Our hostess was incredible, having two rotisserie cooked chickens for us (slow cooked for long enough that the meat practically crumbled when you took a fork to it), beans and rice, baklava, green beans, and other stuff that I can't remember for dinner Friday night. Like the rest of the weekend, everything was homemade. Around midnight Friday, she started smoking a 16-pound brisket in her new, cast iron smoker that was on the deck out back. That probably cooked for a good 18 hours or so, along with the turkey she threw in there around 6 am or so, that was smoked for around 12 hours. She also made some spanakopita, which was of course wonderful. The most impressive things were perhaps her desserts, which included a four layer cheescake with incredible rich buttermilk icing, a chocolate cheesecake, which she intentially made so it collapsed in the middle while baking. This allowed her to drizzle a pound of melted chocolate and cream over it, pooling in the middle, and when you pull a slice away, letting the chocolate drizzle down the middle of it.
