Wow - sounds great!

nice... I just had a can of healthy choice chicken soup... my sinuses are bugging out with this rain

Sre, Allison, hope you feel better soon!

Sounds good WC, except for the Guiness part

That's ok, I left out the Berringer '09 part when I was cooking it along with the James Bond Music on my Bose sterero, lol!

thank you WC

I haven't cooked in a week! Love being on vacation! Tonight, baked chicken breasts with mushrooms, onions, & peppers, broccoli sauteed with garlic, and wild rice mix.

Couple of those Angus beef hamburgers w/ onion, lettuce & tomato, plenty of crinkle cut fries w/ ketchup on the side. Some more pound cake & ice cream for dessert. ☺

DH took me to a new Mexican place, it was very good!

KFC grilled chicken, we went to get our taxes done

skipping dinner... went to a Chinese buffet for lunch

Had our corn beef, carrots, potatoes, soda bread and cabbage a day early. Holly's Mom and Dad couldn't come tomorrow. Topped off with Key lime pie, pretty tasty. Ric

Haven't had good key lime pie since I left Fla...

wife is going out tonight so it will be rack of lamb!

We were supposed to burn a huge pile of debris last weekend but it was too windy so tonight will be the big Bonfire! DH invites a few buddies to help with the burn and I feed them
I've got a rack of ribs w/a rub on it that im going to slow cook and chicken marinating since yesterday morning will be cooked on the grill. Not sure what else I'm a fixing but with a bunch of men coming the meat was the most important thing.
Most likely will be some pasta or rice n' beans and a batch of brownies.
And of course we have the ingredients for some S'mores. ^_^

what flavor beer? and what time? i can save the rack of lamb.

Smoke signals too?

Flavor of beer ~ No idea, that i leave up to Brian.
Time ~ Torching will start somewhere around 4 I think. Most of the guys are coming in from work and the wind had died down by then.

Victor with brian at the helm, smoke signals are possible......please let me know if you can see them!

I will. After a few beers?

He doesn't need the beers, his friends do. LOL

Corned beef tonight

Beer.

New England boiled dinner with grey corned beef, cabbage, carrots and potatoes. If you have never had grey corned beef corned locally, you have not had corned beef. Happy St, Pat's Day everyone!

If it looks grey I don't buy it!! (lol!)

- Corned beef w/ red potatoes & cabbage. ☺!

It is grey because there are no chemicals in it. Only salt to corn it just like it has been done for centuries. You can corn your own the same way if you wish. Just float a potato or egg to check the brine for correct salt content and submerge the brisket in the water and salt mix and put in fridge for at least two or three weeks. Change brine every week if desired. Very yummy stuff.

I got my corned beef in the crockpot. Does anyone know the trick to it? I've been told hundreds of things. I don't think I've ever had the corned beef come out so it was falling apart which is how I like it. Is it because it is on top of the veggies and not right in the water maybe? Please l.m.k if any one has any secrets. My mom doesn't trust slow cookers because she thinks they'll set the house on fire... my dad is a fireman so maybe she is extra paranoid. So she can't give me any advice. She always made it good right on the stovetop but I don't have time for that because I am working between 1:30 and 4:30pm so I don't think that's enough time for stovetop.

A friend told me pressure cooking it is the way to go. I put it in the pot and boiled it to death last week and it was stringy. I swear I will never cook it again unless - maybe try the pressure cooker.

corned beef tonight.

Had our corned beef yesterday, you could cut it with a fork, here's how I do it:
Many corned beef cuts come with a spice packet or you can use a little McCormick pickling spice. Don't drain the juice that came in the package it adds to the flavor.Just put the meat in what ever your roasting in, fat side up add spice and a couple of inches of water and roast covered at 350*F for 50 mins. per #. Add your cabbage and potatoes if you like, about 1/2 hour before your done time. I also uncover mine for about 15 mins. at 375*F to lightly brown everything. Carrots are optional, the main reason I add them is that not everyone likes cabbage. Slice across the grain of the meat and Bon Appetit!
I think I'll grill a London broil for dinner to have with the feta,olive,and sun dried tomato pasta salad i made yesterday. Ric

Here's slow cooker recipe,

I think I would add more spices though to that one.

Potato & pasta salad w/ grilled keilbosa or killbossy however you want to hear it.

killbossy, ROTF Sounds like a Quentin Tarantino movie about a cow, too much. Ric

Corned beef---not grey---potato salad, & coleslaw. We had the NE boiled dinner on Sun. with DH's family, but I had already bought the corned beef---anyway, we'll get leftovers.

My corned beef has been cooking in the slow cooker since 10am and the water is bright red. The meat still looks red. Do I need to cook it way more?

Going out for CB+C, usually cook it at home but DH saw an ad for all you can eat at a local Greek restaurant - we'll see how they do.

I am making my CB on the weekend... we had teriyaki chicken .. with black beans & rice

Meredith how did it turn out? Corned beef is supposed to be red in color.

Greek restaurant - we have to travel 25 miles. I would almost kill for a gryo where the lamb is sliced right off the spit. Is it called a spit? The turning thing.
