb Piece first-cut brisket (I think any piece is fine), cut in 2-3 sections to fit in your pot if necessary; 6 lg Onions (I *told* you); roughly chopped [a]; 2 Stalks Celery; roughly chopped [a] (up to 3); Salt; pepper & paprika [b]; Potatoes cut in approx 2" cubes (or whatever you like)

If God is in fact our Enemy with only destructive intentions toward us, why do we experience any good at all? It isn’t surprising that life is painful. What’s surprising is that life is joyful. What do our simple, daily joys mean? Is God pretending to be our Friend, is He setting us up for the ultimate nasty surprise? Or is God sending us signals every day that His heart is loving and kind, so kind that we can go back to Him in repentance and find His arms open to us?

INGREDIENTS

		Oil (I use olive but basic Wesson oil good, too)
4	lb	Piece first-cut brisket (I think any piece is fine), cut in 2-3 sections to fit in your pot if necessary
6	lg	Onions (I told you); roughly chopped [a]
2		Stalks Celery; roughly chopped [a] (up to 3)
		Salt; pepper & paprika [b]
		Potatoes cut in approx 2" cubes (or whatever you like)

INSTRUCTIONS

Heat the oil till quite hot but not smoking. Sear all sides brisket (in
batches if necessary) till browned. Remove meat. Add half [a] to pot, stir
once or twice & sprinkle with [b]. Return meat; sprinkle with [b]. Add
remaining [a]; sprinkle with [b]. Cover pot, turn to med-low and simmer 3-4
hours. Stir halfway through so [a] on top moved to bottom and [a] from
bottom moved to top. And check from time to time to ensure onions aren't
burning and sticking to bottom of pot. Add potatoes for last 30 minutes.
It's ready when the meat is easily torn apart with 2 forks.
