Kids, I’m making pastrami.

Have I mentioned how much fun Brett, Corey and I have working on The Holocene? So much fun.

Like, we’re hosting a pastrami-along. In the vein of a knit- or crochet-along, we’re following Corey’s instructions and recipe for making bourbon-smoked pastrami, and the project starts today. I’ve never done anything remotely like this, and I’m very excited to give it a shot.

This afternoon, I stopped by the butcher to buy a brisket, which is now sitting in my fridge. This evening I’ll make the brine for it, to start corning the beef.
