Long gone are the days of $2.99/lb "deals" on corned beef brisket; the
going rate this year across all local markets was $4.99/lb. I bought
three of them this year; two are in the freezer. I love corned beef
brisket and this is the only time of year I can find it. (Sorry, the
canned stuff simply doesn't count as corned beef in my book and no, I'm
not going to bother to "corn" a brisket.) I also picked up a nice head
of cabbage.
I will likely cook it on Saturday. I do it in the crock pot/slow cooker
with the peppercorn spice packet in a minimal amount of water; I do add
a couple of extra dried bay leaves. Towards the end of cooking I cut
the cabbage into wedges and cook it on top of the beef until it's just
fork tender.
I do not cook potatoes and carrots with this. But I did buy some
potatoes so I could make a pan of corned beef hash with some of the
leftover brisket.

I'm a bit surprised I didn't see any corned beef briskets in this weeks Kroger ad. But they do have cabbage 'on sale' for 49¢ per pound and
it's on my list for Friday's shopping.

Publix has one at $4.99/lb I'm thinking that is much higher than
last year.

Not really good sales on the corned beef here either. Cabbage though
is 25cents/lb. Nothing really exciting this week.

I bought corned beef rounds for $4.99/lb. I took your advice and bought
two for the first time ever and froze one. Although corned beef is
available year-around in the refrigerator section of my supermarket, the price is generally atrocious.
I'll make corned beef, potatoes, carrots and cabbage on the stove-top. I serve with yellow mustard. YMMV :)

I don't do the St. Patrick's Day. I do have some Irish Catholic ancestry

Kroger probably has corned beef brisket although I'm surprised you

There are several different kinds of pipes. Northumbrian smallpipes
can be quite pleasant. They sound kind of like an oboe on steroids.

It takes a couple of minutes before the pipes come in. They're playing alongside a flute.

Tex-mex but the masa had the nicely spiced gravy from the slow simmering
of the meat with all the spices added in. Spread on the soaked corn
husks, filled and rolled, simmered over the rest of the gravy. They were delicious but not worth all the trouble.
There are different styles of tamales. There was a restaurant in
Memphis (long defunct) that made them differently, they were slightly
doughy but had a great spicy shredded meat filling, served unwrapped and topped with an almost "country gravy" with lots of spice.
The tamales made locally are steamed in banana leaves rather than corn
husks.

Mexican, so real Mexican food is rare.
I will
take them if they are free. If it's a restaurant and there is a menu you
can bet I will order something else. No way I am making them.

husks.
I can see that leading to a slight difference. When I have had them
there was the distinct taste of corn husk.

leaves are more common here and they hold the shape and steam the
tamales very well. I still don't plan to make tamales again any time soon.

You are so right. He died young and useless pieces of shit like
Donald Trump live to a ripe old age.
That one, and Barrett's Privateers are favourites
of mine.
Friends of mine from my days on the folk scene in Edinburgh, recorded
some of his songs - they do an excellent version of Privateers.

the masa dough on the soaked husks and added the shredded meat,

It's curious how the Catholic and Protestant Irish carry on about
incidents that happened years ago. The Catholics are hung up by
slaughters committed in during the 17th century when the Protestant slaughtered large numbers of Catholics basically in retaliation for atrocities committed by Catholics against the Irish. Meanwhile the
English have seen the Irish rise up against them numerous times while
England was busy dealing with other conflicts. There were too many
incidents where the English were dealing with one serious threat and the Irish rose up and stabbed them in the back.
Back in the early 70s I attended a presentation by the head of Sinn
Fein, the provisional wing of the IRA. If I had not heart the claim with
my own ears I would not have believed it. This guy claimed that the
British army for the poverty of the Catholics saying that they forced
poor Catholics to have large families. He did not explain the mechanics
of that but I guess I was naive enough to think that the Pope and the RC church and their stand on birth control probably had more to do with
that than the British army.

