National Themes For May 28th: National Brisket Day, and National Hamburger Day.

🐂National Brisket Day! As one of the nine primal cuts of beef, brisket comes from the breast or lower chest of beef or veal. Brisket is a tough and relatively inexpensive cut of meat. While it requires some patience to cook brisket to tenderness, the reward is well worth the effort. Select a well-marbled cut of meat. The fat will keep the brisket moist and add flavor to the final product. Season it well and give it a dark sear. This will seal in the juices. Cook it slow, cook it long. It can be cooked in the oven or over indirect heat over charcoal or wood. Many times oak, pecan, hickory or mesquite is added to the other hardwoods to enhance the flavor. Brisket will be fork tender when it is fully cooked and is then served with or without a sauce.

🍔National Hamburger Day celebrates a summer-time grilling favorite and National Hamburger Day is part of National Hamburger Month. It is most likely that the hamburger sandwich first appeared in the 19th or early 20th centuries, but there is much controversy over its origin. Over the years, the hamburger has become a culinary icon in the United States. The world’s largest hamburger was prepared on September 2, 2012, in Carlton, Minnesota by Black Bear Casino Resort and weighed in at 2,014 pounds.

Beef lovers dream day!

I did learn today what the coinings on a soldiers head stone mean: a penny means you payed your respect, a nickel means you were in boot camp together, a dime means you served together, and a quarter means you were there when they died.

Warm hugs!💕🐶🌤
