Today I choose to remember my friend Karen .
She passed 9 years ago today, her final resting place in the Terlingua Cemetery
in Terlingua Texas. That day we put her to rest after a long battle with the cancer , I fulfilled a request she had asked me months before she went .
after the ceremony I had over 100 people and friends and family over to our home for a "Bruce's Far Flung Terlingua Beef" BB-Q dinner in her honer , in the Gost Town across the street from the cemetery where I lived for 5 years.
I still remember the all night domino games and lots of other fun had while you "Lived" and she did live a good life , and still remember her passing like yesterday .
Karen I'm cooking today , Brisket your favorite , for another friend !
And , May You Still Rest in Peace !
I started this late last night/early morning and expect it to be ready by 8:00 pm tonight,
And just in case ya want to tell me about how good your brisket is , Please!!!!
I got it down !!!!
Just in case ya want a sample head out to Terlingua Texas and find
"The LaKiva Bar and Grill" in off Highway 170, 3 miles east of the Gost Town @ Terlingua Creek.
Glen still uses my original recipe's and cook methods , since 2000 .
These have been on for 12 hours and have another 6 to go .
Looks like I need another log on the fire !!
A friend was in a bind and another one of my cook team friends asked me to help a brother out !
So here ya go Sam.
and that's the way it is,
cheers !

What a great tribute to your friend Karen. I am sure wherever she is at she is smiling as you cook her favorite dish.
ReplyDeleteYou are a good man helping out a fellow brother with your god given cooking talent!!
Bruce , your a good friend to karen. This is how we repsect our friends the most is by bringing them up in recolection at times. KUDOS TO YOU!!! And I didnt just suck up to you for some of your brisket when I see you. Although I must have some, just by looking at it I can tell its the best.
