Am I the only one who loves this?
(Preview)
I got hooked on this when I spent 2 weeks in Scotland when I was active duty in '88. I didn't have any until I went to the Scottish festival this past spring. My wife noticed how much I loved it and bought me a case for my birthday. I have been slowly milking the twelve since than. Jim

Chilling the brisket makes it easier to slice. Rewarm the meat in the sauce and serve with a full-flavored dar...

Sorry for being away. Been a little hectic. How many people out there go through the trouble of making steel cut oats vs old fashion, quick or instant oats? I've always liked them and since my doctor told me to change my diet I've been making them every morning for breakfast. Jim
