our st. patrick's day dinner was a big success. the corned beef turned out deliciously. perfectly salted and pink. we've decided we should no longer wait until st. patrick's day to have some on hand; it is, after all, so very easy to make. after it boiled for about 2 hours, i put it in the oven for 40 minutes or so, fat side up. the fat rendered and ran all down over the meat, resulting in a delicious roast. bryan smashed up red potatoes with butter and cream, and sauteed the cabbage; mom's soda bread was delish (i polished off the last of the loaf with butter and tea for breakfast this morning). we were far too stuffed to even contemplate dessert.
no cute oliver pics, unfortunately, as he hadn't napped much during the day and was in bed by 6. he got up at 7:30 for his big feeding, then was on a 4 hour schedule after that. what a good baby.
i am counting the minutes until lunch, when i get to sink my teeth into the homemade pastrami sandwich i made this morning.
WFD: flat iron steak with mushrooms and red wine sauce, yellow squash, salt and pepper potato rounds. god i love my life.
