Just for general information, if a person was serious about dry rubs for brisket, chicken, or whatever meat, you can quickly make your own with spices you already have on hand. Check out a book by Cheryl and Bill Jamison by the name of Smoke and Spice. Tons of different recipes and a lot of information about cooking on a charcoal grill, water smoker, or wood burning pit. Of course, an oven can be substituted for the source of heat.

Btw, I just read on-line tonight that a California court case was thrown out last year regarding Cap'n Crunch: plaintiff sued the company because the label and advertising for Cap'n Crunchberries contain neither berries nor real fruit. Gee, whiz.

I never liked the taste of Cap'n Crunch. What I don't get is that I have read all over the place about how sharp that cereal is. Why doesn't the manufacturer do something about that???

One of the best things about Houston is Fiesta grocery stores. We used to take visitors there for the cultural experience.

I don't even Cap't Crunch very often (and then only the PB kind), but I would be TICKED if they made it less "sharp" - because that would be less crunchy, which is what the name advertises! I like my cereal to stay crunchy, and there are precious few that do. Tonight it's gonna' be raviolis that are from Sam's Club, and some homemade spicy alfredo sauce.

No... I understand what you are talking about. Let's recap: 1. You posted that you put Fiesta spices in your marinade for you brisket. 2. I posted that I don't have a Fiesta grocery store in La. 3. You posted that you buy your "Fiesta" brand at Krogers. 4. I posted that I don't have a Krogers in NO to buy a Fiesta brand. 5. You asked if I had a Safeway. 6. I told you we don't have a Safeway in Louisiana. 7. You told me to click on link. 8. I decided to find my own link of Fiesta grocery stores (which verified no Fiestas in Louisiana). 9. I decided to go to Krogers (which verified nearest Krogers was 221.9 miles from my house). 10. Goddess invited me to come visit her so I can do her weekly grocery shopping for her and Colossus. Obviously, why would I pass up the chance to go grocery shopping in Indianapolis in the dead of winter with sub-freezing temperatures and two feet of snow on the ground? 10. You tell me Fiesta Mart and Fiesta spices are two different things. ((((sigh))) I may be from Louisiana, but I know that. I think that pretty much sums it up!!!

I just wanna say that the way Texans apparently make brisket and the way Jews make it couldn't be more different. FWIW, the people who own Kroger also own Ralph's in SoCal. They probably own a supermarket near most people--tons of chains: The Kroger Company

I've never had corned beef (!) but it's like pot roast. I think corned beef is brined, but I might be wrong.
