Messed with brisket at Chads for several years during his bbq’s but never cooked one myself. Got a 15lb brisket earlier this week, trimmed it up and coated it with spicy brown mustard and rub on Wednesday evening. Put it in the pit boss yesterday when I got home from work on “smoke” setting for an hour. Then turned the heat on. Wrapped it at midnight in foil it was 170. Got back up at 4:30 this morning and the internal was 204. Wrapped it in a couple more layers and put it in a cooler. We gonna unwrap and slice it here soon. I’ll take pics of it sliced

only sliced half of it. I’ll take a picture of the thick part later. I sliced a pan full and wrapped it back up and put it back in the cooler
 
Just drooled and salivated a little bit looking at that picture. Looks good man!
 
Well I tried to hide part of it to take home later. Managed to get a slice for @Lil D to taste and the rest got tore up like hyenas were in the room
 
Nice!

We have "Goodie Week" at work the week prior to curtailment. Traditionally, it was three days of food-induced lethargy, followed by two days of "eat-all-the-leftovers-before-end-0f-the-day-Friday", afterwards the fridge's were cleaned out for the holiday shutdown before everybody left for Christmas.

Our current division head changed that, originally wanting to pretty much eliminate Goodie Week entirely. He was talked out of it, but now the three days are managed differently. Monday and Wednesday are for foods which people can pick up and take back to their cubes to eat throughout the day. Tuesday is the day reserved for the big lunch meal, and the day retirees came to visit. Our division head said he couldn't justify paying us for essentially eating our way through the entire week. A good point, honestly.

I typically bring chili...one or two crock pots worth. It's typically always been what I grew up with as one of the crockpots, and a second one something along different lines.

This year I made one I found online: "Slow Cooker Cream Cheese Crack Chicken Chili".

https://www.plainchicken.com/2019/02/slow-cooker-cream-cheese-crack-chicken.html

It's different than any other chili I've ever tried or made, but looked delicious on paper. It was. And no, it's not a tomato based chili.

I essentially doubled the recipe, but I could have tripled it easily in my 7 quart crock pot. Seasonings loosely adhered to, of course. You could add more chicken to it, in my opinion. Because meat is good.

Joke's on him, I still didn't do anything.
