cooking with love and laughter

Happy St. Patrick's Day! My favorite meal, and so easy. There are different ways to make corned beef and cabbage, but I like the boiled meal. Put the corned beef and seasoning in the pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil and turn down to simmer and cover. Simmer an hour per pound. Add the vegetables an hour before done. I like potatoes cut in half, cabbage in wedges, and carrots. This year I served it with a salad of leaf lettuce, can of beets (drained), and a cut up apple dressed with blue cheese vinegarette. Tomorrow, I can't wait to have a reuben from the leftovers.
