Happy Saint Patrick’s Day everyone! Today is one of my most favorite eating holidays. For the past few years 3 including this one (I think) we have made Corned Beef and Cabbage and Potatoes and Carrots in the Crock Pot. This year we have two Crock Pots going all day to make over 8 pounds of Corned Beef. Why 8 Pounds? We are having a dinner of ten people tonight and want to make sure that there is enough left over for Allison to make some Corned Beef Hash! Although I leave for North Carolina tomorrow morning so none for me. In case you don’t know about all the history of Saint Patrick’s Day, here is a children’s site that explains it pretty well. Why a children’s site? I did a search and this one was the most easily accessible to all.
Tonight we had Andy and Rondi over for dinner. Tara and Erik and Mom and Dad and Elise were also here for dinner. I made about 8 pounds of corned beef and am pretty sure I ate at least a pound of it, it feels like I did. I am so stuffed. Two crock pots, and 2 large pots on the stove.
Tara made a vegetarian dish for her and Rondi and I made sure that I made the potatoes, carrots, and cabbage without any corned beef water. For the life of me I kept trying to think of the name for the carrots,cabbage and potatoes combination and I was wrong about what it was because what I called it was Colcannon, at least that was the word I was thinking about but Colcannon is more of a just cabbage, and potatoes dish.
Well we had a great meal including some Black and Tans with Guinness and Harp and Andy made a green ice cream that was raspberry flavored that I really liked, but apparently I was the only one. Sorry Andy.
