My first brisket!

I was watching martha one day, and she had on a guest who was promoting his "easiest brisket ever."  He was right, it sure looked easy. But I was skeptical and decided to try out his theory. And being that this is my first time making brisket, I needed the easiest recipe in the universe. His name is Arthur Schwartz and you can find his exact recipe here.  This came out so delicious. Like buttuh! I know brisket can seem intimidating at first, but it really is so easy. The only drawback is that it does take a long time in the oven, but hey, thats less work for you! The oven does all the work for you.
