What's that you're eating?

Just did a taste test and the sour cream helps tone down the spice in the chili and I like it better w/as opposed w/o the sour cream:

Then I put the chili in the Fritos bag topped w/sour cream and it was good too.

I can get the attraction of the crunch from the Fritos and the simplicity of just pouring the chili into the bag. No fuss/no muss. Just toss away the bag when you're done. Will definitely consider it as a party treat in the future but I'd just used canned chili for that.

However, the chili is not a "light" dish and I can already feel what little I ate making a big lump in my stomach that needs time to digest. So, I'm not going to postpone trying the straight bowl of chili and chili/rice dinner plate in the next couple of days.

Too much of a good thing…
 
A further update on my brisket project. The 2.5# point has been curing in the frig for the past 5 days.

Don't know how to tell if it's ready or not but it's not a big piece of meat & figured 5 days was enough. Vaccum sealed & froze it for later use.

Thinking about firing up my vertical pellet smoker to BBQ the 3# center flat that I've also got in the freezer but it's been for f*cking hot recently, I just don't want to BBQ anything right now. Maybe later when it gets cooler.

Can’t wait to see that when it’s finished.

I so much prefer grilling outside when it’s hot but we’ve had a super mild summer so far. I’d feel differently if I was under that southern heat dome right now. The wife’s sisters were saying it was touching on 110F last week in SanAntonio.
