Happy St. Patrick's Day everyone! Dance a jig and toast to the good things in life! Family, life, love and health!
Got all my exercises in early today. Yay!! Will do some more through out the day and evening. Feeling quite like a little leprechaun after hopping around. Got my green on and, after the exercise, rosy cheeks.
I was going to do my regular St. Patrick's Day corn beef and cabbage but decided on sauerkraut and turkey sausage with caraway seeds instead. No beer :)
Have fun!

Thanks HCB! It was good. I did miss the smell of corned beef and cabbage cooking. Next year, maybe :)

We had the homemade corned beef and cabbage, and it was so fatty that neither one of us liked it. I would have rather had what you had. You're right though, it did smell good while it was cooking.

Learned this from a true Irish girl... boil your corned beef for at least an hour, then remove it, pour out the water (with all the boiled fat in it) and start again with fresh water. Repeat one more time after 2nd hour of cooking. Not only does it remove the fat, it also DRASTICALLY reduces the amount of sodium intake and it REALLY REALLY tastes delicious. Add your veggies to the last potful of water 40 minutes before you're done boiling.

Dairy King, I skim the fat off my corned beef and cabbage. Still a little fatty but good.

Chowdah, good tip! Thanks! What veggies do you put into your corned beef and cabbage. I only used to put potatoes in mine but I stopped adding them since 2011. I was the one eating most of the potatoes!

Sounds like a good tip, thanks! This was an especially fatty brisket. When it was cooked, it seemed like there was still fat connecting every fiber of beef. It was cooked in a pressure cooker. Will a second time of boiling really remove the fat that permeates the meat? I'm not kidding; it looked like a beautiful piece of meat - like a rack of ribs when we started. But the texture ended up awful - good flavor - just that globby texture of fat. I hate to admit this but we always made it with canned corned beef before, and it was so much better. I'm sure the sodium was out of sight though.
