The Great Thing About Saint Patrick's Day
I am not Irish, nor am I Catholic. I have been known to wear orange on Saint Patrick's Day. I'm not against drinking beer per se, but it is a bit strange the way we tend to turn cultural holidays - Saint Pat's, Cinco de Mayo - into an opportunity to get loaded.
So what do I like about it? The food.
Katy usually makes corned beef for dinner. I may not be down with the Pope but I like my corned beef. And then there's the leftovers.
I love to make big breakfasts on the weekend. Leftover corned beef can be quickly turned into corned beef hash. Mmm, corned beef hash and poached eggs, side of toast, coffee, juice, and the Sunday comics.
Now that's something worth celebrating.

All-righty then.
The reason that I took back the OLD Joy of Cooking that I gave you in college was because it
had the process for corning beef at home. . not hard, you just have to plan ahead. You got a
brand new one at the time and I retrieved the
old favorite. I prefer that recipe. It is
very mild and tender and disappears in no time.
