<p>[QUOTE=&quot;sonlarson, post: 3905528, member: 15488&quot;]Case in point, <b><i>I</i></b> overcooked a brisket yesterday because I wanted to take my brother hog hunting last night. I had to give my wife instructions on when to take it out since I had to leave before it was done. My wife knows nothing about smoking a brisket or grilling. She left in in too long and now all of our guest today will be served dried out brisket. Is my wife wrong because she didn&#039;t have my experience?</p><p>No, she just learned to take advantage of my experience. I got experience in smoking brisket by doing exactly what she did in the past and learned from it.</p><p>Bottom line is <b><i>she gained experience</i></b> in what happens when she failed to follow my instructions on outdoor cooking, and<i><b> I gained a new experience</b></i> is not to walk away from a smoking brisket that is not ready and relying on someone else to finish the job.</p><p>Do I get upset with my wife? Heck no, I gained that experience years ago. We have been married 47 years.</p><p><i><b>&quot;We don&#039;t make mistakes, just happy little accidents&quot;</b></i>. That quote applies to more than just painting. I&#039;ll just make sure I have plenty of BBQ sauce to serve with the dried out brisket. My guest will never know.</p><p>Not only that, she showed me how to steam the meat to restore some of the moisture, which was her sharing her experience.</p><p><br /></p><p><i><b>Experience is all about making mistakes and learning not to repeat them</b></i>. An easy mistake to make is not learning from the experts who got that way by making the same mistake in the past themselves.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