Is Hank blethering about the guy who bragged about the number of

I suspect that is the case. I had no use for the guy and filtered him
shortly after his arrival here. Unlike some of the trolls here that some people feel compelled to reply to, I was not seeing many of his posts

cases of ignoring trolls long enough for them to be disappointed by
their lack of trolling success and getting bored enough to move on.

And the christian holy book says homosexuals should be put to death.
I guess it is to be consistent with all the other human behaviours that zealots think should be punished by death.

I will likely cook it on Saturday. I do it in the crock pot/slow

water; I do add a couple of extra dried bay leaves. Towards the

I'm a bit surprised I didn't see any corned beef briskets in this
weeks Kroger ad. But they do have cabbage 'on sale' for 49¢ per
pound and it's on my list for Friday's shopping.
Not really good sales on the corned beef here either. Cabbage
though is 25cents/lb. Nothing really exciting this week.
$3.99/lb here. Cabbage, however, isn't on sale at my grocery
store. $0.69/lb.

Good men, both of them.
Agreed -
Thanks. I didn't realize harry chapin had died. "TAXI" is gone.
Not too long ago, there was a retired taxi driver that posted here, Until >>> her royal majesty banned him. Sort of a bum, like in Chapin's song. I think >>> his name was joseph thomas, or something.
Too bad he wasn't respectable enough for her majesty.
"Retired taxi driver and kook".
Fixed it for you.
Is Hank blethering about the guy who bragged about the number of
traffic tickets and/or accidents he'd had? The last I recall he was
whining about no one replying to his rambling, incoherent posts.
Methinks he wandered off because he wasn't getting enough attention.

I suspect that is the case. I had no use for the guy and filtered him
shortly after his arrival here.
Unlike some of the trolls here that some
people feel compelled to reply to, I was not seeing many of his posts
quoted in replies.
It seems to have been one of the more successful
cases of ignoring trolls long enough for them to be disappointed by
their lack of trolling success and getting bored enough to move on.

We are doing Porterhouse steak. I will get the tenderloin and my wife

salad with blue cheese dressing.

Because homosexuals can't make new members for the religion.

Hank! How many times do I have to explain it to you?
Originally. it was in the old Jewish book. (The first 5
science-fiction chapters of the 'Old Testament').
Then Christ lived and died. Hundreds of stories were
written about him over centuries and eventually a comittee
decided which ones to make the official 'New Testament'.
Also, Mohammed was born a few centuries later and people
followed him around writing everything he said, which
became 'word of God' when he said it, maybe like Trump
when he imagined re-classifying document security ratings.

You could constantly repeat that someone's a troll. When a rare new
person comes in, you can quickly pull them aside and telll them they shouldn't talk to so and so because that's a troll. You know, the kind
of stuff Jill's already doing.

Long gone are the days of $2.99/lb "deals" on corned beef brisket; the
going rate this year across all local markets was $4.99/lb. I bought
three of them this year; two are in the freezer. I love corned beef
brisket and this is the only time of year I can find it. (Sorry, the
canned stuff simply doesn't count as corned beef in my book and no, I'm
not going to bother to "corn" a brisket.) I also picked up a nice head
of cabbage.
I will likely cook it on Saturday. I do it in the crock pot/slow cooker with the peppercorn spice packet in a minimal amount of water; I do add
a couple of extra dried bay leaves. Towards the end of cooking I cut
the cabbage into wedges and cook it on top of the beef until it's just
fork tender.
I do not cook potatoes and carrots with this. But I did buy some
potatoes so I could make a pan of corned beef hash with some of the
leftover brisket.

I love corned beef, not the lunchmeat though.
I cook the cabbage separately right before serving as I don't care for
eating the slime that comes out of guessing at, and don't have room to
put it in the crock-pot too. I just dumped some of the cooking water
from the crock-pot into the pan for flavor and boiled for 7 minutes.
Both kids won't eat the cabbage no matter what I do to it.

What's the difference? Cook corned beef, slice it thin on a slicer:
