It's Corn Beef season.

I think I bought enough to last me the year. Maybe couple more just to be safe? Throw a few in the freezer for sandwich or hash making in July or later. The first one this year I was thinking of boiling and finish it in the oven. I know backwards for pastrami. I'll have to think on that before the weekend while I get my Irish on.  After I get my Irish on it won't matter. I'll eat that rare.

    My wife has the corned beef and cabbage.  Will make boiled dinner as we call it over the weekend in the crockpot.

    You two guys ribbin each other sure make me have a hankering for some ribs! :D 

    I know there are a lot of folks who would be sick trying to enjoy many foods that I like.  I even had a short discussion with the checkout girl at the store I bought the corned beefs. She started the conversation saying she could not stand the stuff and gave me quite a look when I bought 3.  I just smiled and told her that I was planning on giving her one before she shared her distain.  :o

    Got my "I DRINK WELL WITH OTHERS" tee shirt I picked up from Safeway last year after St. Patty's last year. Got four 8 packs of Guinness $10 a pack with coupons that was helpful. Luckys had $1.88 a pound Blarney Stone corned beef (with coupon) limit 2 so I went to two stores. So my fridge is really stuffed with additional corned beef. Good thing they store well. Gives me time to eat what's in the freezer. So today I'm going to do just corned beef and cabbage with no other fixings aside from condiments. I did get a bottle of Bailey's Strawberries  & Cream so I'm gonna see what that's all about while the water boils. Yes I'm gonna go traditional this time out. I'll do the "pastrami" style later (maybe tomorrow?). If I'm back later my tee shirt may be telling porkies.

    Like it real "corny". Low and slow in the oven, wrapped in foil, couple hours, then in the grill with wood for smoke an hour or so. Always just buy the cheap brisket and stock up now for rest of year.

    Ms. WT doesn’t care for it.  But she cooked up a large one with cabbage for me yesterday.  Really STUNK up the house but I loved it!  I’ll be having leftovers tonight!

    I usually eat more corned beef at one sitting than any other kinds of beef roasts and such.  Don't know why but perhaps it is simply the fact I really like it.    Or...…..I could dust off the tin foil hat and start a conspiracy about those corned beef producers injecting it with crack! :| :D

    Addenda: In honor of our corned beef dinner tonight, I made myself an Irish Old Fashioned. Very nice cocktail!
    2 dashes bitters (I use Fee Brothers)
    2 dashes orange bitters (Fee again)
    1/2 oz simple syrup or one sugar cube, crushed
    2 oz Irish whiskey (I used Tullamore Dew
    Stir and serve over ice.
    I may be a bit crazy - but I didn't drive myself.

    Well...I can tell you that first IOF went down WAY too fast. I might have to risk another.

    Try it again. Had to run out yesterday so I didn't get my Irish on. So got up late (15:00-ish?) and I had me a Guinness so I have an excuse not to go out (avoid a DUI). Catching up on the world hoarding TP and I'm guessing TP is what makes the world spin peacefully. Is there TP in the Middle East (that would explain a lot).

    So time to boil the water from the tap (again) and cook me up some corned beef and cabbage. I think I'll pop in "World War Z" seeing the world is in panic of TP shortage. I'll snack on some chicharones and tamales I picked up while I was out yesterday assessing the silliness that is going around.

    Did the cans of Guinness get smaller? Also anybody else save and collect the ping pong balls in them cans? I think I'll drill them out so I can clean them and make beads. I wonder if the local craft store got glow in the dark paint? I'll figure that out later.
