I'm having a house full of friends and neighbors for a late St. Pat's day dinner tomorrow. Am cooking my corned beef today though because it slices easier and I can skim lots of the fat off the broth once it sets up to make a "skinnier" gravy LOL.
I was planning on chicken tonight but my DH called to say he would love corn beef and cabbage, so off to the store I went they had directions on the bag so I'm boiling it per the directions. I'm not a big meat eater but I will enjoy the cabbage and carrots. Happy St Patricks day to all.
Happy St. Patrick's Day to everyone too! We are having a record high of 78 degrees here in the Chicago area! I can't remember a sunnier, warmer, or more gorgeous St. Pat's Day then this one! I hope everyone is having a gorgeous day too!
Yes! Reuben sandwiches for tomorrow's lunch! Haven't had those in a while ...with REAL Swiss cheese. Had 8 couples for a day-late St. Pat's dinner tonight and there's plenty left for another 8! I DO love Corned beef and cabbage soup made with left overs. Chicken broth works great for the broth or to add to the gravy.
Cheryl, I went to your blog but was unalbe to leave a message. I ended up throwing cabbage, carrots + the corn beef all in one pot with the spice package, brought it to a boil and simmered it 3 hours and it was great. The cornbeef was only 2 pounds but the extra cooking didn't hurt it. I was glad I tried it as we will have it again.
Happy St. Patrick's Day!
