Lime Daiquiris
Using frozen limeade concentrate to make this refreshing summertime drink will save the trouble of juicing limes and you won't have to add any sugar. To crush the ice before blending the drink, put ice cubes in a seal top plastic bag and use a rolling pin as a hammer to break the ice into small pieces.

Ancho Chili Barbecued Beef Brisket
Brisket of beef is a boneless cut from the breast that is most often used in making corned beef and works well when slow cooked on a grill. Asking your butcher for the "flat cut" will yield a much leaner piece, while the "point cut," which contains more fat, will have more flavor. Using the point cut will guarantee a more delicious meal.
