I can smell my tongue

[LizStreithorst]

No, I don't need to brush my teeth.  This is the beef tongue I've had in the brine for 13 days.  I put it in a 250 oven at 10:30 this morning.  It will have to cook for 3 more hours.  How will I survive until it's done?  It smells so good.  If it doesn't meet my expectations I will be heart broken.

I yearn to sit me down to eat
If I should die before I eat,
I pray God make my life complete
And just give me a piece of meat.

Preferably a perfect beef tongue, God

Oh, I forgot to mention...It's cooking in 24 oz of good brown ale with toasted cracked peppercorns, a dash of ground ginger, 1 clove, a dash of red pepper flakes.

I forgot...I put in 2 bay leaves..

Just one more hour and then I need to let it cool before I use my new 12" Vitorinox slicing knife.  I've had the knife for 2 weeks and this will be the first time I've had a chance to use it.
