What did you eat today?

[Catrin]

OK, two questions...

1) you cooked a sweet potato for 14 hours? Where?

2) how are you cooking your brisket? (I've never cooked one either)

The sweet potato was HUGE! I estimate that it weighs at least 6 pounds, possibly more. I set the oven on 200 degrees and forgot about it. After 6 hours it was still hard, so I bumped the temp to 250 & went to bed. It was ready by morning and I will use most of it in a recipe tomorrow.

As far as the brisket is concerned I found a recipe where it is baked on a bed of onions and mushrooms. It is only 1 pound, I did not want to risk a larger brisket until I figure out what to do with it...
