Lovely! At the house we moved to 29 years ago, there was a fig bush that grew to be bigger than the shed it was next to. Fresh figs for the neighborhood! Wonder how figs would do here.

Good morning all. Did anyone stay up for the Oscars last night? The winners went more or less as I thought, but aside from that, it felt like another good step away from the pandemic -- just more "normal," I guess.

QOTD: I'm not sure I have a bucket list. I just think more in terms of tasks, I guess, and they don't seem like a big deal. Should I have a bucket list?

I'm going to pick up a brisket at Costco today, and try marinating it over night before going into the InstantPot. We'll see how it goes.

I enjoyed the show, Jimmy Kimmel did a good job and they kept everything flowing!

How did last week's brisket experiment go? Also, what do you use in your marinade?

I heard the major results on BBC World Service last night -- sounds like you were pretty on-target with your predictions!

Brisket was OK. It did get pretty tender in the InstantPot. But I didn't marinade at all ahead of time, which I hope will make it more tender. But the biggest issue was it was too salty, even for me. Which I don't think has ever happened. I won't add salt at all this time. And I think the marinade will help with that as well.

I've got some commercial bottled marinade and red wine vinegar this time. While I won't prohibit it, I'd prefer you not ask what I used last time. It's a little . . . embarrassing.

Lady Godiva's recipe called for 12 Oz of Guinness, not as a marinade, really, but to put in the InstantPot while cooking. Online recipes said to use red wine. I created a Guinness analog. Some diet coke and maple syrup.
