Teriyaki Brisket

Yesterday, I thought we were going to get snowed in. Dan and I went grocery shopping in the morning and basically prepared to stay in all day and night. It stopped snowing early in the afternoon and we ended up going out with friends. We did however get a lot done. I cooked and Dan furiously cleaned all day.

I ended up making my shepherd's pie with cream stout gravy. I could drink that gravy. I would eat it on everything if I could. It's seriously that good.

Today, I made a teriyaki brisket in the crock pot. It was super delicious.
