Brisket
I'm trying to follow smitten kitchen's slow cooker brisket (http://smittenkitchen.com...) recipe, but I'm unclear if the 8-10 pound cut she calls for is trimmed or untrimmed; it's supposed to serve 8-10 people so i think it's untrimmed, but I can't tell. Can anyone help?!?!?! I'm supposed to go to costco to buy one in two hours!

Does Costco even sell untrimmed brisket? If you have a choice, just get the trimmed one.

Do you think a pound of meat to each of YOUR diners is enough? We don't know whom you're serving, so you'll have to make the judgment call. Much of this depends on what other items you are serving. If you are also offering other meat items (grilled chicken, sausages, etc.), then a pound of brisket per person might be more than you need.
It's worth pointing out that leftover brisket can be refrigerated for several days and survives freezing quite well. Personally, I'd prefer to cook enough brisket so there would be leftovers.
Good luck.
