Beef Brisket, Mashed Potatoes, Baked Beans, and Green Beans

Trent smoked seven pounds of beef brisket today, and I made some traditional sides to go with it. This was not a cheap meal, but it's pretty good nutritionally. Just don't ask about saturated fat.I didn't include Trent's homemade BBQ sauces in my calculations, because it would have been a pain in the ass. And I'm too tuckered out from all that good eatin'.
