National Brisket Day 2025
Today is National Brisket Day and a savory cut of beef would be ideal for a cool, rainy Hump 🐫 Day.
Where’s The Beef?
Some foods will improve your meal, your mood, your day, your buttered noodles. Brisket will improve your life. ~Stephanie Pierson
We actually had sausage and peppers today, but I’ve heard so much about brisket that I’m glad it has its own day.
Fortunately, this week began with a holiday, so it’s practically the weekend again already.
Apart from feeling run down, there’s not a whole lot new going on this week.
It’s just one of those filler weeks and so much the better. I’m not up for drama at the moment.
But, back to the topic of today’s post, I’ve heard enough made of Midge Maisel’s brisket in the show that I got curious.
Just Like Mrs. Maisel’s
I made the official Mrs Maisel Brisket
As I’ve mentioned before, I love when people do videos on how to emulate signature dishes from books, TV and movies.
YouTube is full of people who do videos like the one above and I salute them.
Miss MonMon gets extra credit for making something she can’t really even eat just to test the iconic dish.
The recipe is pretty straightforward and looks like something I’d like to try before much longer.
Anachronism
It’s my famous Passover brisket. It’s the reason the Angel of Death spared us. ~Midge Maisel
Mrs. Maisel is as marvelous as the title of her series suggests.
The quote above is a marvelous example of anachronistic hyperbole in Midge’s rapidfire style of humor.
Rachel Brosnahan played this role with perfect pitch, and I can’t wait to see her playing a feisty Lois Lane in the upcoming Superman movie.
As I mentioned above, I’m not feeling particularly well today. As such, I have no nuggets of wisdom to expound on.
Sometimes Hump 🐫 Day is simply insurmountable.
Hopefully, I’ll be feeling more chatty by Saturday because that topic tends to get me fired up.
That’s all for today. See you back on Saturday for 🤖🚗.
